Rewriting the carols

To celebrate this joyful time of year, I thought it would be nice to rewrite some of the famous carols to give atheists a chance to join in the singing with words of their own. To kick off, here's my version of "Silent Night."

Christmas Eve, at the mall
Tempers fray, children squall.
Santa’s drunk and the elves are on crack,
Credit cards charged up to the max,
Jesus Christ on their brains,
Jesus Christ they’re insane.

Oh won't you fuck off?

And if you keep on singing,
I'll call the fucking cops.

Oh why can't you see?

Your annoying singing
Bugs the shit out of me.

The Megachurch Carol

The Megachurch Carol

Oh come all ye fuckwits.
Come and join the groupthink.
Oh pay up, oh pay up, to buy us more stuff.
Bring all your money,
But leave your brains at home.

Oh come and give us more cash.
Oh come and give us more cash.
Oh come and give us more cash.
It’s never enough.

To the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

Zorboff the tiny green spaceman
Hovers in his U-F-O.
Looking down upon the Earthlings
As they scurry to and fro.

He commands the space armada
Sent to wipe the planet clean
But now he has a better game plan
Because of something he's just seen.

Christians, Muslims, ISIS, Jews.
See the wars they wage.
Zorboff thinks, "Why waste my might?
Let the stupid fuckers fight."

So he tells his fleet of spaceships,
"We're returning to our galaxy.
Because at the rate they're going,
Soon they'll do the job for meeeeeee...!"

Hey, speaking of Christmas

Hey, speaking of Christmas songs, has anybody else ever noticed that "Baby It's Cold Outside" is like the ultimate Christmas date-rape song?

Silent nights,

Silent nights,
that's what we want,
all in calm, all are bright,
round old Trumpie

silly infant so offender and wild:
Impeach so the world gets some peace.
Impeach, please, the world needs some peace.

To the tune of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

Oh stains on my undies
Yellow, brown, and crusty!
Perhaps I should wash them,
The smell does offend!

I hate doing laundry!
One more week won't matter.

Oh, no, I feel a burning!
An itching and a burning!
Oh why is there such burning

Aa-rou-ooound my grooooin...?

That sounds like the children

That sounds like the children of the world doing there thing. That`s why we need an avenue of change in these kind of lifestyles. And the church gives us that solace. That peace from the rustle and bustle of this hectic season. We need something to get us from fear and anxiety to mellow and only God could do that my friend.

Apparently, your "church" didn't teach you English. There, their, and they're, are three different terms. Maybe you should LEARN THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE because everytime you post you appear to be a MORON!
Also, your statement is nonsensical since the statement is "god fearing".
The avenue of change the world needs is eliminating religious brainwashing.

To the tune of "Merry Christmas to You" in the voice of Frank Sinatra

Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire
As she sips her wine of white
Splattered red spots on her dress all aglow
That she will have to clean tonight

Ever since she caught him cheating with that dirty skank
Vengeance smoldered in her eyes
She readied her trap, and lured him to her lair
And sprang it on him in surprise

She knows the cops are on their way
But she hid the body well, so that's okay
And when they question her, she'll start to cry
And beg and plead for them to please find her guy.

But now she's busy planning other things
Since there's just one down out of two
That dirty bitch whore, she won't cheat anymore
She'll make her cry, "Booooo-hooooooo..."

And there were shepherds

And there were shepherds living in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. The Angel said, "do not be afraid I bring you good news, that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

@He Suffered

Hey there! Welcome! Feel free to jump in and start singing along. I feel I must warn you, though. I am horribly tone-deaf, so my singing has been known to peel paint off walls. Still, it's all good fun. (All the same, though, you really might want to invest in some ear plugs.)

Generations of bored schoolkids have composed alternative lyrics to those sickly sentimental hymns about those sheep-shaggers and their flocks.

And verily it is written that the religion created on that night two millennia ago has been preying on the poor and uneducated ever since.

These days when believers

These days when Christians turn to their particular deity to thank for their good things in their lifes, there's nothing more pleasurable than listening to Minchin. Here's his wonderful "Thank you, God": www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yqGSwE7uNk

I hope you all enjoy it.

P.S. Much better than rearranged carols.
