I Am Santa Claus, Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio (Atlantic)

Bob Rivers began calling his parodies Twisted Tunes around the time of this 1993 album. The title song "I Am Santa Claus" is done to the tune of Black Sabbath's "Ironman" and is alone worth the price of the album. With this album, Rivers began cultivating a harder rock sound that also does an excellent job of sounding like the bands being parodied, as in the case of the above-mentioned title song, "Jingle Hells Bells" evoking AC/DC doing "My Favorite Things" and "O Little Town of Bethehem," which sounds like the Animals doing "House of the Rising Sun." Other note-perfect parodies from this disc include "Walkin' Round in Women's Underwear" ("Winter Wonderland"),  "Didn't I Get This Last Year" ("Do You Hear What I Hear"), "Manger 6," a takeff on the Tom Bodett Motel 6 ads, "Grahbe Yabalz" pokes fun at Michael Jackson's dance moves, and "The What's It To Ya Chorus" makes the familiar chorus a bit more in-your-face. Another great collection from Rivers.
