Okay.
So I took the liberty of finishing this and I moved some things around so here you go. I actually tried to keep some of the things CLOSE to the original as far as what they were doing but I guess that's not very obvious...anyway. Enjoy.

And it only took me until number 10 to figure out I could just cut and paste as opposed to typing it all out...

You just wanna lay down and cry
Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22
Turn 30 in 1990
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?"

Posted: 11/10/05 at 11:43amlove this! Reminds me of college when we'd be going through finals right before christmas break. We'd make up our lyrics to traditional carols. We ended up with things like "I'm Dreaming of an 'A' Paper" and "The Twelve Days of Finals." Good times.

Posted: 11/10/05 at 11:49amAs much as I love these spoofs, there's just one thing: 525,600 minutes doesn't really fit into the "Five golden riiiiiiings" unless you say it really fast. Just a thought. Very awesome though!

Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird

Posted: 11/10/05 at 11:58amWonderful! :) It makes me feel better about the fact that I spent my entire first class writing a parody of Rent about how much I wish it were the 23rd.

Posted: 11/10/05 at 11:59amI sang it in my head (alright... out loud), and when I got to 5, I just did the usual Seasons of Love melody, then went back into the 12 Days melody. Fuuuuun!

allie, that is what I did too! I mean, it does sound weird, but it works! I think we should write that to them and ask if they could sing it on the next Broadway cares christmas cd! that would be cool!
oh, and it reminds me of the 12 pains of christmas song. love that song!

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Posted: 11/10/05 at 1:14pmI sang it to the tune of SOL as well! How funny that at least three of us automatically reverted back to the original melody for that part.

Posted: 11/10/05 at 3:30pmThat was awesome!! I agree with the 525,600 minutes not making sense. How about "5 reels (or cans) of film"? I dunno, that could work?
