Christmas 45's - Wreck The Halls With Boughs Of Holly - The Three Stooges

Here's a funny parody of the song Deck The Halls by the Stooges, Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe from 1959 on Golden Records.
LYRICS:
Spoken:
M: 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town
Everything's coming loose; everything's falling down
(sounds of things falling and crashing)
Be careful with that holly!
L: Don't nail anything to the wall, I'm warnin' ya. Use Scotch tape; Scotch
tape is better!
C: For paper, it's good. For holly, it's rotten!
M: Watch out what you hang on that chandelier; it's not strong!
C: Tinsel. Tinsel. It's only tinsel.
L: It's too MUCH tinsel!
C: What harm could one more teensy weensy piece of tinsel do? Here, let me
show you...there. See? AHHHHHH! (chandelier crashes)
M: Though we hang our gay decorations with care,
L: The whole house is a mess,
M: and we cry in despair!
ALL: (crying, then singing:)
Don't wreck the halls with boughs of holly.
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Decorating can be folly.
Fol-ly-fol-ly-fol-ly-fol-ly-fol
(more crashes)

(Spoken:)
M: I _told_ you it wouldn't hold! You wouldn't listen! (SLAP!)
C: Oooh, that hurt!
M: No, it didn't! THIS one will hurt! (SLAP!)
C: OOOOW! Hey, you're right!

(Sung:)
ALL: Holly leaves are sharp like stingers
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Handle them with dainty fingers
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

(Spoken:)
C: Ooh, my finger! It's bleedin'!
M: Serve ya right; I _told_ you it was sharp!
The bush is not straight!
L: It's leaning.
M: It's too much decorations on the left side!
L: No, it's NOT ENOUGH decorations on the left side!
C: You're BOTH wrong; it's not enough on the top! Here, I'll show ya!
L: No, no, don't put anything more on the top!
M: Come down from there! Watch out what you're doin'!
C: Oooh! Whoa!
L: It's dangerous! I'm warnin' ya, I'm tellin' ya it's...
M: TIMMM-BERRRRRRRRRR! (bush and Curly crashes)
C'mon, Larry, let's get Curly Joe out from under that bush again.

I had this record as a child, and found it hilarious! I don't recall what was on the other side, but it seems it was some sort of "Jingle Bells" parody, perhaps involving an old car...Does anyone remember?

[Ne14Gr8Music]

@NadaTall It is a Jingle Bells parody. I might add it for this Christmas. :-)

[Wormwoods1066]

"Tinsel, tinsel, it's only tinsel!" That's what Christmas is about. Thanks for this.

[Ne14Gr8Music]

@Wormwoods1066 Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Ha! Translating sight gags to sound gags... they gave it the old college try!

LOVE the 3 stooges!! Thanks Lloyd!

I was actually looking for the angry birds song "wreck the halls"

[electronmusicjunkie]

Rhino record did release all 6 of the 3 Stooges Christmas sides on vinyl. For some reason this selection was longer and not edited like this 45. This album was released back in 83 I believe.

@Ne14Gr8Music Jingle Bell Drag.



[eschborn317]

yup I wore this one out so many years ago

[NadaTall]

@Ne14Gr8Music That would be fun; thanks! :)

Lloyd, this is great. Reminds me of the year our cat jumped into the Christmas tree and knocked it down! The Stooges could do some real damage trying to decorate a tree. Thanks for posting! Loretta
