Changes: Ren & Stimpy's Crock O' Christmas

Revision as of 09:56, 31 December 2007

Crock O' Christmas is a music/story Christmas album featuring Nickelodeon's early 1990's animated characters Ren & Stimpy.

The album, released September 21, 1993, follows Ren and Stimpy as they prepare for the holidays; in their case, the holiday is "Yaksmas Eve," a reference to the second episode of the original 1991 season in which they prepare for "Yak Shaving Day" and a visit from the "Shaven Yak" via his flying "enchanted canoe." Soiled diapers are hung from mantlepieces in lieu of stockings while another tradition calls for filling of one's uncle's boots with coleslaw. It is hoped that the Shaven Yak, who appears via the drain of the bathtub, will leave shaving cream scum in the bathroom sink.

Crock O' Christmas was re-released on compact disc August 5, 1997 on the Kid Rhino record label. As was the case with later episodes of the television program, Billy West provided the speaking voices of both Ren and Stimpy.
