The Countdown continues; Christmas is getting closer! Today I have, not one, but two poems — both “politically correct” parodies of familiar seasonal icons.
The first Way-Back link is a new look at the The Night Before Christmas and Santa’s woes in a consumer-aware world (worse than his woes with physics). The second picks up the next day with The (Politically Correct) Twelve Days of Christmas. (Both are neolithic email “shares” from the ghost of Christmas Past.)
And now fun — and funny — Christmas tunes…
Given the poem, we need to start with the song. We saw the Shrek version earlier; here’s another fun one. The 12 Days of Christmas as styled by Straight No Chaser:
Keeping the vocal theme with the Ladies (Barenaked):
Here’s a selection from The Waitresses that seems somehow appropriate:
We’ll close out with The Brian Setzer Orchestra swinging Jingle Bells:
Today’s bonus music is another a cappella styling from Straight No Chaser:
For forth and spread beauty and light.
