Ok, so I am late and trying to entice you all into a contest that should have been launched a month ago. The idea hasn't changed from the previous post I made about it. I am trying to get some special prizes for the contest. As of right now, the prizes will be money. Boring you say? Surely you jest. What can't be done with good old fashioned greenbacks (well, they aren't exactly green anymore, and I am partial to the gold coins myself.) I am thinking $25 for first, $15 for second and $5 for third. The plans also include recording and posting the winning entries on youtube with McKenzie singing them. Oh yeah, here is where to send your entry ChristmasSong@horror-web.com

To be honest, when I first thought of the idea of rewriting songs, I wasn't sure where to go with it. I talked with my kids and they loved the idea. McKenzie went with me to get Chinese food and we talked about it. As we talked I realized that rather than being a general song it might be more fun to make it very specific. Rather quickly I began adapting Winter Wonderland to a Dexter based song.

It took me in the neighborhood of an hour to redo the lyrics. So this won't be a very in depth process for you to enter. Here is my sample. And remember, you need to read it in "tune" with Winter Wonderland. May have an audio clip posted on youtube in the next day or so.

Blood drops drip, are you watchin?
In the bay, bags are sinkin.
A beautiful sight, a drop on a slide,
and sailin on a humid summer night.

Gone away...the ice truck killer
Time to hide from Agent Lundy
He chooses a knife and then takes a life
Huntin down the people who must die

In the court he can find a killer,
then pretends that he is arthur mitchell
He'll say "Who'd ya kill?" and we'll say "no one"
But Harry's Code helped to bring you down

Every day, he'll perspire
while the world, gets more dire
to face unafraid, the kills that he made
murderin the killers of the land!

Bloody MonkeyZ
