David the Jewish Reindeer
Had a very Jewish nose
All of the other reindeer
Used to think of themselves as foes
David the Jewish Reindeer
Kvetched about his daily woes
He couldn’t get no p***y
Even from the reindeer hoes
Then one icy Christmas Eve
Santa screwed it up
Forgot about the holiday
Too much bourbon in his cup
David the Jewish Reindeer
Scratched and scratched his Jewish ‘fro
“Hey, I have the perfect idea.
Let’s put on a blogger show.”
Let’s make it for Jew and Gentile
Black and white, all one voice
So, when it’s time for lovin’
We’ll have a multi-cultural choice
Santa clapped and said, “That’s brilliant.”
Giving him a big wet kiss
If we can elect a black President
Why not have a reindeer with a bris?
All of the reindeer laughed now
Everywhere the bells did ring
Cause it was getting time now for
The Christmahanukwanzaakah Blogger Online Holiday Sing!
PAST SHOWS:
The 2006 Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert
The 2007 Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert
The 2008 Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert will be on December 23, 2008.
It is simple. You record a song or video and email it to me before the concert day. Your kids can sing along with you, BUT you — the blogger — must sing along or play an instrument. We want to be impressed by YOU, not by the daughter you are forcing to take piano lessons against her will.
Poetry, story readings, and interpretative dance performances are also permitted.
Just so everyone doesn’t do the same Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa song, please sign up on the list below, stating your song, if you have decided on one. Of course, there will be duplicates, but let’s try not to have ten “Silent Nights.”
For those too wimpy to sing, please send me a favorite holiday photo so we can decorate the blog post that day.
Be of Good Cheer!
OK, enough promotional stuff for one weekend. Sorry about that. It’s part of the job.
Back to blogging tomorrow.
If I can put my head around finishing it, I’ll do an original Xmas song. If not, I’ll perform “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.”
If we’re allowed to do 2, I’ll do both those.
Ok. I’ll do “White Christmas”.
Because every fucking white dude thinks he’s Bing Crosby come Christmas time.
Okay, I’m signing up in representation of all my fellow Tarians. I’ll be submitting a non-denominational, non-religious, generically celebratory song of a moderately festive nature.
My schedule is insane between now and Christmas, but I’d really like to participate again. No idea what I’m going to do yet …
Has anyone signed up for The Little Drummer Boy yet?
Or do you want me to do something from “The Messiah”?
I’m in.
But I’m warning everyone that they should play the video at the lowest volume possible or dogs everywhere will not be happy.
Let me clarify that reply…
I’m in for one verse. And One verse only.
I’ve been psyching myself up for singing “Coventry Carol” for this. Just now, I’ve lost my voice. I may or may not let that stop me.
