CiJ Create A Jingle Contest

Postby Jellybeanjoe » Tue Jul 03, 2012 7:59 am

Welcome to the Christmas in July, Christmas Jingle Competition!

This fun competition was included for the poor souls like me, who's artist colouring skills can sometimes leave much to be desired.

The whole point of this competition is pretty simple. Using a known Christmas carol or jingle tune, write your own jingle!

When presenting your jingle, please make sure you state the original carol/jingle you used. Makes it easier to judge just how catchy it is ;)

Here's my example from last year:

Lalala, lalala, Christmas is really here! Oh what fun it's sure to bring in the middle of the year! Hey!
(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! Hey!)


Starting date: NOW!
Ending date: July 21

Rules:
* Don't plagiarize from other players. The idea of this competition is to exercise your creativity (and keep in mind that I have last year's entries still! Please create new jingles, rather than re-use old ones :) )
* General Rules apply! Read and follow them!
* You may enter more than once. However you will only get one token for participating, and only one entry will be considered for the top prizes (whichever the judges choose ;))

Prizes
Winners will be decided by myself and a select few others.

1 Token - participating
2 Tokens - being a finalist
3 Tokens - Runner up
3 Tokens + "Master" title (3 tokens) - winner

Let's keep this thread ONLY for entries that have been submitted. No discussion please!

Good luck! Looking forward to see what you guys get stuck in my head :D

You know Basher and Lancer and Homet and Mixon, Romet and Lupid and Ponner and Plitzen.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixon, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall? The most famous elf of all?
But do you recall? The most famous reindeer of all?

August the red hair elf
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had some very fiery hair.
Had a very shiny nose
In fact if you ever touched it,
And if you ever saw it
You wouldn’t believe it was there.
You would even say it glows

All of the other elves
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names.
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor August
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any elf games.
Play in any reindeer games

Then one very dark Christmas Eve
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
Santa came to say:
“August with your hair so bright
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you ride in my sleigh tonight?”
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the elves loved him
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they all shouted out with glee,
And they shouted out with glee
August the red hair elf
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You’ll go down in history.
You'll go down in history!"

I'll do one from my favorite Christmas song, "Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer"

Jingle:

VHR has Christmas in July, it seems like we have it every year.
Grandma got ran over by a reindeer, walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

If you think you could come with more fun,
You can say there's no such things as Santa,

but Jelly does this show like number 1!
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Here comes Jelly!
Here Comes Santa Claus!
Here Comes Jelly!
Here Comes Santa Claus!
Right Down VHR lane!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
All her ponies, and other animals
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the reins
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, VHRians singing
Bells are ringing, children singing;
It's time for Christmas in July
All is merry and bright.
Close your eyes and wish for good luck
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Jelly Comes tonight.
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here Comes Jelly
Here comes Santa Claus!
Here Comes Jelly
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down VHR lane
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
There is a stable filled with gifts
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
For the players of VHR
for the boys and girls again.
Here the bells ring and ring
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
It's Christmas in July!
What a beautiful sight.
Everyone is filled with joy
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
Cause Jelly comes tonight!
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

My jingle goes to the Chipmunks Christmas Song:

Christmas in July has come,
Christmas, Christmas time is near,

I know some have worked a ton.
Time for toys and time for cheer.

We donate and wait our turn,
We've been good, but we can't last,

Patience Lion, watch and learn.
Hurry Christmas, Hurry fast.

Hope we all can make it on,
Want a plane that loops the loop,

to our party trivia-thon.
Me, I want a Hula-Hoop.

So much fun on VHR,
We can hardly stand the wait,

come join us; near and far.
Please Christmas don't be late.

Well here is mine it is to the tune of jingle bells

Christmas in July
Dashing through the snow
It’s a fun time of the year
In a one horse open sleigh
O’ Making Jingles sing
O'er the fields we go
And Jelly is the queen
Laughing all the way
Making everything a go
Bells on bob tails ring
Working hard all year
Making spirits bright
To bring us all the joy and fun
What fun it is to laugh and sing
In a Christmas in July song
A sleighing song tonight

Oh Vhr , Vhr
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Vhr is on today
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to play
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With my horses everyday
In a one horse open sleigh
Vhr, vhr
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Vhr everyday
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to play
Oh, what fun it is to ride
With my horses everyday Hey!
In a one horse open sleigh

Away in VHR
Away in a manger
Where the players all play
No crib for His bed
With ponies and goodies
The little Lord Jesus
To event and to crave
Laid down His sweet head

Then Jelly comes along
The stars in the sky
Every year in July
Looked down where He lay
With presents and games
The little Lord Jesus
To play and enjoy
Asleep on the hay

Every year it gets better
The cattle are lowing
New wonders and fun
The poor Baby wakes
Jelly and her elf
But little Lord Jesus
Have so much work to be done
No crying He makes

They work hard for us
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
To make fun for all
Look down from the sky
For the VHRians
And stay by my side,
That appreciate it all.
'Til morning is nigh.

well shoot... perfect stride totally picked the same song as me... :lol:

oh well, I am still allowed to use it, right?


Away in my game world,
Away in a manger,
not ready for bed,
No crib for His bed
Zimmy sits counting
The little Lord Jesus
The dyes in her head.
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
The stars in the bright sky
Are most likely there
Looked down where He lay
But Zimmy is training
The little Lord Jesus
And quite unaware.
Asleep on the hay

The pixels are waiting,
The cattle are lowing
Zimmy heeds the call,
The poor Baby wakes
Not picking or choosing,
But little Lord Jesus
But hoarding them all.
No crying He makes

I love thee, VHR,
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
While years do pass by,
Look down from the sky
Always by my side,
And stay by my side,
In you we confide.
'Til morning is nigh.

Stay near me, my friends here,
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I hope that you stay,
I ask Thee to stay
On virtual ranches,
Close by me forever
Where we happily play.
And love me I pray

Bless the friends made here,
Bless all the dear children
Though so far apart,
In Thy tender care
We sing here together,
And take us to heaven
One mind and one heart.
To live with Thee there

Said Jelly to herself one day
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you know what I'll do?
Do you see what I see?
Said Jelly to herself one summer day
'Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you know what I'll do?
Do you see what I see?

I'll give, I'll give
A star, a star
To the people of VHR
Dancing in the night
Gifts that bring smiles so large!
With a tail as big as a kite
Gifts that bring smiles so large!
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the summer air to the great Jelly
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you know what time it is?
Do you hear what I hear?
It is getting hotter everyday
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy
Do you know what time it is?
Do you hear what I hear?

July! July!
A song, a song
It's Christmas in July!
High above the tree
People sing with joy!
With a voice as big as the sea
People sing with joy!
With a voice as big as the sea

Posted Jelly to the VHR forum
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Christmas in July is here!
Do you know what I know?
Trivia and Find A Word, Forum
In your palace warm, mighty king
Christmas in July is here!
Do you know what I know?

We read, we read
A Child, a Child
and can't believe it's here
Shivers in the cold
we've been waiting for this all year
Let us bring Him silver and gold
we've been waiting for this all year
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the people of VHR today
Said the king to the people ev'rywhere
I know what I want!
Listen to what I say!
I'm so glad we don't have to pay!
Pray for peace, people ev'rywhere
I know what I want!
Listen to what I say!

That horse, that horse!
The Child, the Child
The one with the great stats
Sleeping in the night
Thanks Jelly for offering that!
He will bring us goodness and light
Thanks Jelly for offering that!
He will bring us goodness and light

Chestnuts running through the open fields,
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Frosty stallion nipping at the air
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide ponies nickering in the barn
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And expectant mares bundled in blankets.
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows some apples and sugar cubes
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make ponies fat and sassy
Help to make the season bright.
tiny colts with their eyes filled with curiosity
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Find it easy to run and play at night
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know if they buck and kick
They know that Santa's on his way;
they won't get lots of goodies in their tray
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mothers foal is going to nicker
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if people really are nice
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
So I am telling you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
From horses aged one to thrity- two
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although you have heard it before
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Be merry and nice to horses one and all.
A very Merry Christmas to you

Need Three Tokens....

Here we come a-wassailing
Here we come a-galloping
Among the leaves so green,
Along the beach so clean
Here we come a-wand'ring
Here we come a-larming
So fair to be seen.
The ponys all in pink.
Love and joy come to you,
Dirt and grime stuns the view,
And to you your wassail, too,
And to you comes bed bugs too,
And God bless you, and send you
But no matter, its xmas in july.
A Happy New Year,
Its xmas in july

We are not daily beggers
We are the dirty country ones
That beg from door to door,
That have never swam before
But we are neighbors' children
So if we start'a drowning
Whom you have seen before
Please pull us to the shore
Love and joy come to you,
Floaties and Towels come to you
And to you your wassail, too,
and to you some presents too
And God bless you, and send you
But no matter, its xmas in july.
A Happy New Year,
Its xmas in july


haha. My sad attempt at a jingle. Ending is a bit off perhaps.. :lol:
