Jingle bells, someone (generally Batman) smells...


As a musical theatre veteran, Debora Krizak has heard her fair share of mis-sung lyrics. Whether they be intentional or an honest mistake, incorrect lyrics are always a laugh.



The Adelaidian will ring in the silly season at Christmas Proms. Soak up the festive spirit and be transported to a time where wishes come true as Debora and Bobby Fox lead everyone in song with all your (correctly sung) favourite Christmas carols. Conducted by Timothy Sexton, the Adelaide Art Orchestra concert series will feature plenty of laughs along the way.

Debora highlights the nine most incorrectly sung lyrics:

1. We three kings of porridge and tar.
2. On the first day of Christmas, my tulip gave to me.
3. Sleep in heavenly peas.
4. He's making a list, chicken and rice.
5. You'll go down in Listerine.
6. Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, I say.
7. Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay.
8. In the meadow we can build a snowman; then pretend that he is sparse and brown.
9. Deck the halls with Buddy Holly.
