Hmmm is anyone here clever enough to come up with some occupy carols that sound like christmas songs but tell the truth about the world's condition? I bet if you came up with a good one it would go viral on youtube.

This is the best f*cking thread I have ever read. Keep this shit going.
Occupy
Dashing through our hopes
As you take our jobs away
Into the streets we go
Chanting all the way
Think you'll rob our things
Take them with no fight
What fun it is to laugh and bring
An Occupy tonight
Oh, Occupy, Occupy, Occu-all the way
Oh what fun it is to shy the one percent away
Occupy, Occupy, Occu-all the way
Oh what fun it is to find the one percent will pay
A month or two ago
We knew we'd occupy
And soon the world turned bright
Occupied by our side
The group was lean and large
Mass occupy the plot
We started at a profit bank
And took our money out
Oh, Occupy, Occupy, Occu-all the way
Oh what fun it is to shy the one percent away
Occupy, Occupy, Occu-all the way
Oh what fun it is to find the one percent will pay, hey!
Fah who for-aze! Dah who dor-aze! Welcome Christmas, Come this way!
Fah who for-aze! Dah who dor-aze! Welcome Christmas, Christmas Day.
Welcome, Welcome Fah who rah-moose Welcome, Welcome Dah who dah-moose Christmas day is in our grasp So long as we have hands to clasp
Fah who for-aze! Dah who dor-aze! Welcome, welcome Christmas Welcome, welcome Christmas Day
Rockin Around The Occupy!
Rockin around, we occupy
At the occu-party hop
Masses come out for all to see
Every copper tries to stop
Camping around, we occupy
Let's break up that old crime ring
Everyone needs some occu-pie
And we'll dare for global change
You will find an optimistic feeling when you hear
voices chanting
Banks got bailed out, and we know that we were sold out
Marching around, we occupy
Let us change the world today
Everyone's marching merrily
To undo old fascist ways
Rockin around, we occupy
Let the one percenters pay
Everyone loves the occu-pie
We're the 99 percent!
You will get a sympathic feeling when you hear
voices chanting
We are staying, we are the ninety nine percent
Rockin around, we occupy
Grab a sign and hit the street
Everyone's joining, you will see
To undo those fascist ways!
Too funny!
Occupy Is Coming to Town!
You better stop now
You better not try
To kick us all out
I'm telling you why
Occupy is coming to town
With a-non-y-mous
We never ask twice
We already know who's naughty and nice
Occupy is coming to town!
We know you jailed Mumia
And played derivatives
We know that you've been bad not good
We have nothing left to give
So, you kicked us all out
And we mulitiplied
We'll continue to shout
We're telling you why
Occupy is growing in towns!
Occupy cannot be put down!
One percenters, you're going down!
((anyone feel free to you tube the ones I put up if you want, I just want to see video if you make em)) The Giant Occupy
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new Movement to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest goals we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
Upon cor-por-ate king, pa rum pum pum pum

And so to stop them, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Worldwide Movement, pa rum pum pum pum
You stole our resources, pa rum pum pum pum
We have no gifts to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
Cause Wall Street owns the wealth, pa rum pum pum pum
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall you pray for more, pa rum pum pum pum
As we drum?
Money plundered, pa rum pum pum pum
The Fox and TV lied, pa rum pum pum pum
And faced with all of this, pa rum pum pum pum
We occupied the beast, pa rum pum pum pum
We took you on at last, pa rum pum pum pum
And then we won
Occupy won
I love this one!
All I want For Christmas
Well I don’t want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don’t care about the presents under the Christmas tree I just want to get justice More then you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is due
I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about the gifts That won’t be underneath the Christmas tree I don't want to overthrow the government There in New York City Sentate won't make me happy With a pork bill on Christmas day I just want justice for my people More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is due
Oh, all the lights are shining So brightly for the 1% (so brightly everywhere) And the sound of children's needing fills the air (ohhh ohhh) And only the 1% are singing I hear those bill collectors bells ringing Santa won't you bring me the one thing I really need Won't you please bring justice for everybody ohhh.
I don't want a lot for Christmas This is all I'm asking for I just want to see Wallstreet pay We’re occupying right outside their door I just want a better world for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is due Justice baby
what a fantastic idea- they could be played by carolers. on Christmas.
Occupy, Occupy
Occupy, Occupy
All have come, things are bright
Down your version of governing style
Holy money, your tender is vile
Sleeping people awake
Sweeping your system away
I will finish this later unless someone else does
I wrote some and you can see/download them here: http://beverlywoods.posterous.com/occupy-carols
prairie home companion reinvented the lyrics this christmas
there's always last year R'OCCUPY WALL STREET
I think this is a great IDEA!!!! Operation Carol!
Are you suggesting people go door to door singing OWS carols?
probably not door to door, but someone will lol
Occupy carols on video via youtube would be good enough. Actual protesters on camera in the snow holding sheet music. That would be awesome!
I would suggest that it could be dangerous to do that in certain parts of the US.
The Youtube thing is fine.
I like this one. Nice idea.

Well, it's strange out there in the real world, you never know what those norms will fall for but it might work!
Do not occupy but find a job instead Oh what fun it would be to earn your own way Work and have some jingle jingle jingle in your pocket The 99% are losers, hey, hey, hey, ho, ho ho
