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.

Can't find a download source for this one either (not that I looked very hard). 7991. Linnea - 12/9/2005 12:29:45 AM http://www.gaudela.net/prior/tapestry_of_carols.html
(did it make a link this time?) 7992. Linnea - 12/9/2005 12:30:19 AM Dang. 7993. wabbit - 12/9/2005 1:06:45 AM I don't see that Charlie King anywhere. Maddy Prior neither, but I'll keep looking, that might be a bit easier.
Meanwhile, here is the not-workplace-safe stream. 7994. wonkers2 - 12/9/2005 2:01:37 AM Cap'n Dirty sez, "Thanks, matey!" 7995. jayackroyd - 12/9/2005 4:05:37 AM That's a hilarious collection. I'll be happy to burn cds for anyone who wants them if you send me the mp3s. 7996. wonkers2 - 12/9/2005 4:09:17 AM Cap'n Dirty sez, "Put me on the list for a CD!" 7997. alistairconnor - 12/9/2005 10:28:00 AM Ooh arrr, yes I'll have some Maddy Prior if you've got some. 7998. wabbit - 12/9/2005 3:56:01 PM I'm not finding any Maddy Prior anywhere either, sorry.
Jay, email has been sent. 7999. Ulgine Barrows - 12/10/2005 9:06:35 AM I can't get into the holiday spirit until I've listened to Twisted Christmas by Bob Rivers Comedy Corp.
My favorite is "The Twelve Pains Of Christmas" and doubly so, since this year our pre-lit tree on the twirling stand bombed out. We don't have a tree yet and it's the 10th. EEEEk.
The Twelve Pains Of Christmas
The Chimney Song
We Wish You Weren't Living With Us
Wreck The Malls
A Visit Form St. Nicholson
O Come All Ye Grateful Dead-Heads
I'm Dressin' Up Like Santa (When I Get Out On Parole)
The Restroom Door Said, "Gentlemen"
Foreigners
Joy To The World
A Message From The King
You're all totally wrong on U2, Atchung Baby is their finest work.
Comparable to Beatles' Rubber Soul in the progression of a band.
The earlier stuff, Boy & War, is also good & raw.
uzmakk, Bono's right, they'll be remembererd for their music, not the activism. 8000. arkymalarky - 12/10/2005 8:31:35 PM Bro sent me a link last year to the Cable Guy's Christmas carols that was hilarious, but I can't find it now.
