Today's song is "Adeste Fideles," otherwise known as "O Come All Ye Faithful." What a beautiful, triumphant song this is! This is one that I can never help singing at the top of my lungs, whether my children are happy about it or not.
And then there's my favorite parody version (Bob Rivers, of course):
Oh come all ye Grateful Deadheads to the concert.
Oh come Grateful Deadheads and camp in the street.
Bring rolling papers, don't forget your sleeping bags.
Oh come get us some floor seats.
We followed them for four weeks.
Oh come get us some floor seats, to see the Lord.
Come all ye hippies, throwbacks to the '60's.
Paint flowers on your van and don't wash your feet.
Wear your bell-bottoms and your tie-dyed t-shirts.
Oh come let us adore them. We quit our day jobs for them.
Oh come let us adore them. Garcia's the Lord.
LOL! We're learning it in Latin to sing for Gram. John mumbles it beautifully. James can belt it out, but unfortunately cannot carry a tune to save his enthusiastic little soul. This is what happens when I try to teach music...
