Xmas Song[s] of the Month
by KTKDecember 3rd, 2008
It’s a musical Randy Newman Advent Calendar!
Two overly enthusiastic Randy Newman fans have set themselves the task of writing a new Randy-Newman-esque theme song for a different movie that should have, but didn’t have, a theme song by prolific theme-song-writer Randy Newman, every day in December up until Christmas.
They’ve made it a little easier on themselves: each song is only 90 seconds long; they all use the same Randy-Newman-esque tune; and they all have the same chorus, with the appropriate movie name inserted and a quote at the end. So they really only have to write about 3 lines per song. But still . . .
The first wonderful offering is this:
Somethin’ bled
Here in the bed -
It’s that producer guy’s horse’s head!Gang war’s begun,
Michael’s on the run -
Take the cannoli but leave the gun.James Caan is leakin’
All over the place -
And near the end they shot Moe Greene in the face.Nobody believed that he could win.
Go, Godfather, go!
You my friend.Go, Godfather, go!
You got a reason to live.(It was you, Fredo!)
(One of these guys sounds a lot like Randy Newman!)
There are more - a new one each day. Keep checking!
