The Newly Holidayized Hits of the 1990s

 

Having already turned several chart toppers from the Fifties through the Seventies into Christmas tunes (Click the Christmas label to find them), we now focus our parody powers on the 1990s*:

How Am I Supposed to Give Without You?  -  Michael Bolton doesn't know what gifts to buy now that he's divorced.

Nice Ice Baby  -  Vanilla Ice raps about the quality of his girlfriend's backyard pond.

Baby Baby  -  "Baby baby, laying in a manger. You came to rescue my soul from danger." (Amy Grant)

Baby Took Back  -  Sir Mix-A-Lot tells the tale of returning purchases.

Santa's Paradise  -  "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of snow, I take a look at my life and think, 'Ho Ho Ho'!" (Coolio)

I Will Always Love Eggnog  -  A huge hit for Whitney Houston

I'll Make Rolls for You  -  "I'll make rolls for you like grandma used to do." (Boyz II Men)

Mo Money Mo Gifts  -  The Notorious B.I.G. pays homage to consumerism.

Gettin' Figgy Wit It  -  "On your mark ready set let's go; Kitchen pro I know you know I go psycho when my pudding's lit; Just can't sit; Gotta get figgy wit it" (Will Smith)

Livin' La Vida Mortal  -  Ricky Martin sings as if he's Jesus celebrating his family's escape to Egypt. The video for this song featured a computer-generated dancing baby.
