Drink N.B. Merry: beer1

Taking a sudsy breather from the hard stuff, beer (and other grainy fortified brews) may apply what the elves in Santa’s backroom call a buzz: just enough of an edge to make musicians think they’re funny. So make way for a barful of parodies.

Brian of the WGAR morning show (Cleveland’s Great Lakes ale) “Christmas Ale Song.” Give it a 5.

Bubba Claus “Frosty the Beer Mug.” A 6.

Nick Stockwell “What’s This? A Beer!” An 8, no a 7 because it’s too long/not Christmas.

Jim News, Mike Polk (Cleveland’s Great Lakes ale) “Oh Christmas Ale.” Between a 7 and an 8.

Abe Smith, Sean White “It’s the Most Wonderful Time to Drink Beer.” A 7.

The better impression (think it’s Bob Farley): 8.

Uncredited ‘Rudolph’ version: another 8.

Martian Patriots “Beer Christmas Song.” 8+. Shameless self promotion wins.
