Cobra's Crude Christmas Carols
Cobra's Crude Christmas Carols is the first holiday album by KingCobraJFS. The original Christmas 2020 release had a total runtime of 40 minutes and 58 seconds, with a re-release in Christmas 2023 adding 5 extra bonus tracks.
Despite the name, Cobra's Crude Christmas Carols are not singularly about Christmas, as he also makes mention of the Easternoth and the New Year.
Music and Lyrics
Cobra uses backing tracks or karaoke versions to parody holiday classics. The accompaniments are recorded off of his computer speakers and as such possess a roomy, albeit low definition, sound quality to them.
Cobra's lyrics run the gamut from politically charged to toilet humor, from using expletives as though using a Mad-Libs to overt sexual references. As he often does, he creates his own avant-garde lyrical delivery, challenging western rhythmic and melodic norms.
