The Blues Brothers Christmas Album

[Steam McQueen]

*ahem* parody

ANNOUNCER: Don Pardo

New from K-Tel just in time for the holidays. Join Jake and Elwood and the Blues Brothers Band as they celebrate a Blues Christmas.

Join the brothers on their mission from Santa while enjoying such classics as,

"Silent Night, Holy Night
Have You Seen the Light?"

and the wonderfully rendered,

"Away in a Slammer"

Embrace the mission and see how many Blues Christmas Songs you can think of. Entire songs may receive a special greeting from Santa. *act now limited time offer*

[takkuneg]

Oooh, this is what you meant!

The best I can come up with is:

"Curtis got run over by a reindeer
Walkin' home from the liquor store Christmas Eve..."

[Steam McQueen]

Hmmm. Poor Curtis. How does that turn out? Here's one I did at work today. Hey, I guess that makes me a paid songwriter! When my friends and I encourage each other to peel out of a parking lot, stand on it, give 'er, lay some rubber etc., we yell, "Let 'er go!"


Let 'Er Go - (sung to the tune of Let It Snow)
by Steam McQueen


Oh the traffic outside is frightful
But the old 440 is so delightful
And since we've just left the show
Let 'er go! Let 'er go! Let 'er go!

The motor doesn't show signs of stopping
Those brand new plugs are really popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let 'er go! Let 'er go! Let 'er go!

When we finally throw a rod
How I'll hate all those oily drips
But if you'll really hold the Dodge
All the way home we'll do flips

Well the chase is slowly dying
And my oil pan now is surely frying
But as long as our mission says so
Let 'er go! Let 'err GO!
LET 'ER GOOOoooooooooooHer name is Rio and she dances on the sand.


I just couldn't resist that last line.

I made an album cover and back.file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Setting...ures/Image.bmp


Tell me if it worked.

[takkuneg]

No dice, caramal. Unfortunately, the rest of us can't access your computer (which is the path/link you have put)

[bluesharp]

Nice one Steam!!
I'll get me thinking cap on!!

[kasis]

This is my humble version of rawhide with chrsitmas lyrics... It`s not finished yet, but I think I`m doing ok. Please, use your imagination



Theme from Christmas (on rawhide tune)



snowin` snowin` snowin`
all that snow is falling
keep the presents going
christmas!

Give the gifts, lit the tree
Lit the tree, give the gifts
Give the gifts, lit the tree, Christmas!
Have some fun, watch the snow,
Hang those socks, sing along
Have some fun, this is my christmaaas!

[caramal]

File is to big to load.Is there a program I could use to shrink the file sise?

[jolietpaul106]

Can anyone come up with lyrics to a song I'm thinking up?? (Jingle Bell Blues instead of Jingle Bell Rock)

Nearly any photo program lets you re-size things.

Got caught in the chimney
And left me a sled to ride
The sleigh flew out
I swung on behind
Crazy 'bout him, that big-bellied Santa of mine
My Santa, he's round
Great gosh almighty, my Santa's large

Nice one Jacob!!

Excellent stuff. Christmas tunes from Rawhide and She Caught the Katy. It's making for an interesting CD. Looking forward to seeing the cover, caramal. Here's my latest.


Daniel the Red-Nosed Roller - (sung to the tune of...well you know)
by Steam McQueen

Daniel the red-nosed Roller
Had a partner named Trooper Mount
And if you ever saw them
You would say they couldn't even count

All of the other Rollers
Used to laugh at every job they'd botch
They'd always taunt poor Daniel
with, "Hey, they broke my watch"

Then one windy Chicago eve
Mercer came to say
Daniel and Mount you're not so bright
Let's go chase those Brothers tonight

Then all the Rollers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Daniel if you catch those Brothers
You'll go down in his-toorrr-yyyy.

You've got somethin'

I'm a snoooooooowman!
I'm a snoooooooowman!
I'm a snoooooooowman!

I was trying to think of one to Soul Man to but you beat me to it!! Nice song JacobStein.

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Crazy stuff here...But sure is great and funny!!

[Steam McQueen]

You see the different styles. I just take a regular old Christmas song and change the words to fit the blues. kasis took a Blues Brothers movie tune, Rawhide, and made it into a Christmas themed song which evokes family, in my mind, and I really liked it.

Then we have Mr. Stein. Who truly took the challenge into uncharted territory. Outrageous, outlandish, outstanding! Weird Al is looking for you, JacobSteinAFM!

As for jolietpaul106 and others, several different versions of any tune are more than acceptable as far as I'm concerned. Two, three or four versions of any Christmas or Blues Brothers tune? Bring it!

Here's my latest attempt. I would imagine that we're teetering on the brink of blaspheme.


Have Yourself a Merry Blues Christmas - (sung to the tune of nearly the same name)

Have yourself a merry Blues Christmas
Be sure to see the light
From now on
The Rollers will be out of sight

Have yourself a bluesy little Christmas
Gruppenfuehrer is gay
From now on
The Illinois nazis will be miles away

Here we are as in old Dodge days
Happy ballroom days of yore
All the band who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will sing together
If the Warden will allow
Hang a shining harp upon the highest bough
And have yourself
A merry bluesy little Christmas now.

[kasis]

I`m just loving this thread so much I would kiss it!

[Steam McQueen]

Wow! kasis, please clean your screen before you lay a smooch on this thread. LOL. It is flu season. Well, up here anyway. You never really know where your monitor goes at night.

If I did the first verse of Silent Night, would anyone contribute?


Silent Night - (you know the tune)

Silent Night, Holy Night
Have you seen, the glorious light

'Round yon Penguin
Two orphans are brothers
Poor little soul men
Never knew their own mothers

Curtis the saviour played harp
Curtis the saviour played harp.

Silent Night [sung to the tune of well Silent Night!!]

Silet night, holy night

all is blues, have you seen the light

Curtis took in Elwood and Jake

The penguin taught them well for goodness sake

Peace and blues to all all

Peace and blues to all

So how was it
