Jingle Bells, Batman Smells this Xmas




Misappropriation of words in Hymns has alway been the preserve of the school yard.  But at Christmas the mischievous mind turns to Carols and here are the ones which come to mind, starting with Jingle Bells.



Jingle Bells
Batman Smells
Robin Flew Away

The Batmobile
Lost It's Wheel
On the M6 Motorway

This was, to the best of my memory, how the United Kingdom version went.  The US version was somewhat different:

Jingle Bells
Batman Smell
Robin Laid An Egg

The Batmobile
Lost It's Wheel
And The Joker Got Away

I heard this courtesy of Bart Simpson during an early Christmas episode of The Simpsons.  It's interesting how the two version exist but differ slighlty.
Another was a version of While Shephards Watched Their Flocks By Night.

While Shephards Washed Their Socks By Night
All Seated By The Pot

The Angel of The Lord Came Down
And Stole The Bloody Lot

Very silly...
