We are playing a new game on one of my lists. Guess the song title... but please don't feel you have to stick to a holiday theme.

Adorn the Vestibules

Nureyev, the crimson proboscis airbone quadriped

Adorn the Vestibules with Boughs of Ilex . . .

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly . . .

Tinman

quote:

Nureyev, the crimson proboscis airbone quadriped

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

Jehovah relax you drunken men of refinement.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Allow It to Precipitate Coldly

Let It Snow!

Locomoting within the nirvana of a nuclear fission meltdown accident

Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

Good One!!!

Breast area afficianados moving molecules at very high speed on a fully available high heat source

"Breast area aficiandos?" I love it!

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.

The nit, belonging to our fine ruler's lusty serving lady, scanned the room.
[Warning: Pun alert!]

Is it Good King Wenceslaus looked out on the feast of Stephen?

If so, where is the pun? And what is the nit?

Very good! the pun, and the nit, are these:

(fine ruler's) (lusty serving lady's) (nit) (scanned the room)
equals
(Good King) (wench's)-(louse) (looked out)

QF, you're not on line and didn't post a new song, so I'll poach.

M'lords, clothe Marie [Pun again]

I'm afraid I'm gonna need some help on this one. The brain is not giving it up

oh my... I got it.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

(GoDress Ye Marie ....)

Listen Up! The Cherubim in charge of making announcements and declaring protocol will be indulging in vocal harmonizing this evening.

Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

I'm in a hurry this morning, so a bad pun...

A warrior that battles a dragon at frequencies below 20 hz.

Silent [k]night

Skyward, atop the domicile roof

Up on the housetops...



To the east, Cuban dictators!! (trilingual pun)

Sunrise Castros???

Adeste Fidelis??? HAH HAH HAH

All of us, triune, rulers; occidental we ain't.

We three kings of Orient are.

Not at home in a trough.

Away in a Manger



Song of Campanology


Hint: (highlight with your mouse only if you need it)
"Carillon's Noel" would also do it

Carol of the Bells?

Tintinnabula of Ag

"Silver Bells" ! good one!

...be in debt to the leather-making compound, creator of Dorothy and Toto

Oh Tannenbaum!

Wonderful, Hab. I give that one a ten.


Tiny triumvirate; leaders all.

I'm reminded of the dog named Chet who was taught to sing. When his left front paw was raised, he'd sing, "Oh, Come, Al Ye Faithful." When his left paw was raised, he'd sing, "O Little Town of Bethlehem," and when one placed a candle under his hindquarters he'd sing, "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire..."

We(e) Three Kings...

Ilex and climbing Hedera species

The Holly and the Ivy

This one is convoluted and a bit tortured, but here goes:

What did southern cracker German say when asked why he was attempting to determine the gravitational pull of the Governator's wife?

I am completely stumped! I wish I'd gotten to this game earlier in the run! Someone solve this one and give me an easier challenge! LOL

What did southern cracker German say when asked why he was attempting to determine the gravitational pull of the Governator's wife?


...It might be "Away in a Manger", because to determine the gravitational pull is to weigh, but I can't connect the rest of it.

As he's a German Colonel, maybe it should be "-vay-" instead of -way-, but I can't think of any songs offhand with that sound in the title...

Is that a starting point at least?

Yes. Ah Vay is a start. He says "Ah" because he is southern. U.S. Southern I guess, but German so he says "v" for the "w" in weigh. The rest should be easy.

Well, the Governator's wife is named Maria...

OK, S, then you're up for the next one !


Later - I just deciphered out "Governator" - he's Arnold Schwartzenegger, the Terminator/Governor of California. And his wife is Maria Shriver. (smack-upside-the-head emoticon)

She was even shooting me hints in email, and I couldn't get it. Duh.

Even a Full Professor only gets twenty minutes, so I'll fill in for the nonce. Seanahan, take back your place at the head of the line whenever you want !

In the meantime,

There was really good visibility for that nocturnal arrival.

At precisely 12:00AM?

What about the paean to Terpsichore by a group of jokesters? Hint: Smetana

Actually, I've been really busy, and as you noticed, I never actually "solved" the puzzle, since I haven't had time to make a new one, so until someone "solves" it, the board is open.

Also, I prefer "Gubenator" to "Governator".

Didn't I just post another one - a non Xmas one?

Asa the confoosed

Smetana?

The Moldau ?
Ma Vlast ?
sour cream ? (in Yiddish, anyway)

Ah. Dance of the Comedians. Isn't that Kabalevsky?

ICLIU, and I did. Smetana it is. Maybe I was thinking of the music to Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh. That ought to be Dance of the Hours, from The Comedians ? No, that's by Ponchielli.

How about Tchaikowski, Lupus ? I'm sure about that one, at least. It's by Prokofiev, though, not Tchaikowsky.

I believe Kabelevsky lifted it from Smetana. Such stuff is not unheard of. Look how many Broadway tunes were written by Alexander Pee Borodin, but credited to Rogers and Hammerhead!

Yes, but that was Fate, or Karma, or Kismet. Whatever.

To resume - Tchaikowski, Lupus
(not holiday-related)

Peter and the Wolf

and on another non-holiday piece...

Plow the fields, fossil fuel and catalogs!

and.... I LOVE THE PICTURE AT THE TOP! Sorry to shout, but what a lovely surprise.

Merry Prankness!!!
(that's Richard Strauss !)

I'm not sure I have a comeback after that one !

"Sugary avian conflagration" maybe?

But it's going to be a long time before anyone tops your last one, QF (hat's-off emoticon)

I need some clues on this one, Hab!

Try translating from Latinoid polysyllables to Anglo-Saxon monosyllables?

I'm stumped.

Sweet bird fire

saccharine phoenix

my brain hurts!

You got it, the first time! Now you just have to rearrange it. (Read it backwards !)

FIRE BIRD SUITE!

Clever man...

Terpsichorean performance of the pink blooming tree, my limp-wristed friend.

That one's Tchaikowski! Among other things, part of Pecan-fragmenter candy, too.

Only pecans? What about walnut walloping and cashew crushing?

Now, on a holiday theme, Sir Rodney with an aperture.
