On the Second Day of Christmas...

Happy Second Day of BlogFestivus!



Hope you all enjoyed the little song I put together for you yesterday. Today, I'm treating you to still more fabulous vocal styling. Better yet, this time you get to actually see my smiling face. It's a second Beatles song, with great apologies to Lisleman for playing the part of Yoko Ono this holiday season. I can't help it, the subjects in question have just fit so nicely so far. What subject do we have today? Well, the Two Turtle Doves, of course!

ETA: I'm sad about how this one turned out, because I did a really great recording in my basement, complete with props, only to discover that there was no audio recording. I'll have to work on that. For now, you're stuck with me singing in my (parked) car. You do get a bonus shot of my lap as I struggle to turn the camera off at the end, too.






Two turtle do-oves,
Two turtle do-oves,
Two turtle do-oh-oves

I don’t need another thing, my friend
My space is getting tight
Don't get me any gifts my friend
Make Santa's load real light
I don't need another sweater
I’ve got two turtle doves

Don’t give me fancy soaps, my dear
Or a scarf to wear outside
I don’t need the latest game system,
though the new Droid would be nice
I don’t need another tchotchke,
I’ve got two turtle doves

Two turtle do-oves,
Singing up in my tree
Two turtle do-oves
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Say you won’t buy me anything
And I'll be satisfied
Just share some Christmas cheer with me,
Hey, that would be alright
Cause I don't need no christmas presents
I’ve got two turtle doves

Two turtle do-oves,
Singing up in my tree
Two turtle do-oves
Two turtle do-oh-oves

  1. You're a songwriter singer.  Well ok you did use the Beatle's melody but those words fit very good.  Maybe Weird Al with a better voice and looks.
    You are having fun with this one.

  2. Oh I forgot - thanks for the shout out.   Did you check out any of Yoko's "singing"?

  4. Fantastic. Plus 25 points to House Bean for using tchotchke in a song.
