The Mom and Dads

Artist: The Mom and Dads
LP: Merry Christmas / Happy New Year with The Mom and Dads
Song: "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"
[ listen ]

On the back of their 1972 Christmas record, The Mom and Dads demonstrate what happens when folks interpret "don we now our gay apparel" too literally. Based in Washington's second largest city, The Mom and Dads were especially beloved by Canadians, where their "Rippling River Waltz" went to #38 on the singles charts in 1971.
