The songs "Snow Miser" and "Heat Miser" were originally written by Maury Laws and Jules Bass for the 1974 Rankin/Bass stop-motion animated special The Year Without A Santa Claus. In that special, the songs were respectively performed by Dick Shawn as the Snow Miser and George S. Irving as his brother Heat Miser.
The songs were reprised as one song in the 2006 live-action film adaptation, performed by Michael McKean as Snow Miser and Harvey Fierstein in the role of Heat Miser, and reprised again in the 2008 animated sequel A Miser Brothers' Christmas. While Irving reprised his role as Heat Miser in the latter reprise, Canadian voice actor Juan Chorian took over as Snow Miser, due to Dick Shawn having passed away in 1987.
Both songs are included on the album Nick at Nite: A Classic Cartoon Christmas, Too. The Snow Miser's song was also heard in the 1997 movie Batman and Robin as Mr. Freeze (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) attempts to have his minions sing it, so they watch the special and listen to Dick Shawn's version.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Barely Pink and the Swamp Zombies have covered this song.
Lyrics
Snow Miser's version
Snow Miser: I'm Mister White Christmas, I'm Mister Snow.
I'm Mister Icicle; I'm Mister Ten below.
Friends call me Snow Miser, whatever I touch,
turns to snow in my clutch.
I'm too much.
Minions: He's Mister White Christmas, he's Mister Snow.
