Merry Whatsis!

There are at least two very broad types of traditional holiday carols, namely:

• those that draw upon the Spirit of the holiday to remind people to try to do better (and heal the world, and so on); and
• those that focus on the festive celebration (bells, presents, snow, Santa stuff, and so on).

My earlier carol is of the first, not-festive-go-lucky type. 

This one is more celebratory, then, with a hwimsicore twist derived from my increasing issues with anomic aphasia. I just wondered what would happen if someone were trying to sing a carol like this for an album, but couldn’t retrieve familiar words, such as people’s names, where they started getting “help” from the other people in the studio.

I mean, it’s not like, “🎶Rudolph the Red-Nosed…🎶 uh… crap.. sorry, sorry… what are the..? You know, have-antler-things, sleigh bells, pulls a sleigh… No! Not a malamute! What the hell kind of malamutes have you been… Reindeer! It’s reindeer!”

That said, there’s certainly that element to it.

Here are the lyrics.
