Santa Clause And his Old Lady

1971

Cheech And Chong

Back during the '70s and '80s there was a comedy duo made up of Richard 'Cheech' Marin and Tommy Chong who were, to out it mildly, flat out hilarious...and their first single was a Christmas novelty song that's become pretty much a Christmas staple.

The song involves a not-too-talented songwriter trying to write a song about Santa Clause, asking for help from a passer by (Who's 'Not from around here, Man...I come from Pittsburg' ) and then trying to explain to him just who this Santa Clause dude is (Hint...he's not a musician).

The song was released in December of 1971, made it to #38 on The Billboard Hot 100, and became a Christmas staple while also kicking off the career of one of the most hilariously funny comedy teams from any era.

So Enjoy! Santa Claus and his Old Lady, By Cheech and Chong
