A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MUSIC

Guest Poster Tina of We Swear wants to re-title some Christmas songs.

Which reminds me of what I did to Holly Jolly Christmas last year. I was debating re-posting it, but it IS a holiday classic so what the hell...



I mentioned previously that I'm just a wee bit tired of Christmas music at the bank.

Well, it seems that everybody's favorite chubby, squinty-eyed, folk-singer/snowman, Burl Ives, belted out one too many verses of "Holly Jolly Christmas" and the tenuous thread by which my sanity was hanging snapped like a beatnick's fingers.

Consequently, I was inspired to turn this cheerful little holiday ditty into something dark and twisted. I've placed it in the extended entry to protect those less Grinched-out than myself.

Here's a midi file if you want to sing along. Ignore the 5 second intro and quit after about 51 seconds, unless you want to repeat some verses.



DRUNKEN F***IN' CHRISTMAS

Have a drunken f***in' Christmas
Swill another keg of beer.
Yes I know, that up you'll throw
Just please don't do it here.

Have a drunken f***in' Christmas
Punching cops out on the street.
Go to jail, call me for bail
Ain't that a f***in' treat?

Oh no! You drank Stern-o!
Went blind and now can't see.
You're lucky if you'll live through this
*shrug* Leaves more booze for me.

Have a drunken f***in' Christmas
As you stumble far and near
Ya blottoed skunk have a drunk-
en f***in' Christmas this year!
