"Flu Ride"

[Tony]

Hey Gang,

I just heard a Christmas song called "Flu Ride" today on iTunes. It's the Carpenters "Sleigh Ride" but with different lyrics sung by someone else. You can take a listen by going here:

Listen to "Christmas Party Song"

I wonder if Richard knows they stole his beloved arrangement from Christmas Portrait??

Also, they do MERRY CHRISTMAS ALLAH. WHich is to be like MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING...amazing the songs they do, that are like Karen. That girl has a captivating vocal...reminiscent in phrasing of Karen...and the way her voice sounds similar to Karen's range.

Bob Rivers! He does a lot of good song parodies. If you're at all familiar with classic rock or pop songs, you'll recognize the tunes he parodies. I think I posted about these two Bob Rivers songs last year--try a search on his name.

One favorite is "Jingle Hells Bells". It is a song parody done as AC/DC, singing their own hard-rock-lifestyle version of "My Favorite Things" to a riff that is based on "Highway To Hell". Whoever sings this does Bon Scott DEAD accurate!

Don't forget another Bob Rivers classic: "Merry Christmas Allah"...formerly "Merry Christmas Darling".
