Pull My Finger, Jingle Smells (Oglio)

Now THIS is a one-joke album, the Spike Jones of Christmas farting. This has Flatulena beat all hollow in terms of overkill, if nothing else. Orchestral versions of Christmas carols with people farting along in rhythm, if not quite in pitch. Except for the "unplugged" versions of "We Wish You a Smelly Xmas," "Jingle Smells," and "Soil the Halls," in which, yes, the orchestra remains silent. Strangely enough, there's one original song, "Farts Under the Mistletoe," and I suppose we should issue a Hanukkah Alert for "Stinky Dreidel." I was originally going to write this like it was a New Yorker review of something quite substantial, then I wised the hell up. UPDATE: There are actually belches and burps on this album as well as farts, so I guess technically this is a TWO-joke album.
