As you all know, the first gift in the song is a Partridge in a Pear Tree. I decided to start things off with a bang, and I wrote you a little song instead of a story. To make it even more... interesting... I decided to go ahead and sing it for you, complete with powerpoint illustrations.
So here I present to you my first ever internet karaoke attempt. It's bad, but that's ok. Where else, other than the interwebs, is it ok to humiliate yourself?
And the lyrics, if you'd like to sing along, to the tune of "Blackbird," by The Beatles.
Partridge in a pear tree doing alright
Hanging up some Christmas lights
All the lights
Tried and tried again but they just weren’t getting bright
Partridge in a pear tree staying up all night
Still trying to hang up those Christmas lights
Spent half the night
Only to discover there’s a single burned out light
Burned out light
Burned out light
There is no light in the dark black night
Burned out light
Burned out light
There is no light in the dark black night
Partridge in a pear tree in the middle of the night
Packed it in and threw away the lights
Good-bye lights

If you thought that was bad, I'm sure the other participants have great entries to make you forget all about my warbling.
Would you ever guess that I was in competition choir in high school?

There is no light in the dark black night--that's a great replacement for "Blackbird fly". I bet you thought of that line first. Great rewording.Oh I guess we both had some technical difficulties with getting this going. Your youtube doesn't play - it says it is private so I guess you can't embed a private clip.My first post didn't post automatically because of my inexperience of scheduling posts I forgot to click publish after I set the date and time.
Thanks, I think I fixed it. Going to check out yours now!
ReplyDeleteyeah you fixed it - the clip not those series circuit lights

ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over to check it out. I'm going to add "utterly brilliant" to my profile.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! I'm really excited about the rest of the challenge, can't wait to see all of the other entries.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I had to laugh when you made a comment about Ono ruining The Beatles.
ReplyDeleteNow that was 'original' !!!
ReplyDeleteHa! This was truly inspired! What an original way to approach this challenge.
ReplyDeleteOno did ruin the Beatles. Her and Linda.
