Song parodies are created all the time - whether it is a professional like Weird Al or someone like you and I, just changing words to a song on the radio just for fun...
This particular parody, aptly named "The 12 Days of Grandma", was one of those 'spur-of-the-moment' things.
No real thought put into it - except what amazingly awful presents we could put in the song.
The credit for helping me write this masterpiece...or woeful song (you decide) goes to Musical Challenge Runner-Up 2008 Coby DeMaria and her back up singer Amanda Doyle.
Here are the lyrics to the song we decided to do just for the fun of it:
On the ____ day of Christmas my Grandma gave to me:
- a novelty singing Christmas tree
- 2 knitted scarves
- 3 pearl broaches
- 4 itchy jumpers
- 5 gold fish
- 6 broken crayons
- 7 scented candles
- 8 lacey hankies
- 9 jigsaw puzzles
- 10 tubes of tooth paste
- 11 raffle tickets
- 12 socks and undies
I hope you enjoy singing our crazy verison of the classic Christmas song!
Merry Christmas!
