On the eleventh day of Christmas, a Suethor gave to me
Eleven evil twins,
Ten random tense shifts,
Nine stupid songfics,
Eight underage Admirals,
Seven CAFs a'molting,
Six Elves a'drooling,
Five Time Lord love interests,
Four misquoted poems,
Three unicorns,
Two mini-Balrogs,
And a single glistening tear!

Once this is finished, someone should really sing it and distribute the recording.

Can you tell that I dislike people who misquote the Lord Of The Rings poem by accident?

Excellent! Now we shall sing it as we march against the Suethors!

Speaking of which, a question for all: by Neshomeh on 2009-12-02 21:48:00 UTC Reply

May I add this to the PPC Holiday Songbook?

Excellent idea! I'm glad everyone had fun with it.
I don't see why not. by Sedri on 2009-12-02 22:47:00 UTC Reply

Although... can I make a slight alteration to my line? I seem to have the wrong syllable count compared to everyone else. Can you make it "Three blue unicorns"?

I think it works fine. by Neshomeh on 2009-12-02 23:12:00 UTC Reply

/ Three / Fre // ench / hens /

/ Three / un // i / corns /

It'll still work if you change it, though; it just makes for a divided beat:

/ Three // blue / un // i / corns /

I had to divide a beat for mine, too:

/ Two / tur // tle / doves /

/ Two / mi // ni / Bal // rogs /

So, either way. {= )

~Neshomeh, who hopes her attempts at syllabic notation make sense.

Oh, it does. by Sedri on 2009-12-03 08:18:00 UTC Reply

It's just that I was seeing so many divided beats that I thought maybe you're all thinking of a different version (or that my memory is off, given that I've heard the song all of once).

... That, and everyone else was more creative than me ;) So whatever works for you.

You've only heard it once? (nm) by Tiroth on 2009-12-03 10:24:00 UTC Reply

My family's not big on Christmas - actually, we're about as unChristmasy as you can get without not giving presents all together. I grew up annoyed by most Christmas carols - especially the overtly religious ones - and never bothered to sing them. Usually once I start singing something they're branded in my mind forever, but these melodies tend to escape me.
