Thread Name: Christmas Parodies I
Subject: Lyr Add: THE CHRISTMAS THONG (Jeanene Pratt)
Back in Dec. 2001, Aine had a Song Challenge! concerning an office memo from Richard Branson to the Virgin Mobile staff re expected behavior (and verboten behavior) at the upcoming Christmas party - e.g., banning the practice of xeroxing rumps.    This New Christmas Party Conduct Guidelines generated a veritable spate of irreverent and hilarious compositions. Those that were parodies of Christmas carols or winter songs include these:

The Copied Bummer Boy

Rack Your Balls (Upon The Copier)

The Little Toner Drum Boy

The Office Secretary (Tune: Ding! Dong! Merrily On High

Just Bums Sitting On the Copier

Jolie All Saints Melanie

Give It A Rest, Ye Merry Revelers

This one is probably my favorite of the ones I had submitted: Memo (Re Christmas Office Party)

The Christmas Thong

THE CHRISTMAS THONG
Words:  Jeanene Pratt © 2001
Tune:  The Christmas Song            (Mel Tormé & Robert Wells, 1946)

Chester's perching on the copier; 

Jackson's ripping off his clothes; 

You'll find Carol being done by a buyer,* 

And folks act up like pesky shmoes.

Ev'rybody knows that turkey with his mistletoe 

Guarantees a raunchy time; 

Fanny Scott (hers  already exposed)

Is in the fax-your-fanny line.

 We know there's gonna be horseplay - 
 
We're loaded girls and boys with booty to display. 
 
But Virgin's legal team is gonna spy 
 
For fear that some dear cuts her butt here and cries.

And so they're offering this silly rule:

"You kids, no copies in the nude.

You know it's been said many years, many days,

'Merry Christmas, 
Merry Christmas, 

Merry Christmas-- 
You're sued!'"

*Alternative lines (if the setting is altered a bit): 
   
Jewel's tied Carroll to a hunk from the choir 
   
You'll find Carol being done by the choir. 
   
Jewel's tied Carroll to a bunk by the fire. 
**Alternative line: 
    And Boy George dressed up like a 'ho.'
