Oh yes! A parody where my vote will be perfectly appropriate!

Once in 4th grade some kids sang this

"Back when I was in elementary school, some kids used to sing this..."; same here. Taking another's work and posting it as your own in not a good thing, but I'll stop short of calling your parody half-plagiarised since a) there probably isn't a copyright on the DTH(WG) part and b) you acknowledged that you are not the original author of half this parody. I will say though that this song is three verses long, not two. If I were to rate you on the 1/3 of the song that you wrote, it would be a 222 at best, so I'm not voting here. Better luck next time.

Whaddaya mean plagiarized? This was a partial parody of a Christmas song that elementary school kids would sometimes sing, & had no definite origin. So, I don't really think it's "plagiarized" since it has no definite origin & because I elaborated a bit. (btw, I've always known Deck the Halls to have two verses. I'm not sure about that 3rd one).

Just because the author of something can't be traced doesn't mean that a work is not plagiarized. As my college professors used to say, if you heard it someplace else and don't remember where, footnote it that way. Isn't it better (and more challenging) to come up with your own ideas? I've never heard this before. However, if it has existed in some close form then I think the author should withdraw this or it should be taken down. Hey Red, plagiarism is not determined by whether or not something has been copyighted. One owns what they produce once a work is produced. Copyrighting gives you the added protection of not having to prove ownership, sets damages, etc.

All you say is true, but Red did say, " I'll stop short of calling your parody half-plagiarised...".

Agrim - you are correct and Red seems like an intelligent person. Red "stopped short of calling [your] parody half-plagiarised since a) there probably isn't a copyright" - copyright or not, it could still be plagiarism. There is an author (or several) on this site who can tell you that. I read where Robert J. Pagliaro had a parody plagiarized (copyright infringement) on a work that was not copyrighted. Nothing against you and nothing against Red here.

interesting

It's super cool and it is just what I was looking for. I will use it to make fun of my music teacherthat dont want to give us the lyrics!!!!!!

Thank you. I'm glad it fulfilled your need.

hmm, i have a song thats like this, just a little diffrent. ill post it if you want.

OMG!!! you are soooooooo famous at my school! someone heard someone sing your song and probally looked it up and sang it to his/her friends and passed it on. It kept up until it came to me, in other words, thank you for making up this song if you hadn't then i would have never known that Christmas didn't have to be so sourious (Sp?) and could be very funny!

Well, technically, the first half I ripped off from hearing my fellow classmates sing it. The second half is my own doing.

Lol I heard my friends sing this in Elementary too.. but not the second part. A third verse? I don't think so..

this is awesome!!!

I was tempted to write this parody!

I heard this "parody" in school too, but there was no second half. My vote is only for the second half, and it is 5-5-3.

OMG my TEACHER wore a Tshirt with this written on it!! it was sooo funny!

XD I remember singing this in music class to pass the time. Then the teacher would come in and yell at us for wanting to start he school on fire.

deck the halls with gasoline falalalalalalala strike a match and watch it gleam falalalalalalala break a window, pop a tire falalalalalalala set the christmad tree on fire falalalalalalala

Actually, though I have no proof, I am the author of the first stanza, but I wrote "watch the school go down in ashes". This would have been written in the mid-80s in Indiana when visiting my cousins house. Glad to see it inspired many variations.

Fugacity - I think I can corroborate your story. I remember one of my classmates telling some of us one day at school about writing the lyrics and teaching them to us. This would have been about 1985 in Indianapolis.

if you mess with me i will mess with you. dont make me get my cane!

and then theres jingle bells. DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW, ON A PAIR OF BROKEN SKIIS, OVER ROCKS WE GOM BREAKING BOTH MY KNEES HAHAHAH BELLS ON RUDOLPH'S NOSE, MAKE HIM WANT TO CRY, WHAT FUN IT IS TO LAUGH AND SEE RUDOLPH DYING. JINGLE BELLS BATMAN SMELLS ROBIN WENT AWAY, UNCLE BILLY GOT LOST ON THE MILKY WAY HEYYYYY

t funniest song I heard

The parody of Deck The Halls is old as dirt, as I'm 35 now, and I was singing it in Elementary school. Same with Jingle Bells: Jingle Bells, Batman smells, etc. The best part of the Jingle Bells parody is when Batman is floating down the Delaware, chewing his underwear, and so forth. It then goes into Great green globs of greasey, grimey golpher guts...catch my drift?

WRECK THE MALLS WITH LAST MINTUTE SHOPPERS,,LOOKING FOR CHRISTMAS TREE TOPPERS,CROWDS AND MOBS,ON A RIOT,AFTER CHRISTMAS STARTS THE DIET

DECK THE HALLS WITH POISON IVY,MAKE THE DAY ALL LIVELY,RUNNING STOPPING FOOD HALL SHOPPING,THEN WAIT FOR UNCLE DAN'S ARIVAL

I know many might find the parody funny but I myself do not in the least. In light of the many school shootings lately and tragic loss of life I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’m sure those who’ve lost their children and loved ones take offense even if it’s about burning down or bombing a school. This is very inappropriate in nature. I love parodies but certain things don’t belong as part of them

This parody is older than my deceased grandpa and has nothing to do with school shootings. Chillax.

Hmmn...much ado about, well, not much. I guess it's kinda cute. Maybe I'm just jealous about 27,300 views.

Anonymous, I am no more in favor of school shootings than you are. I happen to know about the tragedy that was the Bath School Disaster. However, I did not do this one for the purpose of glorifying the death of innocent people. It was only meant in jest.

I think I wrote this in 1985 or 86 at Nathaniel Hawthorn intermediate school in bayside New York. But the second verse is “watch the Schoolhouse burn to ashes”

dude some of these comments are older than my friends

DAMN SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ARE OLDER THAN I AM. SHEESH.

It is so funny

Deck The Walls With Bowels of Ali

why this post is so funny but a dumpster fire is more popular

This is awesome. I heard some friends at school singing this and wanted the lyrics. I found them! The other kids are gonna be so interested in the second verse.

Thanks, Amelia! I made up the second verse myself!

I have been looking for these lyrics everywhere and finally found them

perfect its super appropriate i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Keya!

Much epic 👌

Thanks, Lemon!

This was SOOOOOOO funny, and I'm glad you made it

Thank you, Hi2!

Deck the halls with dynamite. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Press the plunger, see the lights. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Now your school's a bunch of rubble. Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Aren't you glad you stirred up trouble? Fa la la la la, la la la la. Fa la la la la, la la la la. I love this sm

Deck the halls with gasoline. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Light a match & watch it gleam. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Now your school is down in ashes. Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Aren't you glad you played with matches? Fa la la la la, la la la la. no more school

Hahahahahahahahahahah it is so funny

Im in middle school me and my friends sing this and all the other kids think we are arsonists

I remember in 5th grade we would sing "jingle bells shotgun shells Santa Claus is dead, Rudolph took a 44 and shot him in the head"

In the locker rooms the other day all I could hear was this song. It was beautiful.

I have sent this song to every one I know.

My friend likes to spam this song to me every Christmas! I love it. 🤣

Every single day i hear it in the math class. It is a joy to hear it.

*Watch the school house burn to ashes* I like this better. Gives more of a pyromaniac vibe and goes better with the light a match and watch it gleam. Just wanna see those flames dance. :)

One of my friends has started singing this for every day of December. My other friends and I have caught on and are now singing the song like we're in a choir. 😂

Deck the walls with bowels of Ali, Allala Allah lilah lilah

WRECK THE UN WITH WRECKING BALLS, SWING THE BOOM AND SHOP AT THE MALLS,SEE THE WHOLE PLACE CRASHING DOWN, THEN JUST RETURN TO TOWN

This song is so sLAy
