Thread Name: songs about the Three Kings
Subject: RE: wanted: songs about the Three Kings
Parodies are to poetry what graffiti is to architecture

Oh, oh - one of the best parodies of starsinger“s songs is by Johann W. Goethe [the most famous German poet].
(Over here three singers with a star go from house to house singing and signing the doors with a blessing on Jan 6 = Epiphanias, collecting goodies for themselves and money for the poor).

Just probe of a stanza:

We holy three kings are coming here,
We are just three and never four.
And if to us three a fourth king were,
So were a holy threeking more.

Found it always funny
