h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Know any?

We three kings of Orient are,
One on a scooter, two in a car (or something like that).

Jingle Bells,
Batman Smells,
Robin Flew away.
Wonder Woman lost her Bosom,
on the M-1 Motorway, Hey!

There are various versions of "While shepherds washed their socks ...".

There's a charity called 'Broadway Cares' that raises money for AIDS research etc. Most years, the release a 'Carols For a Cure' CD with the casts of current Broadway shows singing various festive tunes. Some are new, some are traditional and some are comedy versions. This year's offering includes a re-written 'Twelve Days of Christmas' and a track called 'The Annoying Drummer Boy', which sums up how I feel about the song it parodies.

There are many variations around on the 'Twelve Days' theme, of course, several of them very funny indeed.

We three kings of Orient are,
One on a taxi, one in a carol
one on a scooter blowing his hooter (memory fails after that)

jingle bells,
batman smell,
robin flew away

carol should have been car there, don't know what happened!

I once adapted 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' for purposes of seasonal credit control.

As I remember, it hinged on the line "Bills and payments reconciled".

Does that make me a Bad person?

The Three Kings one I know is:

We four lads from Liverpool are
George in a taxi, Paul in a car
John on his scooter pipping his hooter
following Ringo Starr.

Every december, the British radio plays this song "Walking round in women's underwear" to the tune of "Winter wonderland" Does anybody know anything about that?

While shepherds watched the box one night
Tuned in to ITV
The angel of the Lord came down
And switched to BBC

We three kings from Leicester Square
Selling ladies' underwear
So fantastic
No elastic
Only a penny a pair

"Every december, the British radio plays this song "Walking round in women's underwear" to the tune of "Winter wonderland" Does anybody know anything about that?"

I've heard that! It's hilarious!

I haven't...so elucidate perlees

Better yet, lets have a verse!

Last line I knew for the 3 Kings selling drawers in Leicester square ended

..."not very safe to wear"

I had a sad childhood

Walking Round In Women's Underwear used to be a regular fixture of the Classic Gold morning show until Tony Sodding Blackburn came along.

I *knew* there was a good reasen for despising Mr Blackburn...

I can't remember how it goes, I'm afraid. Maybe susanne can.

No problem - I had a bit of a Google

Is this it?

"Later on, if you wanna
we can dress like Madonna"

Yep, that's it!
