(no subject)

I foolishly promised some friends that if they sent me their favourite variants of well-known songs, I would blog them. I only gave them 24 hours to produce the goods, and most of them aren't in Australia. Thus the sanity of my other friends is saved.

While Shepherds washed their socks by night
All seated round the pot
The Angel of the Lord came down
and nicked the flipping lot.

Alternatively
While Shepherds washed their socks by night
All hanging on the line
The Angel of the Lord came down
and said 'That red pair's mine.'

Or:
'Hark the herald angels sing
Beecham's pills are just the thing
Two for a woman, one for a child
Three for a man to drive him wild.'

Or:
Good King Wince's car backed out
On a piece of Stephen...

And finally:
From (Walking in a) Winter Wonderland...

Later on, we'll perspire
As we sit by the fire

All contributions (fairly obviously) from the northern hemisphere. I suspect if I had given them longer there would be more and it would be funnier, but I didn't feel like opening those floodgates and these people are quite capable of producing never-ending satire.
