"Santafly/Santa Doesn't Cop Out On Dope," Martin Mull (Capricorn)

Most people only know Martin Mull from his comic acting turns in various sitcoms and movies and his recurring role on "Roseanne" as Leon, the homosexual boss from hell. Back in the 70s, though, he had a recording career as a satiric pop-folk singer and did six or seven albums of humorous songs and pop parodies. "Santa Doesn't Cop Out" is a little too cute (and Sonic Youth's version isn't much of an improvement), but "Santafly" is a hilarious takeoff on 70s R'nB, blaxploitation soundtrack division, as you might guess from the title. None of Martin's original albums except Martin Mull and his Fabulous Furniture in Your Living Room are currently in print, to my knowledge, but these two songs are part of Rhino's Have a Nice Christmas compilation, which is out of print as well but may be lurking on Amazon or eBay somewhere.
