Another New Holiday Fest Bonus
This isn't exactly a Holiday Music Fest entry, nor is it "Another New Rainbow" song parody by Randy Rainbow. But it is a holiday song parody which overlaps -- so, we'll call it a bonus of sorts.
This is a parody of the Santa Claus song, "The Man with the Bag," performed by Broadway star Laura Benanti. She recently starred in the revival of My Fair Lady (though as the replacement 'Eliza Doolittle'), as well as the revival of She Loves Me (from which I just posted a Holiday Music Fest song yesterday), and revivals of Gypsy (as 'Gypsy,' not 'Mama Rose') and The Sound of Music (as a replacement 'Maria' in her Broadway debut). So, lots of revivals, though not that alone. And she's also probably best-known to audiences these days for being a somewhat-close lookalike and playing 'Melania Trump' in recurring sketches on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
But there's even more of a overlap. Because the lyrics of this parody were not only written in part by Ms. Benanti (it was her idea), but also...Randy Rainbow.
So, however this fits into thing, here it is as a bonus.
