Merry Xmas and a little-sing-along

I've just heard, at the above link, what must be the next to worst rendition of a Christmas carol ever. It's not that the singer goes somewhat sharp and/or flat - that's a mistake most people would make. But a version where the singer seems neither to have heard a reasonably competent rendition of the song (even piped department store Christmas music qualifies) or have listened to the recording before putting it online (or worse, both) is unforgivable.

A transcription of what the song sounds like:


Sigh-hi learn nide (As in 'Cyanide')
Holy night
All'ris cum
All is bride

Row (Pronounced as in "we had a row" [quarrel]) your Virgin marder and chow
Holy infant (The syllables here are also matched to the wrong notes) tender and mull
Sleep in heaverly piss
Slee heap in heaverly peace


If I wasn't already familiar with the lyrics of this song, I'd send this to The Misheard Lyrics Hall of Fame.

There are two other songs there (Jingle Bell Rock and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer), but as of the time of writing the links are broken, and I can't bear to listen to them enough times to transcribe the lyrics as they are sung (trust me, she sings all the carols badly).

Oh, and in case anyone asks, the worst rendition of a Christmas carol ever is "Slow Rockin Christmas" by a group from Swanson Middle School.

Finally, in the spirit of the meme, I commissioned another version of Silent Night to participate in it (in a manner of speaking).

The pronunciation in the above rendition is probably only slightly better than "Mrs Lim"'s, but for different reasons
