I confess: I LOVE Christmas music! Serious. Secular. Funny. I love ’em all.
This is one of my faves.
I also love writing poetry, especially in the form of song parody.
Today I had some free time, and this happened.
Enjoy. Or laugh. Just don’t blow snot on my computer.
The one and only Graybow, BKA Graybie Baby
.
Graybie Baby
Is laying under the Christmas tree
He sees
A shine bauble and then
Graybie Baby
knocks the Christmas tree on its’ side
Graybie Baby
Chews up all of the tinsel too
Then pukes blue
I was up all night with you
Graybie Baby
You sure know how to do Christmas right *heavy sigh*
Christmas fun is not to be missed
These cats are all in, they’ve amassed quite a list
They calm down when told to be good
Then they’re right back at it; Lord, I am PISSED!
Graybie Baby
When I am mad to my leg he’ll cling
And sing
He says he is a good boy
Graybie Baby
I gotta hand it to ya, you’re right!
I’m a Christmas music crazy too … any and all of them! Love your take on this classic 🙂
Posted by bumpyroadtobubba | December 6, 2016, 6:48 PMI have another one too I’m working on. Did I say I was bored at work today? LOL
Posted by rumpydog | December 6, 2016, 6:50 PMA nice change from your crazy busy days. Good for us too if you keep pumping these tunes out!!
Posted by bumpyroadtobubba | December 6, 2016, 6:51 PMYeah it was this or read auditing principles….. I chose to write poetry.
Posted by rumpydog | December 6, 2016, 6:52 PMI needed a laugh tonight. So, thanks.
Do you have a very favorite piece of Christmas music? If it’s too hard to pick, then two favorites.
Posted by tweed bloxom | December 6, 2016, 7:10 PMOh that’s too hard. I love almost anything by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and I love Handel’s Messiah. And the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies.
Posted by rumpydog | December 6, 2016, 7:15 PMI would have been horribly disappointed had you been able to narrow it down to one.
If you haven’t already, try Monteverdi’s, “Selva morale”-the Gloria in particular. Not Handel, no, but a delight to listen to all the same.
Posted by tweed bloxom | December 6, 2016, 8:27 PMI had not even heard of this collection before! What I know about classical music I’ve learned from encounters with people such as you and by listening to public radio. So thank you. I listened to part of a performance by Concierto de Gabriel Garrido y Ensemble Elyma on YouTube. Do you recommend a particular performance? I will download and listen to it at work. That ought to keep me awake!
Posted by rumpydog | December 7, 2016, 4:40 AMThe performance that you listened to is my favorite by far. Usually, a visual can be distracting but in this case, the audio/visual interplay makes it even more mesmerizing. It’s especially good because the performers present such strong caricatures, as if they were hand-selected expressly for a video recording. Three other single selections to add to your Christmas list, all of which I am sure that you’ve heard: “O Mio Bambino Caro,” “Nessun Dorma,” and “Ombra Mai Fu.” (I have a weakness for Puccini, any time of year. And when I think I’ve cried my last tear because this world has exhausted the reservoir, these last three get me going again. Every time!)
Posted by tweed bloxom | December 7, 2016, 8:02 AMI listened to all 3. Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma -wow!
Posted by rumpydog | December 7, 2016, 6:30 PMMost excellent. I hope you can add one or all to your list of favorites and eventually is soon enough. But you’re right, of course: nothing breathes passion like, “The Messiah.” Brings me to my knees and then some. But there are times when I’d rather stand up and laugh so I will continue to hum your re-write and thank you for it!
Posted by tweed bloxom | December 7, 2016, 8:15 PMLMAO! 😉 xoM
Posted by Margarita | December 6, 2016, 8:05 PMEnjoy Margarita!
Posted by rumpydog | December 7, 2016, 4:40 AMI like the song also and your parody really good. Gotta love them. Mischievous though they are. I had one I just knew was going to be sick sneaking under the tree and drinking its’ water. Whatever it was full of he didn’t mind one bit. 🙂
Posted by Renee Espriu | December 6, 2016, 11:25 PMWow! Hope there’s no preservative chemicals in that tree!
Posted by rumpydog | December 7, 2016, 4:41 AMNope! But even so my thought was that it couldn’t be good because of sap and pine needles. Would never use any kind of a chemical around my pets.

Posted by Cattie's World | December 7, 2016, 1:12 AMOh yes. Well, they at least tolerate each other.

Posted by speedyrabbit | December 8, 2016, 12:19 AMWe’ve bought silly hats for our dogs and cats and are going to try to take pictures - how much blood did you lose? 😀
Posted by Animalcouriers | December 9, 2016, 9:58 AMNone- these were photoshopped. 😀
Posted by rumpydog | December 9, 2016, 11:18 AMHA! Maybe we should go down that road 😀
Posted by Animalcouriers | December 9, 2016, 11:48 AMLove it! I’ve the new kitten - he thinks we are absolutely insane to put this giant toy in the living room. Yes, Lumi, it is ALL FOR YOU.
Even the broom when I sweep up the mess you make 🙂
Posted by heretherebespiders | December 12, 2016, 3:14 PMAh Lumi, wait till the boxes come out!!!
Posted by rumpydog | December 12, 2016, 3:16 PMHe’ll be waiting - not much money for presents this year! But I bring him boxes from work sometimes to play in. And of course, tree-water is the best thing evah.
Posted by heretherebespiders | December 12, 2016, 3:20 PMCats just want the boxes! 🐱🐱🐱
Posted by rumpydog | December 12, 2016, 4:55 PMWoo! That was really great!!!!
