Top Sites Tuesday #37 Your Favorite Holiday Music!
Posted by Trina on December 8th, 2009
I really enjoy so many holiday songs! They are all so uplifting and cheery - and we only get to sing them for one month out of the year (well in public anyway)
A favorite song really is hard to choose so I'm choosing 2!
1) I love "Joy to the World" - Not for sentimental reasons though, I love this song because of the modified childhood version. We could never get in trouble for singing it (or humming it). In case you don't know the modified version, here's a little bit:
(to the tune of Joy to the World - press play then read the words)
JOY TO THE WORLD THE TEACHERS ARE DEAD!
We Bar-Be-Qued their heads!
What happened to their bodies?
We flushed them down the potties...
LMAO I can't remember the rest - probably a good thing, I know many of you are teachers so I'm moving on (but there are many versions for this song!)
2) Feliz Navidad - I love the upbeat blend of Spanish and English in this song. In school in the south we learned it and sang it at every Christmas Choir program - not sure they do that song up here because the Spanish influence isn't as strong around here (but it's getting there - Bring on the TEX-MEX restaurants and mariachi bands!)
Happy Tuesday and Merry Christmas!

Joy to the world the teachers are dead and Feliz Navidad … interesting contrast. I would have included Feliz Navidad in my list … if I’d remembered it.

Thanks for stopping by!

You’re such a trip, Trina! I enjoy your sense of humor…that reminds me. When I listened to some of the audio on Blogdumps Video/Audio, I had such a laugh hearing some of the funny holiday songs that are on there. I even played one song loud at work (Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer) because the singer sounded so much like one of the guys there…LOL! He even has the same accent!

Good post, I’ve just started up a blog and in the middle of making somewhat varied articles for it. Do you object if I blog something about this blog? Of course I will provide you and this site due acknowledgment.
