No, I read an article about Straight No Chaser's comeback a few months ago. The original is by a Princeton choral teacher, and it's beeen bouncing around the a cappella world for years.
"Richard Gregory, 76, now a retired music teacher in Massachusetts, wrote the original comic arrangement of the traditional carol while serving in the Navy in the 1950s. It became a staple of the Princeton Nassoons, and Straight No Chaser added its own funny flavor.) "
Edit: The purpose of my note to self was to remind me to look up more info about the song, which you have already done for me. :) You wouldn't happen to know of sheet music of the arrangement, would you?
