The Lyrics
This song summarizes the infamous "Burn the Koran Day" which was canceled. If it go on as planned, this is probably what would happen...
Koran roasting on an open fire,
Bad smell climbing to my nose,
Rustling papers being burnt by the fire,
The folks all yelled out "What the hell?"
Everybody wants some kebabs and some falafels,
But some thinks it isn't right
Tiny bombs on their thighs will all blow
We'll find them nice to eat tonight.
We burnt some turbans on the way;
We're nauseous from the smell of crazies ain't it great?
And every single reasons we cannot lie,
Angrily ask us for those reasons and why
And so I'm offering a front row seat,
To kids from 2001,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very tragic event indeed
Bad smell climbing to my nose,
Rustling papers being burnt by the fire,
The folks all yelled out "What the hell?"
Everybody wants some kebabs and some falafels,
But some thinks it isn't right
Tiny bombs on their thighs will all blow
We'll find them nice to eat tonight.
We burnt some turbans on the way;
We're nauseous from the smell of crazies ain't it great?
And every single reasons we cannot lie,
Angrily ask us for those reasons and why
And so I'm offering a front row seat,
To kids from 2001,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very tragic event indeed
Here we go...

To tell you the truth....I'm not sure how to vote on this....
K' Books roasting near a ~Sire on Fire ~ . . . BinLadin watching from Khartum . . . oBama kneeling in Mosk so bright . . .
Excellent title switch, from the sublime to the ridiculous, but a couple of tiny glitches:
"faLAfel doesn't scan right to MIStletoe; the last line is over-length (even including "a")
A merry Christmas to you
A very tragic event indeed
Only thing I can think of is that you've heard some version that ends. "A *very* merry...." in which case, would retract the above, but don't believe I've ever heard it that way. Surely Nat King Cole's version must be the most popular ever.
"And every single reasonS" is a mismatch in number. "single reason" . (or "many reasons"). Couldn't really understand the meaning of that line anyway.
Overall, a great send-up of the event on top of said great title switch, so we'll go 455. I don't think it deserved the one-bombs, but that never stops anyone, does it? :)

The rhyming was pretty dire, but was ok I guess...
It killed me that the name of the Pastor involved was Terry Jones. Terry Jones of Monty Python fame sang 'Never Be Rude To An Arab', and the pastor namesake was being very rude to Muslims!
