Reader Bill the Splut says,
"As the owner of scores of freakishly anti-Christmas albums that have been used to abuse my friends at this time of year, I was excited to buy "Tijuana Christmas" for a dollar. But I never used it. The reason isn't that LP isn't cheezy enough, but because the joke is too subtle. As an actual, admitted lifetime fan of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Tijuana Christmas is brilliant. They aren't just Xmas tunes–every one is a parody of a TJB hit. For instance, note how track 3 mimics A Taste of Honey. The rest of the tracks have similar musical jokes.
"And people would've caught those jokes. Remember, the TJB was a huge success before the Beatles came over. Anyone who was an American kid in the 60s had parents with most of Herb's LPs. Why else do you think that you find so many copies of Whipped Cream and Other Delights in every stack of used vinyl?"
