...and I think I'm going to stop now before Crank yanks my ID.

Yes, I'm bored, but I got tired of seeing QOH's copies. |

Having a bumpy night? :D |

Having a rotten day is more like it. I'm becoming emotionally unglued with all those Xmas carols on the radio. I seem to be more on edge lately and little things are setting me off.

try checking out a CD by Mojo Nixon and the Toadliquors called "Horny Holidays".
that will completely change your take on Christmas Carols.

Alright alright alright!!! STOOOOP IT!!!
Must be the beginnings of menopause, though, because I was driving along this afternoon and during the "Christmas Wrapping Hour" on the radio one of the songs was some boy's choir doing "A Christmas Cannon"(sp?) and I just started weeping at the beauty of it.
I'm a spaz. I know. But I really don't want to go to bed with "gramma got run over by a reindeer" or the "jinglebell dogs" or "cats". :p |

PA-RUM-PA-PUM-PUM...
Isn't it strange that a Church is s'posed to be such a peaceful place but they give stuff names like "cannon" and "missle" and "bulletins".
Then they make you sit in a thing called "pew". |

For a change of pace from the old Bing Crosby etc. Check out (if you haven't already) Trans-Siberian Orchestra or my fav Mannheim Steamroller.
Also, LL, if you want a voice that'll bring tears, Josh Groban. This boy's gonna be the 4th tenor. Amazing. |

I just heard Josh sing the other day on the way home from work - beautiful - I have to get a CD of his |

I was on the phone the other night and Ed was channel surfing. He settled on PBS and the voice stopped my conversation. It was Josh in concert. WOW!
His rendition of O Holy Night is wonderful. Hard to believe he's only like 21.

That's the one I heard - O Holy Night - brought tears to my eyes - I loved the song already better than Silent Night - and then I heard him sing it - pure heaven! |

I like "Christmas at Ground Zero" by Weird Al

I love Springsteen's Santa Claus is Comming to Town too. I also like the quirky novelty songs (unless they are consist of barking or meowing)
Some oldies my Mom taught me (and get this...We're Jewish..hee hee) were 'All I want to Christmas is My Two Front Teeth' and 'Little Christmas Stocking with the Whole in the Toe'.
My favorite 'traditional' Christmas song is 'Carol of the Bells'. I feel in love with it when we sang it in choir in Jr. High School. |

That Josh has an amazing voice, and I usually am not into that kind of music. |

Check him out if you wish. They have sound bites on there that are actually the full song.
He's pretty classical, but does have a few more contemporary numbers too. It's the voice though. WOW!
Edited to add:
I just spent some time on that site, and while you can still get a taste of Josh's music, it seems the link to hear the whole album as well as a couple of others aren't working today (or at least not for me) Sorry bout that. You can still here 'the voice' though.

Well, my sister came to the rescue last night with Mr. Garrison's Christmas song from South Park. If you've never heard it, I challenge you to listen to it and NOT get it stuck in your head. It goes something like "Hello Mr. Buddhist, Merry Fucking' Christmas".
Yeah.
I...ah...think that's the last time I'll tell her that some Xmas songs make me cry. Nope. I don't want that in my head again. Thanks anyway. |

The most touching song on that album is Cartman's ode to a Swiss Colony beef log. I cry every time I hear it. And, of course, the Mr. Hankey theme song:
Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo
Small and brown, he comes from you
Sit on the toilet here he comes
Squeezing 'tween your festive buns
A present from down below
Spreading joy with a "Howdy Ho"
He's seen the love inside of you
'Cause he's a piece of poo! |
|
|
| Lunarlady |
...oh yay...just what you all wanted: lyrics.
********************
Mr. Garrison: Ok children, let's take our seats. Today we're gonna learn how different cultures around the world celebrate the holiday seaons.
(class groans)
Mr. Garrison: Now pay attention.
(music)
Mr. Garrison:(singing)
I heard there is no Christmas
in the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus
They have different religious beliefs.
They believe in Mohammed
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and saaaaay,
"Hey there Mr. Muslim
Merry fucking Christmas!
Put down that book the Koran
And hear some holiday wishes.
In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus' birthday,
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and fucking celebrate."
There is no holiday seaon
in India I've heard,
They don't hang up their stockings
And that is just absurd!
They've never read a Christmas story,
They don't know what Rudolph is about
And that is why in Decmeber
I'll go to India and shout,
"Hey there Mr. Hinduist
Merry fucking Christmas!
Drink Egnogg and eat some beef
and pass it to the missus.
In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus' birthday,
So get off your heathen Hindu ass
and fucking celebrate!"
Now I heard that in Japan
Everyone just lives in sin.
The pray to several gods
and put needles in their skin.
On December twenty-fifth
all they do is eat a cake.
And that is why I go to Japan
and walk around and saaaaay,
"Hey there Mr. Shintoist
Merry fucking Christmas!
God is going to kick your ass
You infedilic pagan scum.
In case you haven't noticed
There's festive things to do.
So let's all rejoice for Jesus,
And Merry fucking Christmas to you."
On Christmas day I travel 'round the world and say,
"Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhist, and all you athiests too, Mer-ry Fuck-ing Christ-mas, To You!"
(Mr. Hat claps)
Mr. Garrison: Thank you Mr. Hat. |

yeah, my sister has it and I get to listen to it every year. I think my personal favorites are "The Dradle Song" and Mr. Mackey's rendition of "Hark Hear the Bells" (mm-kay?)
Unfortunately, due to Eric Cartman's rendition of "O Holy Night", I no longer get weepy when I hear the correct version of that song on the radio. Hang on..I think I have the lyrics here somewhere.

I would also suggest, from the same album, "The Most Offensive Song Ever Written".
The title is correct.
If you would like, I would be happy to quote some lyrics, but it really IS offensive.
And hilarious.
The album, for those unaware, is "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics".

Here they are, one favorite (Mr. Mackey's bell song), and Cartman's "O Holy Night" (when he gets presents):
Mr. Mackey’s Hark Hear the Bells.
Mr. Mackey: (singing)
Uh, hark hear the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, ding dong, mkay. Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold. Ding dong, ding dong, that is their song, with joyful ring, all caroling. One seems to hear, words of good cheer, from everywhere, filling the air. Oh how they pound, raising their sound, ‘or here and there, telling their tale. Gaily they ring, while people sing, songs of good cheer, Christmas is here. Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas. Merry, merry, merry , merry Christmas. On, on they send, on without end. Their joyful tone, to every home. Hark hear the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, ding dong, mmkay. On, on they send, on without end. Their joyful tone, to every home. Ding dong, ding dong……mmmmkay. Mkay.
O Holy Night.
Sung by Eric Cartman
(Hills above Bethlehem, Cartman is wearing a tuxedo)
Cartman: (singing)
And…oh holy night. The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear savior’s b-b-birth.
Oh holy night, the…something, something distant.
It is the night with the Christmas trees and pie.
Jesus was born
and so I get presents.
Thank you Jesus for being born.
(Angels singing) Whooooooooh!!!
(Cartman singing) Fall on your knees!
(Angels singing) On your knees!
(Cartman singing) And, hear-
(Angels singing) Can’t you hear?!
(Cartman singing) The angles….something
(Angels singing) Voices!
(Cartman singing) Oh niiiight!
(Angels singing) Oh night!
(Cartman singing) Devine!
(Angels singing) Devine!
(Cartman singing) Oh night, when I get presents!
(Angels singing) Ooohhh!
(Cartman singing) Oh niiight!
(Angels singing) Oh night!
(Cartman singing) DEVINE! Oh night divine |

Ah, one of the Christmas Classics! We have it mixed into our Christmas CD for a refreshing change of pace. I also like the fine rendition we have of "Yellow Snow" |

I like the country version by ? of "I'm getting nothin
for Christmas".
"Mama told me the baby has a soft spot
in his head, but I ain't found it yet."

Don't forget Satan singing "Christmastime in Hell"
For one day we all stop burning
And the flames are not so thick
All the screaming and the torture stops
As we wait for Old St. Nick! |
|
|
| VanBrujah |
And remember:
It starts with Hitler singing "O Tannenbaum" and weeping because he doesn't have a tree.
"There goes Jeffrey Dahmer, with a festive Christmas ham. After he has sex with it he'll eat up all he can!"
Also, look at the guest stars in that one:
Michael Landon
JFK
JFK, Jr
Princess Diana
Gene Siskel
Ghengis Khan
Mao Tse Tung
Jimmy Stewart
It doesn't get much better than that!
