Damn you! I'm going to have that tune in my head for the rest of the day now. Beats Mariah I suppose :)

... and that, dear students, is how modern day medicine has killed age old tradition.

Good one - didn't realise you had such a talent for re-writing lyrics. Just sorry you have another year to go. When I rule the world things will be very different.

Chaos said...

Very nice, quite festive. You have quite a talent my friend.

Now THAT puts me in the holiday spirit! You may have a future as a blunt carol writer. Your next one could be "No, Virginia. What are you? Stupid?" or "Rudolph The Red Pepper Encrusted Venison Platter"

Horse Chick said...

I love the new song lyrics and your creativity, except when I listen to them and realize the hell you guys have been through in the past 24 mos. Then I'm sad for two. Although
I really think you may have a future in (at least American) stand up comedy. Your new lyrics remind me of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song.

p.s. I really hope 2009 is nicer to you (& especially ET) then 2007 & 2008 has been and brings you the baby you and ET so deserve!

Susanica said...

Fabulous! You slay me X-box. Such a clever lad. But I hope that next Christmas you'll be making up lyrics along the lines of "Not So Silent a Night What With Jr. Waking Us Up Every Two Hours". Something like that.

Merry Christmas to you and ET. -Monica

Russ said...

How long did it take you to come up with that ditty? Thanks for the good laugh.

You are insane and I love it.

We should release our versions as a double a side.

Ms. Moon said...

That was brilliant. Hey. If you can't laugh, what's the point? All humor stems from the deep darkness and our desire to reach for light.
Keep shaggin', keep singin', keep believing.

Kori said...

A catchy tune, but I somehow don't see it catching on. Just sayin'.

Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing] said...

Can this be a vid post? Puhlease?

TWO pairs of baggy boxers? Who got the third???? Everyone knows they come in packs of three. Are they the ones that let Stephen and the Twins jingle jangle all the way?

Bwahahahahahaha ohhh hahahahaha hee hee hee hee heh heh heh. Fabulous.

See, that's where you're going wrong. Just the one shag a month.

Sorry. Don't hit me.

Julie said...

the fifth month was my favorite, it reminded me of your descriptions of walking around with that little paper bag of goodness...

Mr Lady said...

Dildo cam? BRILLIANT.

People in the Sun said...

"Nine days of post-op abstinence"

Where I live they don't call nine days without sex "Abstinence." They call them, "Honey, that's okay. You go to sleep. I'm going to stay online for a while."

ROFL! I'd hate to see what you do with Oh Christmas Tree!

James (SeattleDad) said...

I am sorry to say that your pain cracks me up this time. Funny post X.

Tara R. said...

Oh great! Now, I'm going to have this stinkin' song running through my head all day. (I really hope you both get something special under your tree this season.)

Veronica Foale said...

Am singing the song now, hehe.

Momo Fali said...

If carolers come to my door singing this, I may faint.

Liz said...

That's a lovely baritone you've got there.

Like a melancholy musician, through your pain comes brilliance.

This is a classic! I will never hear this song without thinking of the new lyrics.
Ahhhh the memories of fertility clinics. This song brings it all back.
What joy.
What bliss.

This is your year. I just know it!
