Ho, Ho, Ho | Christmas

Ho, Ho, Ho (officially titled “VH1 Presents RuPaul Ho Ho Ho”) is the 1997 album of Christmas music released by drag queen, singer and actress RuPaul. The album was a combination of original music, standards and comedy vingettes. Most of the traditional songs were given a campy twist. The title is a double entendre: though it is a phrase associated with Christmas (it is the sound of Santa’s laughter expressed through onomatopoeia,) the term “ho” also refers to a whore or prostitute. The album’s cover features three scantily-clad versions of RuPaul, and the back cover features her legs with panties around the ankles; these are the “three hoes”.

The album was tied-in to a television Christmas special from The RuPaul Show on VH1. Much of the humor on the album is of a risqué nature, making it quite different from traditionally wholesome holiday albums. For instance, the classic “All I Want For Christmas” is turned into a thumping dance song with lyrical changes requesting breast implants, a tummy tuck and rhinoplasty, so that (as she sings) “I can look real purty!”.
