An Idle Thumbs Christmas Song Proposal

Recommended Posts

I have proposition: I feel like doing something Christmas-related, so here's something that might be fun. An Idle Thumbs community Christmas special!

Here's what I propose: everbody records a short snippet of them singing a measure of "Jingle Bells", replacing the words with something Thumbs-related. Then I take everything, put it to some nice instrumentation, and make a song!

Anybody in?

EDIT: here's a quick little loop, to help singing to the right tempo:

I'd be up for this, just as long as I can do it with some real life friends to hide my voice.

EDIT: Enclosed in these spoiler tags are the full lyrics, so we can possibly write the song and assign before just mishmashing it?

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Don't even ask why I bothered with spoiler tags, I'd sort it out...BUT THERE'S A DOCTOR REQUIRED IN THE SLICER ROOM!!!

I'm thinking more along the lines of...

Oh, The Wizard, The Wizard

He is a magical man,

oh what fun it is to cast

I'm sick right now and still waiting for my new mic to come in, so I'll record something as soon as I can.
