"Christmas Bills" by Mark Scotti & Q104.3

a parody of "Jingle Bells" by Gene Autry

I wrote this parody over 20 years ago. I use to sing it to my kids, and they said that I should try to publish it. I sent it in to Q104.3, and they produced and played it on the air. I produced the video.

Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Up on the Housetop"

Misheard Lyrics:

Up on the housetop reindeer fall
Down comes could old Santa Clause

Original Lyrics:

Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Nerwen Aldarion

I literally sang the song like this all my life, it never occurred to me that I was singing it wrong until I was in college and in the car with friends around Christmastime and this song came on the radio and I sang along. That resulted in a lot of laughter and the realization that my version of the song resulted in what might be the death of Santa.

Song Parody Fragments:

"Here Comes Santa Claus"

Better Lyrics:

Here comes mad Assad!
Here comes mad Assad!
Making his Cease-Fire claims!
Tanks and artillery inspire fear
as long as Assad reigns
Shias fighting, thousands dying;
All caught in broad daylight
Massacres mounting here and there,
'Cause mad Assad holds on tight!

Original Lyrics:

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Better Lyrics:

Now all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
We love you conditionally!"

Original Lyrics:

Now all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in his-tor-y."

Funniest Song Lyrics:

"Here Comes Santa Claus"

The Funny Lyrics:

So let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Why They're Funny:

This will probably always continue to crack me up every time I hear it. I grew up always being told that there was a strict separation between the two sides of Christmas -- the "light" side (Santa Claus centered) and the "serious" side (any religious meaning), as if "never the twain shall meet". I'm not saying there is necessarily anything wrong with mixing them like in these lyrics -- like at all you want. But still, it runs so contrary to the way I was always taught that I'll probably always have a "knee-jerk" reaction trying to tell me that this is crass in the extreme.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
... But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all

Why They're Nonsensical:

The lyrics assume that the listener knows the other reindeer, but must ask if the listener knows the most famous reindeer? Wouldn't it make more sense to assume you know Rudolph (since his name is in the title of the song), but don't recall Dasher and Dancer... ?
