npgraphicdesign 3 #1 November 11, 2008 Inspired by a combination of a friend's complaint that his car broke down again & listening to Brian Setzer's Christmas album on the radio. Then I thought, why not write our own Jingle Bells version? It can be inspired or influenced by any event, as long as it sticks to the original melody and contains chorus "Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way". Have fun with this, loosen up, and flex your creative muscles! Chevrolet Jingle Bells Stumbling through the snow, With my suitcase on my back, There’s the dealership, I go on the attack. Your car’s a pile of junk, I want a new one now, Perhaps I would better off Just buying a snow plow. Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to sit In a broken-down Chevrolet… Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. I am so mad my car broke down I should just walk away. The engine barely starts, Suspension’s going too, Perhaps I should invest, In an all-wheel drive Subaru. The paint is peeling off, The tires are wearing out, As the smoke pours out from under the hood, All I can do is sit and shout. Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to sit In a broken-down Chevrolet… Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. I am so mad my car broke down I should just walk away. The dealership says wait… You have a warranty! Your car should be ok, Until two-thousand-twenty-three. I cannot wait that long, This car will break again, And if it does I won’t be back, I’ll simply go insane. Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to sit In a broken-down Chevrolet… Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. I am so mad my car broke down I should just walk away. This story’s at an end, I have to go back home, One last look at my car, And I yell out “Shalom!” When finally I’ll return, I hope it won’t be there, I’ll smile, I’ll laugh, I’ll dance away, Like a modern-day Fred Astaire. Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. That pile of junk is finally gone, It’s such a gorgeous day. Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. I’ll buy a new car, and this time I will not be led astray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #7 November 12, 2008 Quote You are either insanely jealous of my rhyming ability or...you own a Chevy. OK, so I went back and actually read a couple lines of the original post, so at least I now get the Chevy connection. And it's STILL too early for Christmas carols!

MikeJD 0 #8 November 12, 2008 Quote Can a moderator please delete this thread on the basis that it's not yet Thanksgiving? Really? Round here it's been Christmas for months already. Drives me insane. So, in the spirit of the thread (but bending the rules just a smidgen), here's my contribution: ************************** Strolling in the glare Of an August afternoon Shop-front signs declare You cannot start too soon Festive goods appear In every major store Just one hundred shopping days What are you waiting for? Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the year. Oh what fun it is to spend For a date that's nowhere near. Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Making such a din. We have to clear the shelves before The springtime stock comes in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #9 November 12, 2008 i made one up back in my 'commodity relocation engineering' days. dashing through the snow, with 400 cummins power. what once took 20 minutes, today took me an hour. i just slid around that last corner. it gave me quite a fright. oh what fun it is to be out trucking in the snow tonight! oh jingle bells, some more snow fell, there's three cars in my way. but if my retreads grip, and my truck don't slip off the road i'll be okay, hey! jingle bells, even more snow fell. now there's 5 cars in my way, but as long as my cummins keeps on hummin' i'll make it home today."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."
