O give me a home Where the cockroaches roam And where all the rest of the pests stay Where none ever heard Of hygiene as a word And the junk stays uncollected all year
Home, home in the dumps Where the flies, rats and ickees all play Where none ever heard Of hygiene as a word And the junk stays uncollected all year
Haha, sorry it wasn't a holiday tune... the holiday tune ones didn't quite work out when I was wracking my brains but my family and friends have a weird habit of singing this one around Christmas. Strange people we are. Anyway... we don't have a Christmas one featuring icky critters, but it's pretty funny anyhow:-
Deck The Halls
Deck the halls with pricks and cacti Falalalala lalalala 'Tis the season to be nasty Falalalala lalalala Kill the guppy, torture the puppy Falalalalala lalala 'Tis the season to be freaky Falalalala lalalala.

Oh well!

Sherry has recommended that I sponsor an Ugly Overload Holiday Song Fest, wherein you, the readers, send in your mock-ups of holiday song classics, with the lyrics modified to reflect the focus of this blog: ugly animals, creepy crawlies, heeby-jeebies, etc.
To get us started, Sherry offers us her own creation:
Silver Fish (to the tune of Silver Bells)
City cellars Moldy cellars We have just ventured down To the basement to get things for Christmas Lots of boxes, stacks of boxes I think this one's the tree As we move them we're likely to see...
Silver fish, Silver fish Its Christmas time in the cellar Centipedes, race with ease Soon it will be Christmas Day
Strings of webbing Spider webbing We're disturbing their lairs As we track down our holiday treasures Its disgusting These need dusting 'fore we take them upstairs And along for the ride there will be
Silver fish, Silver fish Its Christmas time in the cellar Centipedes, race with ease Soon it will be Christmas Day
I love the idea. Please feel free to offer your submissions.

Love this song! It's so true of silver fish. Does anyone know if they're all over the US? I've always kinda wondered. We have them here in PA.

(to the tune of Home On The Range)
O give me a home
Where the cockroaches roam
And where all the rest of the pests stay
Where none ever heard
Of hygiene as a word
And the junk stays uncollected all year
Home, home in the dumps
Where the flies, rats and ickees all play
Where none ever heard
Of hygiene as a word
And the junk stays uncollected all year

I like it, Aronwy! Not a Christmas tune, but definitely a classic.
