Flippy and the C night contrafact

[Judith R Cohen <judithc...>]

Somehow I missed "bagels 'n' bras" but imagining Simon singing his Flippy 
contrafact of "O Holy
Night" , on Fairfax , certainly gets my day off to a smiling start! When my 
sister got married 
2 years ago, Tamar and a friend and I adapted "Bright Morning Star" to sing for 
the occasion;
one of the new verses we introduced, using the same scansion, was,following the 
original:
Bri-ight mooorr-ing stars are ri-i-sin'...
Ma -zal  tov    to  Neil  and Sa-a-ra.....

But only our other sister knew the original and thought it was funny; no one 
else among family
and friends had ever heard of it. 

Our grandp[arents' anniversary was Dec. 25 and it was years before we knew it 
was also Xmas. Now
I have both them AND Flippy to think of... Judith

> "Oh Holy Night", however it ends with " 'C' 
> our savious is born."  When I get to that part, I just substitute "Flippy the
