Sure fire way to make a fortune and never have to work again. |

Write a Christmas song hit. Ok, admittedly, the hit part may be somewhat difficult, but how hard can it be to work "bells," "jingle," and "snow" into a song and have it sell like crazy? I can think of at least a dozen that use one or more of those words and that radio stations are forced to play every year over and over and over and over. And if you wait long enough, someone else will cover the original and then you'll start getting royalties off of two versions of a song that gets played over and over and over on hundreds or thousands of radio stations worldwide from October 31st on.
Maybe we should all collaborate on such a song here and split the royalties? Anyone game?

1. Given popular taste these days I'm not sure bells, jingle and |
|
snow need to be in the lyrics. Blitzen, eggnog and a cheatin' heart may be all it takes.

(Between me and you, you've more song-writing talent than kdusa. But we have to work "furry furry furry"--or was it "flurry flurry flurry?"--into it. Maybe he won't find out.)
PS: Or she.

Give me bells Give me bells Ringa dinga dinga
Give me snow Give me show Flurry flurry flurry
Give me Santa on a sleigh Give me peace on Christmas Day
Give me bells, give me bells, give me bells.
Now, even if none of my stuff makes it into the song, you owe me money, as part of the team.

4. I'm gonna write a book... |
|
Titled 'How to get rich in 30 days' and in this wonderful, knowledge-filled tomb will be the words "Write a book telling everyone they can get rich in 30 days and sell it for 19.95 on E-Bay"

Incorporate it with my idea and a lot of us will be able to retire.
I live across the street from a Christian elementary school. There are just streams of SUV's in and out of this facility all day. When they pull up to the end of the school drive and stop, they look directly at my window. If we could somehow put an image of the Virgin Mary in my window, they'd be coming for miles to view it. We could charge $25 a person for them to come in and view, say a little prayer, whatever. We could play BurtWorm's Christmas song to enhance the euphoric atmosphere of the whole experience. What do you think? I know, I'm evil, but why can't we profit from this religious madness?

Maybe you could do one in that fake snow spray?
We could record a CD of BurtWorm's song and sell copies. The CD cover art would, of course, feature a photo of the Danocrat Madonna.
And here's a song about her...
"Madonna in the window with that winsome smile You know your baby daddy gave you a special child
Madonna in the window All fundies now shall see of all the houses on the street you came to visit me
Chorus: I'll never wash that window Even if it smears. So you will still be with me At Christmas time next year."

16. My entry, sung to the tune of Silver Bells |
|
Urban highways Exburb highways Traffic slows to a crawl In the air There's a feeling of road rage
People carping People harping As they shop at the mall And above all the discord you hear:
Discount price Aisle Five Just a few days 'til it's Christmas Get 'em now While they're hot Don't let them down Christmas day.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Bah. Humbug.

17. Here's an easier way... |
|
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 08:11 PM by stopbush
Just take any standard religious hymn or Xmas carol, and insert the name "bush" every time you see the words "lord," "Jesus," "Christ" or "God." You can also do variations and combinations:
"O, come let us adore him, Bush our Lord."
The fundies would buy millions of copies...
