I Gave Baltimore Crabs! (For Christmas)
In 1981, Baltimore’s own David DeBoy released his silly song, Crabs for Christmas.
After selling tens of thousands of records, CDs, and digital copies, the song has become a regional holiday favorite. Now, for the first time, David tells the inside story of how Crabs for Christmas became a regional sensation! He’ll also share hilarious (and sometimes embarrassing) tales of his triumphs (and failures) as a singer, actor, writer, voiceover artist, and general troublemaker.
PLUS: within these pages you just might learn how you, too, can get your songs on the radio, your face in the movies, and yourself in TV and radio commercials.
IT’S THE PERFECT GIFT for every Bawlamer native… and those who love them!
Merry Crabs, Hon!!
In 1981 David DeBoy’s hit single, “Crabs for Christmas” descended on an unsuspecting Baltimore. More than 10,000 records (remember those vinyl singles?) were sold in four weeks. Since then, David has recorded two more hit albums and performed his Balto-centric songs all around the state.
The song became so “popler” that we had to create this Official Website!
Here you’ll find Crabby Christmas gifts (like David’s brand-new book!) and NEWS about David and his upcoming Crab-tacular events. You can even lern some gen-u-INE Bawlamerese words and phrases!
So have fun swipin’ and flippin’ and clickin’, Hon!!!
