Dear Santa! (The Post-Christmas Song) © PETER ANDERSSON A MUSIC PARODY BASED ON: "CHARISMA" BY: KISS BONUS QUOTE: "If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy." A. P. GOUTHEY		The story behind this parody is, well, I've always been a fan of the way Kiss do overlapping or partially overlapping choruses. Both Paul and Gene are very good singers and Ace and some various others haven't been bad either. Hard rock fans may flinch to the comparison but in using that they were also pioneers in the boy band genre (and superior to many of their successors). "Charisma" is far from the best example but because of the above I've been sketching to it a "Where is ma?" parody about baby-sitting, with words sung by a "disgruntled childrens choir". As often in my parody writing it didn't end up exactly there, and you can't see it in writing, but in my head the "dear santa" lines that is a substitute for both "what is my" and "charisma" is still sung by a whole bunch of noisy kids, even though the rest is sung by just one. Was it the fourteen bucks I gamed? Was it the many snakes I tamed? Was it my instability? Or just my sick morbidity? Huh? Huh? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Was it my body odour pain? Did I drive Ma insane? Huh? Was it the hours chowing fudge? Did I cause Hell in Dodge? Too much? Too Much? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Was it the laxatives in beers? Dear Santa! Or the graffiti on your deers? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Dear Santa! What was it, dear Santa, that brought what I got? What is it about me that makes you say not? NOT! Whaaaaaaaat? Am I a kid deserving coal? 'Cos I'm out of control? Was it the cookies on the shelf? Was it me tripping elves? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Was it the mailman that I bit? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Was it the throatbiting of bats? Dear Santa! Was it me microwaving cats? Dear Santa! Was it me throwing fits? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Was it the skunk i brought to school? Dear Santa! Was it the mirror and tools? Dear Santa! Dear Santa! Dear Santa!
