Christmas brings out the cover singers and karaoke.

I got caught last night singing “White Christmas” just like Bing Crosby, really!

Jimmy Fallon does a credible Bob Dylan so when a fan suggested he sing “Jingle Bells Batman Smells” why not?

“Jingle Bells, Batman Smells” is a Christmas favorite of young boys as they lose their innocence.  Jimmy Fallon has nailed his Dylan routine.

Bob Dylan likes Christmas favourites too. Two years ago he covered the Christmas school festival chestnut “Must Be Santa”.

It’s hard for Dylan to parody himself, so he just copied the Tex-Mex polka band Brave Combo who have been playing “Must Be Santa” for years.

Here’s Bob Dylan.

And then here’s Brave Combo doing their cover of “Must Be Santa” unlike anything heard in elementary school.

What will you be singing this Christmas?
 
Jimmy Fallon has a CD/MP3 released of some of his funnier music bits, ranging from Neil Young and Neil Young to guest shots with Dave Matthews, Paul McCartney and Justin Timberlake.
