Different versions of "Jingle Bells" have been made.
"Batman smells"[]
This version has been a well-known parody since at least the early 1970s, with many variations on the lyrics, usually those aren't seen below.
In the Batman: The Animated Series Christmas episode "Christmas With the Joker", the Joker himself sings it during his escape from Arkham Asylum, adding in this extra verse while he's at it:
- Crashing through the roof
- In a one-horse open tree
- Busting out I go
- Laughing all the WHEE! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
As part of the Kids' WB! Kooky Karolfest in 1999, the Joker sang a new, slightly extended version.
- Joker: Jingle bells, Batman smells
- Robin laid an egg
- Batman bites
- In his grey tights
- Batgirl's got chubby legs!
- Batgirl: Hey!
- Joker: Jingle bells, Batdumb bells
- Batjet's led astray
- Batmobile
- Lost a wheel
- And Joker got away!
- Batman: Not this time! [drops a cage on Joker]
- The British version is as follows
- Jingle Bells
- Batman Smells
- Robin flew away
- Uncle billy lost his willy
- on the motoway
- HEY!
In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Santa Claus, Mike and the Bots start singing Jingle Bells with the Batman Smells lyrics during the opening credits of the film.

- Broiler pans and soda cans
- Just throw them all right in
- Hey! Plastic jugs, margarine tubs
- Pretty soon you’ll know
- What goes into a magic bus
- Ready? Here we go!
- So melt that metal down
- Pour it in the mold
- Now we’re shaping something
- New from something old. Ha ha ha!

- When you want to recreate
- Your favorite magic bus.

- We chop up what we choose
- Melt it, cool it, now we’ve got

- Our bus will be brand new!
Recess version[]
This version, based on the Disney animated show Recess, was first used in the end credits for the show's Christmas special "Yes, Mikey, Santa Does Shave". It was performed by Robert Goulet, who provided Mikey's singing voice. It was later featured with visuals in the direct-to-video compilation film, Recess Christmas: Miracle on Third Street.
Oh, jingle bells,
Prickly smells,
Menlow's such a drag.
The Ashley girls
flip their curls,
and Finster is a hag.
Oh, jingle bells,
Randall tells
Kindergartners scream.
What's that noise?
The Digger boys,
for lunch they ate some beans.
Oh, jingle bells,
Christmas spells,
Two weeks off from school.
No more books,
or lunch room crooks.
The holidays are cool!

- Ponies, hold on tight because
- We're about to tip the scales!
- Tomorrow is Christmas Morning
- Tomorrow is Christmas Day
- And Santa's coming 'round the corner and he's bringing presents
- 'Cause he's been filling up that, filling up that Santa sleigh

- As colors start to show
- Streaming through our manes
- The higher up we go
- Even faster still
- Faces fearing doom

Spidey Bells (A Hero's Lament)[]
Spidey Bells (A Heros Lament) is a song from the album A Very Spidey Christmas that is sung by Spider-Man, voiced by Chris Pine.
Oh, Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
Swinging through Midtown
Oh, what fun to sling a web
And take the bad guys down
Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
Quipping all the time
Oh, what fun to swing around
New York while fighting crime
Thwipping through the streets
Of New York every night
Wrapping bad guys up
In my web so tight
Crawling up the walls
Making villains fight
What fun to make the holidays
Free from crime tonight
Oh, Spider Bells, Goblin smells
Vulture laid an egg
Spider-Buggy blew a tire
Venom got away-ay
Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
Swinging all the way
Oh, what fun it is to fight
The bad guys every night
Swinging through the streets
A web of spider silk
Kicking all the butts
Of villains and their ilk
Bombs from goblins fling (fling!)
Pumpkins burning bright (bright!)
How hard it is to consistently bring
Peace to New York all night
Oh, Spidey Bells, might be swell
To do more than fight crime
I got a lotta qualities that don't get much airtime
I-I can sing, I can dance
I tell jokes, I act
I get big, big... big deal, my agent call me back
Why did I agree to do this stupid song?
I have a degree in Chemical Engineering
I thought it would be funTo show this side of me
But now I feel it lacksArtistic integrity
Oh, Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
Is this who Ive become?
Selling out my good name for an impulse buy
How dumb
Oh, Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
I'm filled with deep regret
I'm cancelling this song's release
For the press I get
Oh, Spidey Bells, Spidey Bells
Swinging through Midtown
Oh, what fun to sling a web
And take the bad guys down
