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.

On the second day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the third day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the sixth day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 6 cows a mooing 5...25,600 minutes...4 Christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the seventh day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the eighth day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 8 druggies begging 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the ninth day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 9 Bohemians dancing 8 druggies begging 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the tenth day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 10 voicemails beeping 9 Bohemians dancing 8 druggies begging 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the eleventh day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 11 steps to tango 10 voicemails beeping 9 Bohemians dancing 8 druggies begging 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

On the tweltfh day of Rentmas Jon Larson gave to me: 12 guitars tuning 11 steps to tango 10 voicemails beeping 9 Bohemians dancing 8 druggies begging 7 candles burning 6 cows a mooing 5....25,600 minutes...4 christmas bells 3 homeless bums 2 starving artists and a cold loft on Avenue B

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

How cute! The only change I would make would be "9 BoHos Dancing" instead of Bohemians, just for flow

love 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.

As 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!

Wonderful! :) 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.

I 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!

I 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.

That 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?
