12 Days of Bad Christmas Parodies

Now I have no data to back this up, but I believe the 12 Days of Christmas is the most parodied Christmas song around. And why not? A list that grows one item longer each time you sing has great comedic potential. Though there are some good parodies out there, (Straight No Chaser anyone?) a lot of them are mediocre and nearly as boring as the original. So, I took it upon myself to pen a parody propounding my pet peeves of the parodies' problems. Enjoy. (And feel free to skip to the last verse so save all the repetitions.)

Twelve Days of Christmas Parodies
By Melody Beerbower 

On the first day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
A headache that won't leave me be. 

On the second day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Two hours of singing
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the third day of Christmas
Bad parodies game to me
Three clever lines 
Two hours of singing
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the fourth day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me 
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Two hours of singing
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the fifth day of Christmas 
Bad parodies gave to me
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the sixth day of Christmas 
Bad parodies gave to me
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the seventh day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the Eighth day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Eight phrases in awkward timing 
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the ninth day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Nine ambiguous numbers 
Eight phrases in awkward timing 
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the tenth day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Ten missing rhymes
Nine ambiguous numbers 
Eight phrases in awkward timing 
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the eleventh day of Christmas
Bad parodies gave to me
Eleven bad recordings
Ten missing rhymes
Nine ambiguous numbers 
Eight phrases in awkward timing 
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be. 

On the twelfth day of Christmas 
Bad parodies gave to me 
Twelve boring repetitions
Eleven bad recordings
Ten missing rhymes
Nine ambiguous numbers 
Eight phrases in awkward timing 
Seven amateur writers 
Six off-tune notes 
Fiiiiiive ex-tra syllables that make you talk really fast to fit them all in
Four laughing friends
Three clever lines 
Too bad it's not done
And a headache that won't leave me be.

A Little More Christmas Cheer

It is hard to find the time to post things when eight other people need (or want) to use the computer.  Since most of the people are older than I, or going to do something more important (school) I usually have to yield my spot.

This next song I am posting now, before Christmas gets to far away and I feel guilty posting a 'Christmasy' song.

Ring Those Bells
By Melody Beerbower, Nov. 18, 2011
Tune: Jingle Bells

I stand outside the store,
A Santa hat on my head.
A bucket hangs beside me
Painted cherry red.
I ring my little bell,
Hoping someone stops,
And instead of giving dirty looks
Some money in my bucket drops.


Oh, ring the bells, ring the bells
Ring them all day long.
You may think that it's easy standing here,
But the wind it very strong.
Oh, ring the bells, ring the bells,
Ring them all the day.
I wish I had a big fur coat
And drove a shining sleigh.


My ears are growing numb.
I cannot feel my toes.
No one has a dime to spare,
And the store's about to close.
Next time I'll wait in the front,
And stand on that cement,
Because by the time the people exit
Their money has been spent.


Oh, ring those bells, ring those bells,
Ring them all day long
I hope you give me some money
When you hear my little song.
Oh, ring those bells, ring those bells,
I've got one more thing to say,
I wish you Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Years Day!

It hasn't even snowed yet, so I think I'm safe posting this :)
