Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:

Song Name	Comments & Submitter Name
"Carol Of The Bells"	"Christmas is here, bringing good cheer...", "Ding, dong, ding, dong...".(usually accompanied by Christmas bells). - Santa
"Coventry Carol"	Also known by its first line, "Bye-bye, thou little tiny child". The title "Coventry Carol" is nowhere in the lyrics. - Donna Rand Blitzen
"The Angels' Song"	"The Angels' Song" is in fact the original title given the song by its author, Edmund H. Sears, But today possibly few even know it by that title. It has become generally known by its first line, "It came upon the midnight clear". - Thessaly Danes
"America"	Opening and best know line is "My country, 'tis of thee". In fact, that is often parenthetically attached to the title, most likely to distinguish it from "America The Beautiful" another song that also might be thought of as "America" and which DOES have "America" in the title. - Thessaly Danes
"Battle Hymn Of The Republic"	"Mine eyes have seen the glory" (opening line) or "Glory, glory, Hallelujah" (opens each chorus) could either be the best know lyrics. The title certainly isn't in the lyrics. - Thessaly Danes

Song Parody Fragments:

Funny Lyrics:

"Holly Jolly Christmas" The Funny Lyrics: Have a cup of cheer Why They're Funny: It sounds like this song is encouraging people to drink laundry detergent. Submitted by: Cryptic Wizard

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Happy Birthday to You" The Repetitive Lyrics: Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear [fill in], Happy birthday to you. Why They're Repetitive: Is this really the best we can do for a song to be sung over and over for decades? Submitted by: Kathy

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Yankee Doodle" The Nonsensical Lyrics: Yankee Doodle went to town, Riding on a pony. Stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni. Why They're Nonsensical: Whoever heard of sticking a feather in your hat and calling it macaroni? That doesn't make any sense! Submitted by: Poralee Rhodes	"I Saw Three Ships" The Nonsensical Lyrics: Pray whither sailed those ships all three On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day? Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas Day in the morning! Why They're Nonsensical: Bethlehem is not a seaport, nor is it situated on any navigable rivers! Submitted by: Melanie Bianca Green
There are additional Traditional nonsensical lyrics available.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Silent Night" The Misrhymed Lyrics: Silent night! Holy night! Why They're Misrhymed: Night doesn't rhyme with istelf! Submitted by: 50 Cent	"Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho" The Misrhymed Lyrics: You can talk about your kings of Gideon You can talk about your men of Saul But there's none like good old Joshua And the battle of Jericho Why They're Misrhymed: I hat to say this about a revered religious song like this, but...'Saul' and 'Jericho' don't rhyme Submitted by: Doug Montgomery

Insulting Lyrics:

"Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" The Insulting Lyrics: As for me, my little brain Isn't very bright. Choose for me, dear Santa Claus, What you think is right. Why They're Insulting: If self-insults count, these lyrics are insulting indeed. The narrator throughout is self-denigrating to some extent, telling Santa to identify his / her stocking by its being the shortest one, and attributing to his / her (presumably older) siblings clearer thoughts of what that want for Christmas, certainly self-effacing coming from one who also says 'my little brain isn't very bright'. Wonder what person would plant such self-deprecating thoughts into a poor kid's mind? Submitted by: Stephanie Craddock

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"White Christmas [in sometimes included intro]" The Inappropriate Lyrics: There's never been such a day In Beverly Hills, LA. Why They're Inappropriate: 'Beverly Hills, LA' is in the form of a [city],[state] address. In such a form, 'LA' is the abbreviation for Louisiana. But I very seriously doubt that the song means to refer to Beverly Hills, Louisiana, even if there is such a place. Submitted by: Regina Olsen

"In My Merry Oldsmobile" The Inappropriate Lyrics: You can go as far as you like with me In My Merry Oldsmobile. Why They're Inappropriate: Wasn't this song written when it was more likely that the guy's footprints would be found upside down on the dashboard of a horse-drawn buggy? Maybe I should get my mind out of the gutter. :D Submitted by: Doug Montgomery

There are additional Traditional inappropriate lyrics available.

Dated Lyrics:

"Deck the Halls" The Dated Lyrics: Don we now our gay apparel Why They're Dated: "Gay apparel" originally meant "cheerful clothes." Modern day "gay apparel" conjures up something completely different. Submitted by: Psycho Librarian

Song Lyrics That Mention Brand Name Products:

"Take Me Out To The Ball Game" The Lyrics: Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks I don't care if I ever get back Product Brand Name: Cracker Jacks Submitted by: oldtimer

There are additional Traditional spelling lyrics available.

Boasts in Song Lyrics:

"The United States Marines' Hymn" The Boasting Lyrics: If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven's scenes, They will find the streets are guarded by The United States Marines. Comments: I'm a patriotic American (in case anyone should question it), But that doesn't mean I can't identify boasting when I see it. And THESE LINES are boasting! Submitted by: Sheila Evans

Scary Song Lyrics:

"Do You Hear What I Hear?" The Lyrics: A child, a child, shivers in the cold. Let us bring him silver and gold. Why: Someone speaks of a child suffering in the cold, and then all they can think of to bring him are two of the best known conductors of heat, which could only conduct more heat away from him! He needs, on the other hand, something insulating, like blankets! Submitted by: Adrienne Ramseur

The Herald Angels Sing" The Lyrics: With th'angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem". Why: The unconventional contraction "th'angelic", for "the angelic", is used to make the line fit the song's meter. Submitted by: Mark Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"Poor Howard" The Lyrics: Poor Howard's dead and gone. Left us here to sing this song. Why: I listened to this song a lot as a child, and I liked it for its bouncy, upbeat feel, then I realized that the lyrics aren't very uplifting. Unless, of course, we are supposed to be happy that Howard is dead... but I don't think so. Submitted by: Raphael

"Frosty The Snowman" The Lyrics: Frosty the Snowman Knew the Sun was hot that day. So he said "Let's run and we'll have som fun Now, before I melt away. Why: Melody-wise, this is an updeat Christmas standard. But when I was a child, few songs made me cry so much. The thought of a snowman that magically came alive, but only to have to say let's hurry to have fun because he'd melt away soon, was about one of the saddest impositions upon the otherwise cheery season that I could imagine. I utterly dreaded the thought of having to hear this "Christmas song"! Submitted by: Jamie Burke
