[Music/Charity '09] Tou-ho-ho Songfest Rules and Entries
Shizumarashi Mayuzumi:
Original: My Favorite Things (recording)
Comments: For those not familiar with the song, it's originally from the musical The Sound of Music, and while not technically a Christmas song it's gained some degree of association with the holiday season due to containing a lot of winter imagery.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
(Repeat all 1x)
Rewrite: My Least Favorite Cards (recording, also attached)
Comments: Despite the implications of the title/lyrics, the cards were chosen not really for difficulty (though I did try to stick with stages 5/6/EX) or personal dislike (even if you don't consider Easy/Normal and Hard/Lunatic name differences, the only EX I even have unlocked in the first place is IN), but just for at least vaguely proper scansion and rhyme and having fun with names.
Silent Selene and Scarlet Gensokyo
Catadioptric and Philosopher's Stone
Ripples of 495 Years
These are a few of the cards that I fear
Zenki and Goki and Motion and Stillness
Phantasm, Foam, Shadow, and Light and Darkness
Waves and Particles and Black Butterflies
These are a few of the cards I despise
Hourai Elixir and Curse of the Heavens
Possessed by Phoenix and Xu Fu's Dimension
Hourai Barrage up through Morning Mist
And many others, it's quite a long list
When I no-bomb
When I no-vert
When I'm pacifist
I simply remember my least favorite cards
And then I just go "Oh shit"
Misayama Shrine and Virtue of Wind God
Long-Arm and Long-Leg and Houei 4's Red Frog
Star Ritual to Call the Godly Winds
All cards I can't do, much to my chagrin
Ghost Wheels and Dead Ashes, Zombies and Cat's Walk
Id, Super-ego, and Rorschach in Danmaku
Nuclear Fusion and Ten Evil Stars
So many things among my hated cards
Radiant Treasure and Absolute Justice
Blue UFO, Green UFO, Undefined Darkness
Mystic Fragrance of a Makai Butterfly
These are the cards that make me want to cry
When I no-bomb
When I no-vert
When I'm pacifist
I simply remember my least favorite cards
And then I just go "Oh shit"
Shizumarashi Mayuzumi:
Original: Sailor Moon Christmas (recording)
You're getting a link for these lyrics because I had them all done up as a nice table in BBCode like for my rewrite below but apparently I deleted the text file, and damned if I'm doing that over.
Rewrite: Gensokyo Christmas Party (recording, also attached though at 192 kbps instead of 320 due to attachment size limits)
Comments: lol this song sounds so miserably dated. Probably did even when it was new. But I had a few lyric ideas and I ran with it, especially since I figured no one else would do this one. But anyway, I decided to keep the general feel of setting up for a Christmas party and mostly being a series of holiday imagery. Touhou character substitutions were done to fit lyrics as I came up with them rather than to match the original characters.
All:Mangetsu wa
Gensoukyou ni terashiteku
Hoshi-tachi ga matataki hajimeta wa
Minna ga matta ibu yo
The full moon
Shines down on Gensokyo
The stars have begun to twinkle
The eve everyone's waited for
Alice:Marisa mitai na
Kawaii ningyou wo ageru
I'll give a cute doll
That looks like Marisa
Yukari:Sukima wo hirakimashou
Minna wo koko ni tsuretekite
Let's open a gap
And bring everyone here
Yuyuko:Yane wo koeru
Saigyou Ayakashi wo
It passes through the roof
The Saigyou Ayakashi
Suika:Mushou no okashi ga atta koro
Jinja no miko ga kuru
Now that there's free snacks
The shrine's maiden is coming
Cirno:Hinyari heya ni
Ippai no AISHIKURU FOORU!
In this cold room
Full of ICICLE FALL!
All:Paatii wa kore kara
Konya wa ten wo ki ni sezu
Minna e merii Kurisumasu
Gensoukyou ni merii Kurisumasu
Pichun pi pi pichun, danmaku ikioiyoku
Sake ga ochinai yo
From here on out, it's party time
And tonight we won't worry about score
Merry Christmas to everyone
Merry Christmas to Gensokyo
Pichun pi pi pichun, danmaku flying vigorously
Our sake not even drop
Yuyuko:Yosuzume ga
Oi oi oi oishisou...
The night sparrow is
Deli-, deli-, deli-, delicious-looking!
Suika:Osake to tabemono wo ippai dashite

And throw some kind of feast!
Alice:Doko ni iru no

You disappeared into the sky
With the precious thing

Tobinukeru
Houki ni wa Marisa
Minna wo masupa
Merii merii Kurismasu!!From here on out, it's party time
And tonight we'll forget about score
There's a new plan
The ground is covered in bullets
No matter who wins, it'll surely clear
And leave an illusionary world
The stars in the sky
Are spiraling out again
Someone's voice rings out with a "ze"
Above all other sounds
On her broom, it's Marisa
Master Sparking everyone!
Merry, merry Christmas!!
Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch:
I figured someone might want to sing this...
Jingle Bells Original: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvKRHyPj0j8)
Lyrics:
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
-----------------------------------------
Touhou version: Donations (music already provided in previous link)
lyrics
Dashing through patterns
High up in the sky
I make my living
Killing all youkai
Bow up in my hair
Making youkai bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A slaying song tonight
Oh, Donations, Donations
Please donate to me
Oh, I can't go another year
in squalid poverty
Danmaku, Danmaku
Grazing all the way
Sheesh it is a real big pain
to wait until pay day
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a break
and I soon discovered
I had lost my rake
My tea was gone as well
and at first thought Inaba
But post-danmaku battle
Learnt it was Marisa
Oh, Donations, Donations
Please donate to me
Oh, I can't go another year
in squalid poverty
Danmaku, Danmaku
Grazing all the way
Sheesh it is a real big pain
to wait until pay day
Hakurei, Hakurei
Why am I so poor?
I'd really rather not go selling
luck charms door to door
Donations, donations
your clatter I wish to hear
Oh, what a freaking drag it is
To hear nothing all year
triangles:
Here's a sung version of rdj522's We Three Kings Queens awesome lyric rewrite, so all the info needed in is his post. I dropped a few adjective/"little" words here and there and used pronouns for Reimu to fit the rhythm better, but nothing bit enough I think it warrants reposting.
(and now it really shows I have zero singing training oh well :V)

I thought you did great. :V
Yeah, the song really does flow a bit better with the substitutions/drops you made.
