About the Band Bah & the Humbugs have made new, funny holiday music an annual tradition since 1985. In a congenially irreverent style, the Humbugs poke fun at Santa Claus, snowmen, reindeer, Mrs. Claus, elves, the New Year, and various Christmas scrooges running the gamut from the sublime to the absurd — no one is safe! Beloved figures of folklore, respected political personages, even tasty holiday treats have all been subjected to the Humbugs' satirical wit. With catchy melodies in a variety of styles, Bah & the Humbug put the "X" back in Xmas and keep spirits bright all through the holiday season.
