Book Description

October 23, 1998
Do You Hear What I Hear?

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go drown in Listerine, " "We wish you a very crisp mess, " and "O come, hoggy faithful." The master of the misheard, Gavin Edwards, author of the bestselling "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Pants, " has done it again, this time with a collection of bungled Christmas lyrics from misguided wassailers. Just in time for the holidays, "Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly" uncovers some of the most hilarious--and twisted--Yuletide blunders, including:

"Just like the wands I used to know"
("Just like the ones I used to know" -- "White Christmas")

"He's making a list, chicken and rice"
("He's making a list, checking it twice" -- "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town")

"Olive, the other reindeer"
("All of the other reindeer" -- "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

"Round John Virgin"
("Round yon virgin" -- "Silent Night")

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Carol Funtime!, November 16, 2000
This review is from: Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly: And Other Misheard Christmas Lyrics (Paperback)
Gavin Edward... who authored two books of misheard lyrics before, penned the funniest Christmas carol book ever!

True Line: Noel, Noel, born is the king of Israel. Misheard Line: Noel, Noel, Barney's the king of Israel.

True Line: Children, go where I send thee. Misheard Line: Children, go warm and sandy.

You get the picture. The book is filled with hilariously misheard lyrics, that weird line in "Silent Night" that never sounded quite right, but you never questioned. Hilarious!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly: And Other Misheard Christmas Lyrics (Paperback)
all these books on mondegreens are worth it if you like music.
especially if you like to make fun of people who can't
"get" the lyrics.

it is a VERY quick read, but i already knew the lyrics!!!
