What are your favorite novelty Christmas songs?
I'll start it off with mine - I've found a few lately that have just cracked me up! (I will have to edit the titles a bit, though) 
Found 'em on napster:
1) Ho, Ho, Fu..ing Ho by Monty Python
2) Merry Fu..ing Christmas from South Park
3) Holy Sh.t It's Christmas by Bob Rivers

Don't know if it would be considered a novelty song, but I always thought that "Father Christmas" by the Kinks was one of the best Christmas songs...funny, shocking and poignant all at the same time.
"Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothing
While your drinking down your wine"
-- Ray Davies

I don't remember the name of it, but years ago, I heard Jingle Bells done in burps.

"I am Santa Claus" done to the music of Black Sabbaths "Iron Man".
Best Christmas music is Trans-Siberian Orchestra, especially "A Mad Russian's Christmas" from the Christmas Eve album. TSO is Christmas music that defies description.

That "I am santa clause" is done by that "Bob Rivers" guy! (he also did that parody of Brittany Spears - "oops I farted again"
I LOVE Trans Siberian Orchestra! The best I've ever come up with to describe them is "Rock Orchestra". (?) (I really don't know HOW you would classify them - they're in a class of their own!)

And then there's a song from oh 20some-odd years ago that some friends of mine and I used to sing:
Christmastime is here by golly
Disapproval would be folly
Deck the halls with hunks of holly
Fill the cups and don't say when.
Kill the turkeys, ducks, and chickens
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens
Even tho the prospect sickens,
Brother here we go again...
Oh Christmas Day you can't get sore
Your fellow man you must adore
There's time to despise them all the more
The other 364..
Hark the herald angels sing
Advertising wondrous things
God rest ye merry merchants may you
Make the Yuletide pay...
So let the raucous sleighbells jingle
Hail to our dear friend Kris Kringle
Riding his reindeer across the sky
Don't stand under when they fly by.

Kiheicat: That's a Tom Lehrer ditty.
For you TSO lovers: You have GOT to get "Beethoven's Last Night"!

kiheicat - I have that song on Dr. Demento's Greatest Christmas Novelty CD. Tom Lehrer. The booklet has his picture, he looks like Buddy Holly's big brother.
tigerlady - I wanted to describe TSO as Manheim Steamroller for heavy metal fans, but I really want people to try it.

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer" is my fav
"Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.
She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had hoof-prints on her forehead,
and incriminating Claus marks on her back."

Jill Sobule singing “Merry Christmas From the Family” by Robert Earl Keen
This was included on the “Women Of Christmas In The Garden Of Lilith” CD.
This CD is great and is available on eBay or half.com.

here's mine:
- "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses ("A&P has provided me with the world's smallest turkey"
- "It's Christmas at Ground Zero" by Weird Al Yankovic ("But if someone's climbin' down your chimney/ You better point your gun and shoot to kill"
And the inevitable "12 Days of Christmas" parodies---Alan Sherman with the "statue of a naked lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be" (all the junk in that song reminds me of eBay!) and another, I don't know who does it, where the 12 days include stuff like "Hangovers!" and a woman screaming about how she has to make dinner for her inlaws.

Tis true indeed!
I am guessing that your not familiar with "The Dice Man" ...LOL
He's a real funny, but REAL filthy comedian.
He's banned for life from MTV and SNL, because going "LIVE" with him on air was NOT good for them...LMAO

Last night on one of the late shows they had a country group singing "Christmas In The Slammer"
It was about driving drunk and having to spend christmas in jail. Kinda cute actually.

netlawhopeful: Hey, that's my favorite line from my favorite in this category! In fact, just two weeks ago I finally tracked down a copy so I can play it whenever I want, instead of waiting to hear it! (You mean _you_ forgot cranberries _too_!?!)
You can find Bob Rivers Twisted Tunes here: http://twistedtunes.com/frames/store_frame.asp, including his newest Christmas CD.

'tho this dates me, my favorite is probably 'I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas' .. but that goes back a few years ...
*off topic* Corrdogg, are you a Jill fan, or just a fan of that particular song? Just curious, since I saw her perform a few weeks ago, and she was great.
edited cuz how many times do you need to use the word 'probably' in a two sentence post?
