Some folks may have seen this before (maybe even here), but it's fun so I thought I'd share:

No peaking at the answers until finished!


Can you decipher the real titles of these exaggerated titles of very familiar Christmas tunes?

1. From dark 'til dawn, soundless and sanctimonious

2. Celestial messengers from splendid empires

3. In a distant bovine diner

4. Universal elation

5. Ornament the enclosure with large sprigs of berry-bearing evergreen

6. O miniature Nazarene village

7. May Jehovah grant unto you hiliarious males retirement

8. Those of you who are true, come here!

9. Are you detecting the same aural sensations as I am?

10. The diminutive male of less than adult age who plays percussion

11. Primary Yuletide

12. Heavenly cherubs announcing in song--listen!

13. Reigning monarchs of the Far East

14. Proclaim it to the hills


Spoiler: click to show/hide

1. Silent Night

2. Angels We Have Heard on High

3. Away in a Manger

4. Joy to the World

5. Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

6. O Little Town of Bethlehem

7. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

8. O, Come All Ye Faithful

9. Do You Hear What I Hear?

10. Little Drummer Boy

11. The First Noel

12. Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

13. We Three Kings

14. Go Tell It on the Mountain


:p

The longest-running science fiction series: decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core. Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans... Cybermen! They're still in the nursery compared to us. Forty-three years of absolute fandom. That's what it takes to be really critical.

in America, do you call (what we call) Silent Night, 'Silent Night, holy night' ? :eh:

Anyways, just a little thing lol!

Well i got what i think is a fair alternative answer for 2:

2. Celestial messengers from splendid empires
Angels from the realms of glory

I'd tend to disagree if sparky was referring to the title Pickles, usually just "Silent Night" I also had gone with Angels From the Realms of Glory for #2

For the others I got

3. Away in a Manger
5. Deck the Halls
6. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
9. Do You Hear What I Hear?
10. Little Drummer Boy
11. The First Noel
12. Hark! The Heral Angels Sing
13. We Three Kings
14. Go Tell It On The Mountain
