7972. PelleNilsson - 12/7/2005 6:51:50 PM "Klara solen på himmelen den lyser" = "The sun shines bright in the sky".
Of the titles in jex's link that is the one song I don't recall. Odd title too. If there one thing the sun doesn't to at Christmas time here, it is to shine bright in the sky.
I don't know any American or English X-mas songs except the most banal, but I insist that Elvis's Blue Christmas must be included in any list.
Mustn't Stan Freeberg have murdered some X-mas songs at one time or another? 7973. Ms. No - 12/7/2005 10:18:21 PM Wabbit,
Okay, I'm missing the Instrumental disc that has Sugar Rum Cherry on it (and Nutrocker for Manheim Steamroller fans) so if you can find it somewhere else that'll be great. 7974. labwabbit - 12/7/2005 11:48:05 PM "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
Has a bit more significance these days. 7975. jayackroyd - 12/8/2005 12:56:56 AM If "Jethro" is a reference to the Jethro Tull christmas song, I have that. 7976. judithathome - 12/8/2005 1:03:53 AM Somehow, I think the Jethro in question is a little more Southern than Tull. 7977. jayackroyd - 12/8/2005 1:50:54 AM So here are the MFC lyrics, workplace friendly because they're silent:
Mr. Garrison: 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 Muhammad
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and say...
"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's birthday.
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and fucking celebrate.
There is no holiday season 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 December
I'll go to India and shout...
Hey there Mr. Hinduist
Merry fucking Christmas
Drink eggnog and eat some beef
And pass it to the missus.
In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday
So get off your heathen Hindu ass
and fucking celebrate!
Now I heard that in Japan
Everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several gods
And put needles in their skin.
On December 25th
All they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan
And walk around and say...
Hey there Mr. Shintoist
Merry fucking Christmas
God is going to kick your ass
You infidelic pagan scum.
In case you haven't noticed
There's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus
And Merry fucking Christmas to you.
On Christmas day I travel `round the world and say,
Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhists, and all you atheists too,
Merry Fucking Christmas, To You!
(Clapping)
Thank you Mr. hat 7978. wonkers2 - 12/8/2005 2:40:42 AM How about a workplace unfriendly version? It's funnier to hear it than read it. 7979. wabbit - 12/8/2005 3:19:48 AM Mannheim Steamroller did Nutrocker? I thought that was ELO. I'm having no luck finding the Ellington, but it won't break my heart to buy that one.
Good ol' Mr. Garrison. The first time I heard that song, it reminded me of something someone said to me years ago. My sister was having a high school graduation party and a friend was here with his dog, a very nice basenji. One of the party guests spotted the dog and asked if it was a basenji (he was three sheets to the wind by then, but recognized the breed because his mother had had one). When I said it was, he said, "That's a wicked fucking nice dog." The dog, needless to say, is long gone now, but the dog's owner and I laugh about that to this day. I even found him a Christmas card one year that said Have a wicked fucking nice Merry Christmas.
So, have a wicked nice merry fucking Christmas, m'kay? 7980. jayackroyd - 12/8/2005 4:05:41 AM m'kay is, of course, the guidance counselor's (Mr Mackey, I think) particular speech bit. The SP Christmas CD has him singing O Silver Bells, with the m'kay insertion everywhere.
Wicked good as far as I'm concerned.
For those foreigners reading along, "wicked" is an intensifer used in New England. "wicked hard" and "wicked good" are common constructions. "wicked fucking nice" is an especially strong statement.
7981. jexster - 12/8/2005 5:11:46 AM How about the Channuka Song???
In honor of our friends of the Hebrew persuasion..they're keeping Kosher at the WH for Crimmus so I figger it is the least we can do 7982. jexster - 12/8/2005 5:34:27 AM Discover Your White Bread Roots

Adam Sandler's 'The Hanukkah Song Part I'
"Okay... This is a song that uhh.. There's a lot of Christmas songs out there and uhh.. not too many Hanukkah songs. So uhh...I wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who don't get to hear any Hanukkah songs. Here we go..."
Put on your yarmulke,
Here comes Hanukkah!
So much funukah,
To celebrate Hanukkah!

The Christians and the Pagans
by Dar Williams
Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday,
Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay."
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree,
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number three.
He told his niece, "Its Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,"
She said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and its been awhile,"
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.
The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"
His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,
And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "Its true, your cousin's not a Christian,
But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,
And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere,"
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,
Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.
When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, don't bother."
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father.
He thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year,
He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas and your daughter's here."
He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug his sleeve, saying,
"Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "Well discuss it when they leave."
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.

The Twelve Days of Invasion
Lyrics © 2002, Charlie King, Pied Asp Music (BMI)
On the first day of invasion my leader said to me
They're the most dangerous nation in the world
On the second day's invasion my leader said to me
They have weapons of mass destruction;
They're the most dangerous nation in the world
On the third day of invasion my leader said to me
They won't allow inspections;
They have weapons of destruction;
They're the most dangerous nation in the world
On the fourth day of invasion my leader said to me
They didn't sign the biological weapons treaty;
won't allow inspections;
weapons of destruction;
They're the most dangerous nation in the world
On the fifth day of invasion my leader said to me
DEMAND REGIME CHANGE NOW!
didn't sign the treaty;
won't allow inspections;
weapons of destruction;
They're the most dangerous nation in the world
On the sixth - All they want is oil
Seventh - They just can't be trusted
Eighth - They execute their people
Ninth - They helped to train Al Qaeda
Tenth - They invaded other countries
Eleventh - They were not fairly elected
On the twelfth day of invasion my leader said to me
(Spoken)They Plan To Use the Bomb
(Sing) not fairly elected
invaded other countries
helped to train Al Qaeda
execute their people
they just can't be trusted
all they want is oil
DEMAND REGIME CHANGE NOW!
didn't sign the treaty;
won't allow inspections;
weapons of destruction;
And they're the most dangerous nation in the world.
