  'Twas the Night Before... Singing! Today, we uphold that time-honored pirate tradition to sing a shanty at any possible opportunity. * First, choose a holiday song you like and tweak the lyrics to make them piratey style. * Round up friends, relatives, and possibly complete strangers * Perform the song, with your friends and relatives helping out AND adding anything piratey to the performance ("I'm dreaming of a white Christmas (chorus of YARRRRRR!)", "Come, they told me pa-ru-pu-pu-pum (chorus of RUM! RUM! RUM!", etc) * Rehearsal is optional, but recommended * You can sing unaccompanied, or you can provide your own accompaniment, or you can source your own (public domain) backing track, or you can record using a karaoke site. * Record yourself somehow * Upload your file to a web space or file hosting service, and copy the link for the file. * Make sure (get a mate to check) that your file can be accessed and played without signing in, registering, membership or delayed download! * I'm looking for a fun and enthusiastic performance that spreads enjoyment. I'm also looking for heart-felt piratey additions to the song! As a reminder, please read the general rules before posting. Your post should include: * Pirate name and ocean * Link to your recording * Your lyrics * You may also choose to give a shout-out to your singing minions. This contest will run from Thursday to Thursday, to give everyone a chance to faint and recover. Go Doodle! ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Greylady ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by Clotho at Jan 21, 2019 9:53:09 PM] |

Herowena Cerulean Link to the sound of... you might wish it was silence . I Want a Hippopotamus (Pet) For Christmas I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a hat, no stripey knicker clothes I want a hippopotamus to walk and talk and pose I want a hippopotamus for Christmas I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? He won't have to use a hired-swabby sloop Just whisk him to my cabin That's the easy thing to do I can see me now on Christmas morning Waking in the cold Oh what joy and what surprise When I open up my eyes To see a Hero Hippo in the hold I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do I have crocodiles and octopuses I only need hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses need me, too! ---------------------------------------- Herowena of Cerulean Still Sleeping With The Fishes Avatar by Dexla |

Had so much fun with this one!! Tothemoonn, Emerald Ocean Link: https://soundcloud.com/whiteballloons/little-saint-nick-pirate-edition/s-edmgq Description: The holiday classic "Little Saint Nick" with Santa's sleigh reimagined as a festive sloop! The whole song is done a cappella, all parts sung by me (I guess that counts as accompanying myself?? Next time I'll have to find some friends!) Lyrics: Oooooooo Merry Christmas Saint Nick Christmas comes this time each year Well way up north where the sea gets cold There's a tale about Christmas That you've all been told And a real famous cap'n suited up in maroon And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sloop It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick) It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick) Just a little old ship we call the old Saint Nick But she'll speed like a trike-y, man she's lightning quick She's holiday red with a wreath for a wheel And when Santa fills the sails man just watch her peel It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick) It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick) ---------------------------------------- All about Tothemoonn! of the Emerald Ocean Artistic rendition of my face and upper body by the superbly skilled Xioch! |
