Parodies
Who sang "Chipmunks Roasting On an Open Fire"?
The Christmas Song
The title of "The Simpsons" episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" is a parody of the song. Bob Rivers parodied the song with his 2000 album, and the title track from said album, "Chipmunks Roasting On an Open Fire". Christy Darlington did a "punk rock" style arrangement of the song for his "All the wrong moves" album. Stan Freberg's "Green Chri$tma$" includes several snippets of holiday songs. One segment begins with a sincere-sounding "Chestnuts roasting..." and quickly segués into a mock 1950s radio or TV ad, for a brand of chestnuts, being described as if they were toothpaste or cigarettes. Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies parodied the song in 2011. Taylor Schlicht parodied the song in 2012.
