Christmas-y Quiz!

[moonbeamsfanfic]

Okay, so the library gets really quiet around the holidays and to stave off boredom the bosses have given us this quiz to figure out. There's chocolate (of the lovely Bernard Callebaut variety, yum!) in the offering as a prize to the first person who can complete it correctly.

Hence, I decided to cheat. ;P


Instructions: Below is a list of traditional and modern Christmas songs -- with a twist. Their titles have been rewritten. Your job is to decipher which song each one is based on the clue provided. Some songs may appear twice.

Ex: "Decorate The Entry-Ways" = "Deck The Halls"


1. The Apartment of Two Psychiatrists
2. The Lad is a Diminutive Percussionist
3. Sir Lancelot Has Laryngitis
4. A B C D E F G H I J K M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
5. The Smogless Bewitching Hour Arrived
6. Exhuberation To This Orb
7. 288 Yuletide Hours
8. Do You Perceive The Same Longitudinal Pressure Which Stimulates My Auditory Sense Organs?
9. The Red Man Is Due To Arrive In Our City.
10. Stepping on the Pad Cover
11. Uncouth Dolt Has His Beezer In The Booze And Thinks He Is A Dark Cloud's Boyfriend
12. Far Back In A Hay Stack
13. Leave And Do An Elevated Broadcast
14. Behold! I Envisioned A Trio Of Nautical Vessels!
15. Listen, The Winged Messengers of The Lord Are Proclaiming Tunefully

23. We Are Kong, Lear, and Nat Cole
24. Cup-shaped Instruments Fashioned Of A Whitish Metallic Element
25. Oh, Small Middle-Eastern Urban Center
26. Our Fervent Hope Is That You Thoroughly Enjoy You Yuletide Season
27. Parent Was Observed Osculating An Unshaven Teamster With A Red Coat

16 is "While shepherds watched their flocks by night".

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ::only four left to go::

Feel free to guess the others for fun, too. I only need these five four (yay!) more because quickly because the competition is hot right now. *eg*

[redwolf]

Google tells me:

1. The Nutcracker Suite
4. The First Noel
10. Up On The Rooftop
11. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Seriously, Rudolph? How does anyone get Rudolph out of that!?

The Nutcracker Suite suddenly makes sense though. One of my coworkers tried to give me hints about that one, but I couldn't even figure it out when she practically drew a picture of it. We'll call that a blonde moment, shall we? ;)

(Let's add a Freudian Slip to that Blonde Moment, m'kay? ::facepalms::)

[redwolf]

Uncouth [Rude]

Dolt Has [Make what you want of this bit]

His Beezer In The Booze [Red Nose]

And Thinks He Is A Dark Cloud's [Rain]

Boyfriend [Dear]

It's a serious stretch.

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Dark Cloud's Boyfriend = Rain Dear?!?

Oh hell, there's no way I could have gotten that one on my own. Stretch doesn't even begin to cover it. Thanks for the help, Wolf!

2. The Little Drummer Boy
5. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
6. Joy to the World
7. The Twelve Days of Christmas
8. Do You Hear What I Hear?
9. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
12. Away in a Manger
15. Hark the Herald Angels Sing
17. Let it Snow
20. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
23. We Three Kings
25. Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
27. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Just off the top of my head. *g* I'll have to work on the rest. I love these sorts of quizzes!

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

14. I Saw Three Ships
3. Silent Night
21. All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

Still working. :D

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna use your list to double-check mine. So make sure you get them all right, vespurrs!

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Pssh, I'm working on it, I'm working on it! :P

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

24. Silver Bells
26. We Wish You A Merry Christmas
22. O Come All Ye Faithful

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

28. God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen
13. Go Tell It On The Mountain
18. Oh Holy Night

Erm. I think that's it? o_O

Sorry. I got a bit over-enthusiastic there. :/

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Yay! And I had all the same answers you did, too! \o/

Alas, it's already too late to win the contest as another coworker finished a few hours ago, but it was fun nonetheless. Thanks for playing with me! XD

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Rassum Frassum! But yay for right answers! :D

Hee, I had fun. Dredged up a lot of memories, and kicked a few brain cells into gear!

Also, Dean icon ftw. :D

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

I'll give this for the SPN fans, they sure know how to make a lot of icons! There's so many to choose from, it's hard to limit myself to just a few gems.

My only problem is that I'm having trouble finding icons from fandoms other that Supernatural or, god forbid, Gossip Girl. Where are all the Bones icon-makers? Arg!

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Oh hells yeah. TOO many. *shakes head*

... Okay, I admit it, I have no clue, as I've never gone searching for those. ;)

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, I just found a bunch at angelspike_art -- plus she's got some great Buffy & Angel icons too. ;P

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Well there you go! See? Seek, and ye shall find. *g* Especially on LJ! I just found a WIGGLES fanfic community OMG.

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

What can you say? The intarwebs are both amazing and scary! LOL!

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Hold me. *clings*

And BWAH, Animal! :D

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

I'm totally using this conversation to show off all my pretty new icons, you realise this, yes? :)

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I do now.

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Hee! Okay, last one, I'll stop now. Promise. XD

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

*laughs* But an awesome icon indeed. :D I'd love to have a day like that myself. :P

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Crap, I lost it and then it mysteriously came back again. What the heck?

Can you see the Dawn icon now, Vespurrs? Hmm... wonder if I'm uploading them too fast. (But I still have over a 100 spots to fill!)

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

I see it. :) And it could be LJ's little icon glitch. Other people can see the icons fine, but to you it looks like some of them have been replaced with others. I don't think even LJ knows quite what's going on, but several people I know have complained about it so they know there's a problem.

LOL, I love having a lot of icon slots, but then I tend to only use a handful anyway so sometimes I don't know why I bother paying extra for it. You have a permanent account, right?

[moonbeamsfanfic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have a permanent account thanks to redwolfoz feeling especially generous one day. It keeps adding more and more icon space, so I'll probably never catch up.

But it is kinda fun to try! :D

[vespurrs.livejournal.com]

Sweet. :D

LOL, it's a goal in life!
