Christmas song

[Scarlett]

I would like to write a new, lush xmas song. All the current ones are about bells, holly and jesus. Then there's Wizard and Mariah. How about a new, really lovely song? In the 70s practically every group issued a xmas album. Nobody seems to anymore!
I can write the tune.. would anyone like to write the lyrics? xxx

[smiffy65]

how about getting as many abers as you can to write a line,get one to start off with then somebody else add another line etc etc till you get the perfect song

[Marvelman]

Thats ok as long as it is muslem friendly, if is not they will get it banned, although we live in the UK, they decide what we can and cannot do in this country of our's.

[Theland]

That's my project - write a cheesy Xmas song that gets played every year, and live off the royalties.
I'm working on the ingredients and the formula.
So far I've got :-
Snow
Tinsel
Bells
Childrens chior
Snowman
Santa
Reindeer
'Twas 'Twas 'Twas
Holly
Mistletoe
Presents
Log Fire
Egg Nog
Crackers
Star In East
Three Wise Men
George Formby

Now I probably need a few more then I can start mixing them into the song pot.

Marvelman, what has that got to do with anything? It's a perfectly nice question about a Cristmas song but somebody just can't resist jumping on the "We hate Muslims" bandwagon. I wish these narrow minded prats would change the record, or take it to a section / thread where someone is interested.

Theland - Egg Nog and Fire (log) rhyme - maybe that is a starting point ;-)

Or "It's that time of year" - rhymes with reindeer.

I'll stand in the background jungling some bells, it's bound to get to number one that way. We can shoot the video wearing fluffy coats and chucking fake snow at eachother, having a grand old time :-)

[natalie_1982]

LOL, jingling not jungling - unless you fancy making a Christmas jungle record? We'd need whistles though, not bells.

[Theland]

You're on!
60 / 40?

[natalie_1982]

Oh, and I am sorry to other peeps for ranting in my previous post. I shouldn't lower myself :-(

[Theland]

Just sign the contract!

[squarebear]

I made this:

Do I win �5?

[natalie_1982]

60/40? I'd have done it for a mince pie!

Scarlett, you might be on to a good thing here :-)

[natalie_1982]

Awww, squarebear, I can't access that stuff at work. I will have a look when I get home :-)

[Theland]

Squarebear - I LOVED that.

[squarebear]

Hehe! Thanks. It's pretty silly but it was fun to do.

[Theland]

My grandkids ( 4 & 6) will love it too.
Can't wait to show them.
Last year their favourite was the house lit up with Xmas lights, the lights dancing to music.

If you're looking for ideas, this is my favourite Christmas song; Bah, Humbug to everything else. x

natalie, i am just saying the truth, if it has upset you tough, and just be carefull who you are calling names , every one has the right to reply , just because you dont like it dont show your ignorance by name calling.if you would like a little session on name calling, i will be pleased to oblige.

fakeman at his best mmmm????

I was under the impression that a lot of muslims in this country were quite pro-christmas. Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet. A very devout muslim colleague of mine does mark Christmas in her own way, even though she doesn't believe Jesus was the messiah or anything like that. and i notice Theland's list is entirely secular.

[starmack]

Gonna do a song - TWO things. The feast you refer celebrates birth of Christ...which is not the same as X. It is offensive to the Christian tradition to substitute X for Christ.

My music taste ranges from Bing Crosby to the Sex Pistols. Favourite Christmas songs include White Christmas by Bing Crosby, Little Drummer Boy by Johnny Cash, Fairytale of New York by Shane McGowan/Pogues with Kirsty McColl and The Rebel Jesus by Jackson Browne with The Chieftains. For a touch of heresy there's always Star of Bethlehem by Neil Young with Emmylou Harris.

[Scarlett]

Starmack- as a Christian, I don't find the X in the least bit offensive. It is just a short hand way of writing Christ- ie- symbol of the cross. Does anyone else find it offensive?
