AF Christmas Carol 2016-Lyric Suggestions

[emjay]

I like your 2-4's... sticky posts, broken links (well I don't like broken links but you know what I mean ), maybe just "stupid polls" without the 'more' for syllable count, walls of text, and 5 brand new threads. The word Mafia looks like it's got too many syllables to fit in anywhere. And of the others, flamers flaming and maybe "double postings" plural would sound a bit better in context?

About the number of syllables, if you speak on each half note, as opposed to one syllable per whole note, you can fit a lot more in.  

For instance, each number word (two, three, four) you sing it for 2 beats.  Then the next word is sometimes one syllable like French, where again you hold it for two beats, but it can be 2 syllables like Turtle.  Now in the original, the third word is always one syllable, but you still hold it for two beats, so there is room for 2 syllables without cramming.
So each line one through four goes titi titi titi.  We will never use the second beat in the first note, but we have as few as 2 and as many as 4 total syllables to use for the rest of the line with no problem.  
This is all just for 2, 3 and 4.  So, 5 more stupid polls does fit (More stupid polls is 4 syllables, try and sing it, it fits fine), but would also be fine without the "more", as the original uses 2 or 3 syllables and a rest at the end.

For Mafia, again you COULD fit mafia games in, it's 4 syllables, however, I think it would be advisable to not over-pronounce Mafia, like Maf-EE-ah would sound silly (but it still fits!) 
However, you could say it more like Maf-Ya, 2 syllables.  I think that also actually sounds fine.

I agree with the double postings.  Doesn't make sense unless it is plural.

Sounds too complicated for me... I'll defer to your musical knowledge. So I've just got to start thinking titty, titty, titty... like that's gonna happen but I'll try to bear it in mind Yeah you're right... five more stupid polls does sound alright. Cool, at least this gives us a lot more to work with

Who's going to end up picking which ones to use?  
I'm curious how the rest of this will work.  Will those of us who want to sing a line get to pick a line, or get assigned a random one?  We need to sing it in the same key, like send out some Karaoke version.  ??

Perhaps we should just all sing the whole thing and then tibs can splice it as he sees fit?
