Wow, never heard that song before. Excellent.
If we're talking Christmas songs by someone called Kelly...
Frank Kelly's Twelve Days Of Christmas
(Hilarious, very Irish take on the story, from the 'Father Jack' actor. It's not Christmas till I've heard this.)

{Slight detour back to reindeer. Then proceed from the correct one, just above this. We apologize for the inconvenience. Free refreshments available.}
"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" (Metro Lyrics).
This is really fun. Various media forms exist, including a cute TV cartoon show.

Staying Christmasy...
"The Marvelous Toy", written by Tom Paxton.
Covered by Peter, Paul, and Mary, and also by John Denver. (Paul sang the PPM version, and really got into it. Lots of fun!)

Very tenuous association - songs with numbers in the title. Maybe I just wanted an excuse to listen to

Some of you will know that as well as being a wonderful musician Bob Dylan is also a painter. He's apparently written more than one song about Vincent van Gogh, but AFAIK Don Maclean's song is more famous.

References to songs I don't need to click on because I know them makes me say I Hate You. (Monks, 1966 which are a different band than The Monks)
