The Drugged Up Christmas Song (Parody Lyrics)

I just happened to have had time to finish this Christmas project now, in February, so I’m posting it rather than waiting till next Christmas and forgetting.

If not, watch the one below. It’s about 191K above a billion when I just watched it Thu night, Dec 22 2016… then went to post this. 🙂

I wonder how many other videos out there have over a billion views…

Enjoy!

Here’s a simple and fun Facebook meme idea as you reflect back on your year. Think about some themes, big events, important memories and such for your year, and pick a song that describes each, with a little description, to share. An example for me would be a lot of unexpected reunions with people in my past, of whom I thought of fondly, through chance events. As a result, I might pick Continue reading
