I hear Bugs once evaded a raft of hungry Bismollian guys by dressing up as a cute girl and then escaping during the big musical number.

Or maybe it was Proty, disguised as Bugs disguised as a cute girl.

I'm thinking that a Coluan-Bismollian would dress like a fish and call himself/herself "Brainfood."

Bismollian-Titanians know if you dropped their food on the floor and tried to pretend you didn't and it's okay-they'd eat the floor too!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee! !"

Funny thing about "O Tannenbaum" is I swear I've never seen the same English lyrics used twice. There are a crazy number of translations. For us hard-core carolers, the proper lyrics are:

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat schon zur Winterzeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Mut und Kraft zu jeder Zeit!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren!

Yes, and who could forget Garrison Keillor using the melody in his immortal tribute to Lutefisk ?

My favorite Garrison Keillor joke was "According to Sigmund Freud, what comes between fear and sex?"

"Funf."

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, 'Yoo-hoo!'
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you

The Christmas standard that has probably the most interesting story is "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Its original words, about pining to be with loved ones resonated with wartime audiences. It was introduced by Judy Garland in a very tender moment in the film Meet Me in St. Louis.

Fast-forward to the late fifties Sinatra wants to record the song, but he thinks the lyrics are too depressing. He has them rewrite it so the words are happier. Never mind that "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough" is a total non sequitur with the rest of the song. If Frankie wanted it happy, he got it happy (I'm not a fan, can you tell?).
