Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas

The world has sorely lacked a Christmas album that prompts uproarious laughter from children and stoned adults alike – until now. Have Yourself a Meaty Little Christmas finds Meatwad leading the cast of Cartoon Network's "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" through warped Christmas classics and a few originals. The disc is worth the price just to hear Neko Case gorgeously croon, "I really think the issue is they couldn't find a tissue and used your stocking as a handkerchief," in "Santa Left a Booger in My Stocking." Carl offers a little too much information about how he'll keep himself entertained in "I'll Be Home for Christmas." From "Feliz Navidad" to "'Twas the Night Before Jesus," Meaty Little Christmas is ridiculously funny, but best enjoyed after grandma, grandpa and the in-laws have left. If anyone's going to give Bob Dylan, Mannheim Steamroller and José Feliciano a run for their money this Christmas, it's Meatwad.

(Williams Street Records) 4 out of 5 stars.
