[a fool in paradise]

America’s least-loved Christmas song is a Danish recording of “Jingle Bells,” performed in dog barks.

Sweden gave us this chestnut.

Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas, On that yolly holiday,
I'll go in the red, like a knucklehead
Cause I squander all my pay.
Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas,
Shopping sure drives me beserk,
On the day before, I rush in da store,
Like a nervous nelly yerk.
I look at nightgowns for my vife,
Dose black ones trimmed in red.
But, I won't know her size,
And so, she'll get a carpet sweeper instead.
Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
Ven each kid hangs up his sock,
Its a time for kids, to flip der lids,
While der papa goes in hock.

[Charles Martel]

Ah yes, Harry Stewart as “Yogi Yorgesson”. I hadn’t heard “I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas” in thirty years - but not surprisingly it is on YouTube.
