I have a question for you, since you listen to a lot of music. Have you ever heard Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio? I ask because on one of their tapes (happens to be a Christmas one) they sing 'Oh Little Town of Bethlehem' to the music of 'House of the Rising Sun'. I just wondered if you had ever heard that?

No, I never have heard of them. Never heard their version of 'Oh Little Town of Bethlehem' / 'House of the Rising Sun'. That would be extremely odd, and in my opinion, a rip off of both works. On the other hand, if Twisted Radio is intended to be a parody thing, then I can understand the point of mixing both songs.

Ya know, I never thought of the song being a parody. I kind of like it. Bluesy. I have Christmas CD's that change the music. Like 'Big Band Christmas Swing'. But, you raise some good points.

Found a review site that says the CD is full of parodies but they had this to say about Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.

O Little Town of Bethlehem: Picture the song by this title sung to the tune of “House of the Rising Sun”. This is a great rocking version and good fun.
