Oh yeah! 
Beck Hansen did it: he tackled "Little Drummer Boy", turning it into the cheeky track one can hope from the title alone. I'd actually say more: it has to be heard to be believed!
This was originally out in a 1996 Geffen compilation called Just Say Noël, which also included gems like Sonic Youth taking on Martin Mull's "Santa Doesn't Cop Out On Dope", The Roots mucking with De La Soul's "Millie Pulled A Pistol On Santa", among other stuff by such alt.rock/indie luminaries as The Posies, Elastica, XTC, Remy Zero or Southern Culture on the Skids. Quite a curio, this record.
