How to scare your kids out of christmas gifts and into good behviour.
 
When I saw the title of your thread, the first thing that popped in my head was that song. I didn't realize there was a music video to go with it!
 
I don't think that's the real Santa.

I love Dr Demento! I wonder if they are all on youtube?
 
I really love Ozzy Osbourne at the end of this. :biggrin:

I used to play the song for the girls at Christmas. They were always perfect angels. :biggrin:

Dozens of responses and not even a comment! I guess this joke was really a stinker, but I thought it was such witticism! :smile:

OHHHHH JESUS... PIETA PIETA...!


I am sorry but i think this is an absolutely horrible song. Boring, monotone and annoying (especially if you listen to it longer then 30 seconds). This song does NOT reflect the real Christmass atmosphere (at least not for me). It reminds me of them cheap 80ties songs...

There have been rumours of denialists that Santa Claus doesn't exist. Those deniers are paid by the toy-companies (which hate the illegal competition of Santa with free gifts!), so we do know that they are very very wrong from the onset. Nevertheless, we have investigated the matter closely. Our method was using the search functions of the most prestigeous scientific magazines (Science, Nature) on Internet using the search terms: Santa <and> Claus <and> refuted <or> falsified <or> debunked <or> not exist

The result was zero. Non of the articles claimed to have refuted the existence of Santa Claus Hence all the contributors to Science and Nature reached a general consensus. Santa exists, period!

and may the santa deniers crumble to dust.

I think this is probably strictly for Ozzy fans.

Sorry, Marlon, I should have warned people with actual musical taste that this wasn't the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. :redface: :biggrin:

I've never heard that one before. :smile: But, cookies and beer?! No wonder I never got what I asked for from Santa! My parents told me he preferred rum and Coke with his cookies.

If I was santa I wouldn't be so picky. Perhaps I'll ask Astronuc to lend me his beard and visit all the people who leave out alcoholic beverages othan beer for christmas.
