Bob Rivers is a well known American rock and roll radio on air personality in the Pacific Northwest as well as a prolific producer of parody songs, most famous for his Christmas song parodies.
Rivers' radio program, The Bob Rivers Show, is broadcast on Seattle rock station KZOK-FM.
The Bob Rivers Show current cast includes: Spike O'Neill; "Downtown" Joe Bryant; newswoman Maura Gallucci ; director Arik Korman; and producers Luciana Bosio and Pedro Bartes.
Previously, between late 1989 and August 2000, the show aired on Seattle, Washington Active Rock radio station KISW-FM under the title Bob Rivers Twisted Radio. The Bob Rivers Show was also simulcast on Portland, Oregon "1980s Rock Hits" radio station KVMX (now KXJM) "Mix 107.5" from until , when the station dropped the morning show and switched to a Rhythmic Adult Contemporary format under the new branding "Movin' 107.5".
WAAF Bob and Zip
Bob Rivers spent almost 6 years at WAAF-FM in Boston, as part of their successful Bob and Zip morning show with fellow on air personality Peter "Zip" Zipfel.
During his tenure with WAAF, Rivers started producing parody and novelty songs, both for the station and for the KATZ/Newcity "American Comedy Network", a radio syndication service that provided comedy material to local U.S. and Canadian radio stations. One of the first parodies he produced was "Breakin' Up Is Hard On You", about the lawsuit and the resulting Bell System divestiture, the court ordered split up of U.S. telecommunications company AT&T's Bell System. The song was sung to the tune of Neil Sedaka's #1, 1962 hit "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" and peaked at #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop music chart.
In 1987, Rivers released Twisted Christmas, which contained the Christmas music radio hit "Twelve Pains of Christmas", a parody of the holiday standard "The Twelve Days of Christmas". "Twisted Christmas" was certified a gold record by the RIAA.
WIYY "98 Rock"
In the spring of 1988, at Baltimore radio station "98 Rock" WIYY-FM, as a lead morning show personality between 1987 and 1989, Bob Rivers gained national attention for an 11-day, on-the-air marathon during a Baltimore Orioles losing streak. He vowed to remain on the air until the Orioles won a game. He kept his vow and became a local celebrity among Orioles fans for his pledge.
During his time at 98 Rock, he and WIYY radio collaborated with Sheffield Recording Studios to continue his campaign of 'Twisted Tunes'
KISW Twisted Radio
After arriving at KISW in Seattle in 1989, Rivers released a second album of humorous holiday-themed music in 1993 entitled I Am Santa Claus (the title track was a parody of Black Sabbath's song "Iron Man"). Since then, three other Christmas-themed albums have been released, including: More Twisted Christmas (1997); Chipmunks Roasting On an Open Fire (2000); and White Trash Christmas (2002).
Bob Rivers and his Twisted Radio show have also produced a countless number of regular, non-holiday parodies covering anything from pop culture to politicians, to the various sports teams and players in the Seattle area. These "Twisted Tunes" can be heard for free on his website. CD compilation albums are also available.

on Carol of the Bartenders
Hark how the cocktails
Seem to flow
Gin tanqueray
More Chardonnay
Christmas is near
Drinking good cheer
Ice cubes are cold
More Cuervo Gold
Don’t be a dink
Watch what you drink
Don’t be a dork
Don’t pop the cork
Don’t take the wheel
Don’t be a heel
Don’t grab the stick
Don’t be a dick
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t let your buddy Budweiser in the car
Be a bud and don’t drink and drive
If you think you’ve had a few too many
Grab a booth and sober up at Denny’s
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Hark how the cocktails
Seem to flow
Don’t drive away
Don’t swerve and sway
Christmas is near
Drinking good cheer
Ice cubes are cold
More Cuervo Gold
Don’t be dink
Watch what you drink
Don’t be a dork
Don’t pop the cork
Don’t take the wheel
Don’t be a heel
Don’t grab the stick
Don’t be a dick
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Have Shirley Temple drive
You’ll get home alive
She’s a friend that
Won’t drink and drive
If you drink Gin Fizzes like the fishes
You will land your britches in the ditches
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t drink and drive
Don’t take the wheel
Don’t be a heel
Don’t grab the stick
Don’t be a dick
Don’t drink and drive
