so i was fucking around with @saltandlimes in about mid-october, as we do, and the subject of parody songs came up. i happened to mention that in my family, christmas carol parodying is a semi-professional sport. “do tell,” she said.
about ten minutes later the words for this were done. about ten minutes after that, i went, “hold on. this needs to be a thing.”
i figured i could handle the music, but i couldn’t do this alone. so i pulled every last shred of nerves together and messaged all my favourite kylux cartoonists. i nearly cried when everyone wanted to join in on this nonsense. i couldn’t believe it. and the art i got just knocked my socks off.
@wyomingnot supplied invaluable vidding advice. @pidgy-draws and @pixiepunch supplied moral support. and my lovely husband put up with my voice acting.
so without further ado, oh god what is this how did i get here i am not good with computer.
THE MUSIC: lyrics, music, midi orchestration and vocals by @acroamatica, with apologies to john williams. my accent is fake. so is domhnall’s.
THE VIDEO: audio and video produced by @acroamatica
you will find the lyrics sheet here, should you want it.
merry whatever you celebrate, and here’s to another year of exactly this sort of thing.
it seems we have come round again to The Season For This Sort Of Thing. so please enjoy.
If you missed the beauty of the 12 days of kylux last year, please take a listen now. Heck, even if you listened to it on repeat all last year, get it stuck in your head again!
