This was posted by Chefann over in the joke thread - it seems appropriate here for some reason.Just got this from a friend.The First Christmas Joke of the Season!Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates."In honor of this holy season" Saint Peter said,"You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said."You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates".The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"The man replied, "These are Carol's."

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I think someone was googling carol quizes.

 

[raebates]

I got it, I got it, I got it!

And I'm not telling!











Hint: Roll over, Beethoven!

Sounds like you got it, KG

As for the other quizzes, I got all of them. However, I do these all the time, so I'm pretty familiar with the various incarnations.

 

[Stampaholic1961]

I think someone was googling carol quizes.

Who, me?!

You caught me!!

 

[stacywhitlow]

The apartment of two psychiatrists????


This one took me a while, too. Give it a little more thought.

Please tell me. The only thing I come up with is...Up on the Housetop.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Clue, too.
[singing]
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news!"
[/singing]

 

[chefann]

I have wasted too much time thinking about that one. And I'll probably have a smack-the-forehead moment when the answer's posted.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

[singing]
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven...
[/singing]Well, it isn't exactly a Christmas carol but it is considered music of the season.[singing]
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news!"
[/singing]

 

[chefann]

Actually, many of the items on the list aren't strictly carols. Carols are religious songs.And your hint helps me not. Not one bit.

 

[Stampaholic1961]

This is just nutty!!! (I wouldn't know except that I cheated & looked it up!!) My comment above is a hint if I looked at the right answers!!

[/singing]

Weren't you the music major?

[singing]
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news!"
[/singing]

 

[chefann]

OK- fine. I was looking for Christmas songs by Chuck Berry.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Where is Herr Drosselmeyer when you need him?

 

[chefann]

<giggle>
There's a cool version of the 12 Days of Christmas called "A Musicological Journey Through the 12 Days of Christmas" that uses that piece as the tune for 9 Ladies Dancing.The verses are all cool, though. 7 swans is based on The Swan by Saint-Saens; 8 maids is Ride of the Valkyrie; 12 drummers is a Sousa march. And they're all in chronological order. (It's a music geek thing.)

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I'd love to hear that one because, like my father before me, I just HATE the 12 Days of Christmas. Maybe I'm just sick of it after being subjected to all the creative variations of it for so many years. YUK!So, I love the parodies. My favorites have been by Allen Sherman, the Muppets, and one that I can't identify the group that made it but I love it anyway. All through the performance, a delivery guy shows up at the door, at the appropriate time, with the named gift for one of the chorus members.By the end of the song, the studio is full of cackling hens, squawking fowl, tap dancing sound effects, drummers drumming, milk squirting into pails with mooing cows and a conductor on the edge of insanity.Best line: The delivery man comes in with the three French hens and says, "Da plot thickens with a shipment of chickens!"

 

[chefann]

There's a recording of it by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I've got it, because my choir sang it with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. I also posted the lyrics to a great 12 Days version in the humor thread.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

That may be the one - and I saw your parody in the joke thread.Some friends of mine are in a show choir here. Last may, they did a rendition of the William Tell Overture. A vocal group? Yup - "Buda bum buda bum buda bump bump bump!" I don't know how they got through it without losing it.

 

[krzymomof4]

I wonder if this would be too hard for a game for a show.

My choir did a version of the Marriage of Figaro overture and one of Bach's fugues like that. They were fun.

 

[stacywhitlow]

Clue, too.
[singing]
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven,
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the news!"
[/singing]

That does not help me at all. Will you please tell me the answer? Pleeeeaaaassseee?:cry:

 

[stacywhitlow]

I found it!! DUH!! I didn't know it was considered a Christmas Carol. I would have never figured it out. I cheated!

 

[chefann]

Dang it, KG - I can't find the CD with the musicological version of 12 Days. It's lost somewhere in this black hole that is my house. EDITED TO ADD: I found it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000008NID/?tag=pfamazon01-20

 

[whiteyteresa]

That does not help me at all. Will you please tell me the answer? Pleeeeaaaassseee?:cry:

PLEASE HELP ME - I can't figure it out

PLEASE

[chefann]

Here's another hint:
the 9 dancers dancing from the 12 Days of Christmas would like it
the apartment isn't really an apartment, it's an office

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Hint Four:It's a smaller set of a much larger work.(The third hint was Herr Drosselmeyer.)

 

[chefann]

Well, rats! You're just the king of hints, KG.<giggle>

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I think you're Clara voyant.At least you didn't call me a cracker.

 

[chefann]

Or a fairy.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I was just thinking about Sugar Plums, too.

 

[chefann]

With coffee, or tea?

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Coffee is good, pennywhistles are nice, but I'm a trepak kinda guy.(Oh, how I wish I could dance like that!)Actually, coffee is haunting.

 

[stacywhitlow]

PLEASE HELP ME - I can't figure it out

PLEASE

Sure you want to know?







Nutcracker Suite

 

[raebates]

I know they're not all carols, but that's the title I was given for the quiz. It took me a long time to figure out The Nutcracker Suite. It's one of those weird things that popped into my head a day or two later. (I hate checking the answers before I have an answer for each one.)

 

[chefann]

The "2" in the clue for that one threw me off. Well, that and I don't tend to refer to the shortened collection of music (the suite) from the whole work.

 

[raebates]

What threw me was the word "apartment." I think of a suite as either an office or a hotel room. I was literally sitting at lunch one day when the answer popped into my head. I'm such a dork.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

The "2" in the clue for that one threw me off. Well, that and I don't tend to refer to the shortened collection of music (the suite) from the whole work.

"One" would have been sufficient. I kept thinking of things with "shrink" and "head shrinker" until the "nut" popped into my head. I'm not sure how I would have obfuscated the name, but then, I never would have put The Nutcracker in a list of Christmas Carols.

I also suspect that many people cannot differentiate the The Nutcracker Suite from The Nutcracker. Ironically, Tchaikovsky didn't really like it very much and yet, it is his most endearing work. Of all the wonderful music he wrote (I love his 6th Symphony, known as the Pathatique and the waltz from Swan Lake is one of my favorites) I suspect certain tunes from The Nutcracker are whistled by many unknowing people this time of year.

 

[chefann]

Rae, I had the same problem with apartment. Hotel Room would have suggested "suite," as would office.KG- there is no way in heck I would have gotten nutcracker from psychiatrist. I kept getting hung up on shrink, doc, paradox (for 2 of them). I may have thought "nut" for a brief moment, but didn't make the connection.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Well, remember, I left the factory with a slight defect in my wiring harness.

 

[chefann]

This is true. But that's part of what makes you, you. And why we love you.
:love:Awww.... hugs for everybody!
