Yes, this is an album for all seasons of the year, a collection full of good cheer, good laughs, and of course pooh. Here are eighteen - count 'em, eighteen - South Park Christmas classics to keep your heart warm, your funny bone tickled, and your bowels regular. Get the party started with the classic early 50s version that started the whole phenomenon, Mr. Hankey the Christmas Pooh. If that doesn't get you in the South Park Christmas spirit, Mr. Garrison's energetic rendition of Merry F'ing Christmas will - unless you're one of those dirty heathens who don't celebrate the season. You'll join Mr. Hat in applauding this modern classic. Let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas, though - close your eyes and listen to Eric Cartman's beautiful version of Oh Holy Night - you can...Read more 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful: By William Fricke (St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics (Audio CD) Explicit lyrics, offensive songs, potty humor, what more could you ask for from Trey and Matt? If you have a sense of humor about the world and yourself, you'll love this. If you don't, you probably wouldn't be reading this right now.The lyrics are hysterical, but what impressed me most was the music itself. Marc Shaiman (and Trey) did an awesome job of writing and arranging these tunes. The arrangement of the "Driedel Song" is classic! I also know that Cartman's version of "Holy Night" has ruined me for any other recording of it. I also can't wait for the day when "Dead, Dead, Dead" is a staple at all elementary school holiday programs. It's catchy, easy to sing and will stick in your head, head, head... There are a few disappointments (We Three Kings, Carol of the Bells, Six Ships and a couple of others), but who's perfect? That's why CD players are programmable. A nice diversion from listening to the same old holiday music.

It's the traditional Christmas songs with the added twist and charm of Cartman, Mr. Hankey, Satan, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, Mr. Mackey, and others.Mr. Hankey's Christmas special last year was very good, but since it was shown on Comedy Central, all the bad words were bleeped out. This compilation has all the songs and more in their entirety. I've been listening to this CD at work about 3-4 times a day (on repeat mode) for the last month and still love it. My personal favorites are Merry Fucking Christmas, Swiss Coloney Beef Log, Christmas Time in Hell, and the Most Offensive Song Ever, O Holy Night, and I Saw Three Ships. In my opinion, this is a truly great Holiday collection with many great selections. |
