Faerietale of Dunshelm (parody of Fairytale of New York)
Posted: 26 Dec 2011, 18:13
Thank you to those of you who've left compliments about my parodies in recent months. I really appreciate you taking the time to share positive feedback. Keep posting your own parodies too: I'm always glad to see others. 
In 1989, Merlin gave Treguard an elf for Christmas. By Christmas 1992, the novelty had worn off. Music video
[Treguard:]
It was Christmas Eve, elf
In the Dungeon
An old man said to me, "won't be alone for this one"
And then he rang a bell
And cast a calling spell
I saw a flash of light
And you were here, sprite
Ever since Series One
It's just been me, just one
I've got a feeling
Next year's for me and you
So happy questing
I like you, Pickle
I can see a better time
When all our teams come through
[Pickle:]
In the Forest of Dunn
I had berries and fun
But the howls go right through you
It's no place for a fae
When you first took me in
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised adventure was coming each day
You were hearty
[Treguard:]
You were witty
Grasped the nitty-gritty
When Welshmen went tumbling
I saw your delight
Gundrada was slashing
And the monk he was smashing
But they'd not have felt like
Assistants so right
[Both:]
The boys of the HOGG choir
Were singing down the mine
And the bells were ringing out
For questing time
[P:] You're an oaf
You're a git
[T:] You're dressed up like a twit
Sitting there on the floor. A repetitive bore
[P:] You windbag, you're knackered
You bloated old blackguard
Now that Red Death is dead
Have a genie instead
[Both:]
The boys of the HOGG choir
Still singing down the mine
And the bells were ringing out
For questing time
[T:] I was fine on my own
[P:] You were too dull alone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
[T:] I kept them with me, elf
I lived not for myself
It won't be for the best
If you're back in the forest
[Both:]
The boys of the HOGG choir
Still singing down the mine
And the bells were ringing out
For questing time
