I noticed my old Mr. Coffee kicked the bucket while I was trying it out before my parents came over for Christmas Eve, so I bought a new one. Unfortunately, Target didn't have any with copper coffee pots, so I won't be making any proper cups of coffee with it. (I don't think my $20 budget would have allowed for it anyways :) Hopefully my parents don't react as strongly as the Sultan :)
Notes on the song: I got through pretty well, no? I couldn't find the lyrics to the Andrews Sisters version that my rendition is based off of, so I had to pick them out by listening.
- LaVerne, Maxene, and Patricia definitely don't sing "his servant Kersia" as most online lyrics sheets have it, but I can't tell what they refer to her as. I sang "... he said to his wives, 'O Kersia'"
- I thought I nailed the first "curse ya, curse ya, Kersia" when I sang it, but it listening to it again, it sounds like three "curse ya"s. Oh well.
- The other flub: the second verse lists glass and brass as the inferior coffee pots, not glass twice. Luckily my Mr. Coffee is made of glass, so maybe the repetition makes sense in context? :)
