“Santa Lost a Ho” by The Christmas Jug Band – An Hilarious Original Holiday Skiffle

Posted on 2022-12-11 by Wacky Alex

We’ve been sleeping on this one folks. I checked the notes. The Christmas Jug Band released the album that contains this track all the way back in 2002. Amazing. I first heard the song only a year ago. How did this stay under the radar for so long!?

The band has been around since the 1970s and the first album Mistletoe Jam, was released in 1987. They are still an act today releasing new material and playing live shows. The majority of their songs are original compositions in the Skiffle genre. Their CDs are fun and collectible.

What better song to listen to on World Snake Day? “Boa Constrictor” was written by Shel Silverstein.

Johhny Cash covered the song for his comedy album Everybody Loves A Nut in 1966.

The lyrics later appeared in a collection of poems, lyrics and stories called Where The Sidewalk Ends. first published in 1974.

I had this book myself as a child as well as the sequel, A Light In The Attic. I recommend booth books to any kid age 5-12. There is also a musical record to go with the first book.
