I'm sure we're all familiar with the 12 Days Of Christmas. It's one of the most popular Christmas songs, and it's quite old. So, this year we're bringing it up to date. We're celebrating the 12 Days Of RIFFmas!

What is the 12 Days Of RIFFmas? Good question! It's a new parody of the 12 Days Of Christmas...only it's all about WRIF. To celebrate, we wrote a song using some of the WRIF on-air staff's favorite things.

The 12 Days Of RIFFmas

There are no turtle doves nor lords a-leaping in the 12 Days Of RIFFmas. They can stay comfortably with the original song. The 12 Days Of RIFFmas parody is much more rock and roll focused. This is a parody song that rocks. Well, sort of.

Cort Freeman and Rev Robb are not singers. However, they give it their all (and then some) in this parody. We are not trying to claim them as singers. Don't expect quality there. However, if you know the Riff, you'll appreciate this parody song.

The song features references fans and casual listeners alike should understand and be familiar with. It contains references to some of Dave and Chuck The Freak's well-know bits, Jade's references, Meltdown's interests, and more!

Before we get to the full video below, check out the bloopers! Clearly, Cort and Rev Robb had a blast filming this video.

It's all lighthearted fun for the holiday season. From our family at 101 WRIF to yours we hope you have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, Happy Holidays, and a splendid New Year!

Check out the 12 Days Of RIFFmas parody of the 12 Days Of Christmas below! See how many of the references you get and understand. In the meantime, we'll continue to work on our voices. Maybe by next year we can perform in harmony. Until then, this is what you get. We think it's funny and hopefully you will too.

Happy Holidays, friends! Looking forward to more in 2024! Watch the video below.

Festivus and 14 Other ‘Seinfeld’-isms We Now Use In Everyday Life

Happy Festivus, everyone!

Now, before the "Airing of Grievances" or the "Feats of Strength," consider looking back on the countless Seinfeld-isms that have become part of the pop culture lexicon. Think of it as a "Festivus Miracle," if you will.

Festivus

People celebrate Festivus now.  Seriously, here’s a Festivus kit for sale on Amazon!

“Hello…Newman”

Know someone you can’t stand?  Ever greet them with the same disdain?  Stop kidding yourself; yes, you have!


The Jerk Store

We’ve all met someone that belongs in The Jerk Store.

“You’re So Good Looking”

…And sneezes have never been the same!


"Shrinkage"

HE WAS IN THE POOL!


“…Not that there’s anything wrong with that”

Easily one of the most versatile Seinfeld-isms from the whole series.


"No soup for you!"

Soup!  Seinfeld has changed the way we look at soup since this classic episode!


"Spare a square"

You know a show is influential when you could be sitting on the toilet and think about it.


Man hands

Jerry was always picky about his women, but this was easily one of our favorite “deal breakers” of his.


"Master of your domain"

Really…this entire episode is a prime example of just how good the writing was.


“Sponge-worthy”

The fact that Luke from Gilmore Girls is the one trying to prove himself to be “sponge-worthy” makes this clip even better.


“Yada Yada Yada”

Anyone else “yada yada’d” sex?  Anyone…anyone?


Regifting

Some of us have “regifted” pre-Seinfeld, but they helped coin the term.


Schmoopie

My in-laws call each other “schmoopie.” Even though they’re just kidding around, it’s still gross.


“These pretzels are making me thirsty!”

Regardless of the type of pretzel, it’s hard not to think of this Seinfeld-ism when you’re eating them.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Riff!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
