Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Another song which was the product of its time. I can stomach it a little if not played often, but whatever meaning it may (but probably doesn't) hold, is totally lost in rerecordings.
“Hangovers.”
Yeah, me too. Must be because it takes place when “it’s cold outside.”
Da Yoopers!
They also gave us “Rusty Chevrolet.”
Here’s one I love...

As the ACLU, CAIR and others of their ilk spread warm greetings and cheer during this Holiday Season, I think it’s time for some politically INCORRECT Christmas Carols. I’m getting misty-eyed as I compile a list of my favorites while experiencing a warm glow coming over me (I certainly hope it’s not the same kind as Alexander Litvinenko’s). Anyway, let me share a few familiar song titles with you, albeit slightly modified.
1. Infidels, Infidels, it’s jihad time in the city (Silver Bells)
2. Frosty the Imam (Frosty the Snowman), also known as, “Come Fly With Me”
3. Jihadi Tree, O’ Jihadi Tree, there is a Jew behind thee (Christmas Tree)
4. O’ Little Town of Kandahar (O’ Little Town of Bethlehem)
5. Omar, the One-Eyed Mullah (Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer)
6. Deck the Halls With Bombs of Plastique (Deck the Halls)
7. Hark, Harold the Mullah’s Singhing (Hark the Herald Angels)
8. Here Comes Sadr Claus (Here Comes Santa Claus)
9. Away In a Bunker (Away in a Manger)
10. We Wish You a Merry Death Wish (We Wish You a Merry Christmas)
11. No Al Qaeda In Iraq, or Nancy Pelosi’s, I’m Too Sexy For My Shirt (Skin) (all right, it’s not a Christmas Carol – I know)
12. O’ Hillary, O’ Hillary, what happened to Vince Foster? (O Christmas Tree)
13. The Little Bomber Boy (The Little Drummer Boy)
14. I Saw Nancy Kissing Murthra’s Ass (I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus)
15. Slay Ride (Sleigh Ride)
16. O’ Come All Ye Muslims, kill all non-believers (O’ Come All Ye Faithful)
17. All I Want For Christmas Is My I.E.D. (All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth)
18. I’ve Got My (Suicide) Vest to Keep Me Warm (I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm)
19. Alcee Got Run Over By Pelosi (Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer)
20. Iraqin’ Around the Sunni Tree (Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree)
21. Violent Night (Silent Night)
22. People We Have Blown Sky High (Angels We have Heard on High)
Can you feel the love here? I’m thinking about releasing a CD, but will it play in Peoria?
Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
It drags. I think people feel that they are supposed to like because the subject of the words.
Come to think of it, that's probably the same reason that terrible Little Drummer Boy song sticks around.
One of my favorite versions was Michael Crawford's (Phantom of the Opera), but I can't get a copy of it because he sang it live on WPLJ one December morning.
Another song that I really like (particularly when my son plays it on the piano) is "Believe" by Josh Groban. Sure, it's from a movie about believing in Santa Claus, but the meaning can be expanded from there.
“Well, if you’re so damn smart, YOU rig up the lights!”
Another 2 of my favorites!!!
Sweet Jesus! It took a minute just to get past number one on that list. I had to have it start running through my head.
“Da Yoopers!”
Naw, Yogi Jorgensen.
"'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la8!
My alternate lyrics:
War is Over
‘CAUSE WE WON IT
WE have WON it, now...
I have a Christian record album I had converted to cd. I couldn’t find it on the intranet, so I went to my local music store and they put it on cd for me.
It’s the Roger Wagner Chorale....Joy To The World. Perfect Christmas album. I put it on my media player but have NO idea how to pass it along to others!
Can you imagine holding YOUR SAVIOR in your arms? and what were her thoughts?
I have to giggle when I "try" to put myself in her shoes, and that is an impossibility for me, and then I turn to "AWE".
I also love "Silent Night".
