Sure fire way to make a fortune and never have to work again.

[BurtWorm]

Write a Christmas song hit. Ok, admittedly, the hit part may be somewhat difficult, but how hard can it be to work "bells," "jingle," and "snow" into a song and have it sell like crazy? I can think of at least a dozen that use one or more of those words and that radio stations are forced to play every year over and over and over and over. And if you wait long enough, someone else will cover the original and then you'll start getting royalties off of two versions of a song that gets played over and over and over on hundreds or thousands of radio stations worldwide from October 31st on.

Maybe we should all collaborate on such a song here and split the royalties? Anyone game?

1. Given popular taste these days I'm not sure bells, jingle and

snow need to be in the lyrics. Blitzen, eggnog and a cheatin' heart may be all it takes.

[Debi]

2. Blitzen drank all the eggnog and broke my cheatin heart...

Now I'm gonna wrap all that jingles up in snow and throw it at his bells...

Bet he sreams an hollers, and his antlers fall apart.

But that's what he gets for playing reindeer games.

Now he's goin to hell....

no, please, no more applause

Great job.

7. ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME????

During this holiday season???? :cry:

YOU BASTARD!!!! :cry:

[BurtWorm]

13. Oh, no, no! Not at all!

:evilfrown:

(Between me and you, you've more song-writing talent than kdusa. But we have to work "furry furry furry"--or was it "flurry flurry flurry?"--into it. Maybe he won't find out.)

PS: Or she.

3. Her's mine

Give me bells
Give me bells
Ringa dinga dinga

Give me snow
Give me show
Flurry flurry flurry


Give me Santa on a sleigh
Give me peace on Christmas Day

Give me bells, give me bells, give me bells.


Now, even if none of my stuff makes it into the song, you owe me money, as part of the team.

[Debi]

8. I'll buy it!

And sing along with the radio!

9. Pardon my spelling. Should be "Heir's mine"

[Courtesy Flush]

10. or "Hair mine"

[Courtesy Flush]

11. or "Hermine"

[Courtesy Flush]

12. Or "Harmon Kardon"

[Streetdoc270]

4. I'm gonna write a book...

Titled 'How to get rich in 30 days' and in this wonderful, knowledge-filled tomb will be the words "Write a book telling everyone they can get rich in 30 days and sell it for 19.95 on E-Bay"

:)

[BurtWorm]

6. Shit. Wish I'd thought of that.

14. A good idea

Incorporate it with my idea and a lot of us will be able to retire.

I live across the street from a Christian elementary school. There are just streams of SUV's in and out of this facility all day. When they pull up to the end of the school drive and stop, they look directly at my window. If we could somehow put an image of the Virgin Mary in my window, they'd be coming for miles to view it. We could charge $25 a person for them to come in and view, say a little prayer, whatever. We could play BurtWorm's Christmas song to enhance the euphoric atmosphere of the whole experience. What do you think? I know, I'm evil, but why can't we profit from this religious madness?

[Tsiyu]

15. Why yes!

Maybe you could do one in that fake snow spray?

We could record a CD of BurtWorm's song and sell copies. The CD cover art would, of course, feature a photo of the Danocrat Madonna.

And here's a song about her...

"Madonna in the window
with that winsome smile
You know your baby daddy
gave you a special child

Madonna in the window
All fundies now shall see
of all the houses on the street
you came to visit me

Chorus: I'll never wash that window
Even if it smears.
So you will still be with me
At Christmas time next year."

[Blue in a Red State]

16. My entry, sung to the tune of Silver Bells

Urban highways
Exburb highways
Traffic slows to a crawl
In the air
There's a feeling of road rage

People carping
People harping
As they shop at the mall
And above all the discord you hear:

Discount price
Aisle Five
Just a few days 'til it's Christmas
Get 'em now
While they're hot
Don't let them down Christmas day.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Bah. Humbug.

[stopbush]

17. Here's an easier way...

Just take any standard religious hymn or Xmas carol, and insert the name "bush" every time you see the words "lord," "Jesus," "Christ" or "God." You can also do variations and combinations:

"O, come let us adore him, Bush our Lord."

The fundies would buy millions of copies...

[goodboy]

18. my dad's been after me to do that since I began playing piano 20 years ago

still, I haven't begun to procrastinate.
