my school's rendition of this was so unnecessarily chaotic.... the choir staged it so it looked like the choir was just improvising and the song wasn't actually supposed to be dark, and our choir director pretended to walk off the stage in frustration after the "drummer" line (they did have an actual drummer walk on stage) and one of the students took his place to conduct the end of the piece. it was beautiful

[@rosalietharp]

that is so fun!

[@Hannah-bb5et]

You think yours is chaotic we hold up a dead chicken at the end

[@choccula4657]

My school did this for a concert. I actually cracked up at the part where one of the students said "Er, actually, I kept one of the drummers..."

[@rainyday389]

Funny thing is in my choir one of the girls says this and shes actually dating one of the drummers in our band

[@indycole396]

I, a man, sang that part in our musical two days ago

[@jasyahjohnson25]

[@feather_fluff_art_n_stuff]

[@lilistealey260]

[@zorak1997]

We sang this in the mid-1980s at my elementary school at the annual holiday concert for parents. Our music teacher changed the ending to "Furthermore your gifts are for the four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree" which I thought was a nice touch musically and lyrically to bring it back to the beginning. Glad to see this version match that as most end with "Furthermore your gifts are for the birds."

[@SheabyRenea]

Jeez, it's been 22 years since our choir sang this. 😊

[@DementedGhost]

We are doing this song for my choir concert

[@ShanTheTeror]

My choir is singing this completely serious to try to shock the parents

[@summermustdie8714]

this is great but pls leave the poor birds alone they did nothing to u

[@danielleologolo460]

We did this song yesterday for my middle school winter choir concert

[@voidedmuffin]

I just got back from my choir concert. One of the all female choirs I'm in(Bella Bo's) sang this. Right before we sang I called out that "This song is dedicated to Low Beux" (The men's choir).

[@angeliquecheung574]

I did this song my freshman year in Beginning Choir for a Christmas Showcase. Everyone would laugh, especially the choir members. Trying to keep a straight face was next to impossible for this song. Ah... memories. Sweet, sweet memories.

[@joshplaysroblox2501]

We are doing this for are chorus concert

[@axek1ller]

im singing this right now in high school chroir! this is my freshman year, and needless to say...this piece is interesting

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Alfred Music Choral Can you PLZ make a version of this song in Ukrainian? How about a Spanish version?

[@kalmac6255]

My elementary school chorus did this in 1977. I haven't thought about it for nearly half a century and something brought it to mind this morning. Thanks. It was very cool to hear it again.

[@mothwithahat]

i'm so upset because i'm doing this song with my high school choir this year and everyone thinks it's lame but i think it's so much fun

[@mitchweisiger5904]

Love this piece but don’t like the orchestration. Like it better with just piano.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

2:49 Well Actually we kept one of the Drummers.

[@swivel3413]

we did this in my choir class and honestly this was a banger, despite what my mom thinks..

[@EmmaSibert-yy9dd]

I just performed this at my winter concert!

[@cynthiagould881]

My 6th grade year we did this (my choir director does it every year with 6th graders) this is one of my favorite songs and I cant wait to listen to the 6th graders this year sing it

[@heatherorsborn]

My high school choir teacher said we have to be completely serious while singing this at the Christmas concert

[@mollie8420]

I have to learn this off by heart because my school choir songs it every year for Christmas and this is my first year in it

[@haroldlindley6620]

My college performed this for 2022. We emphasized some of the words (Like "my true love and I had a >fight

[@0CaptainZer0]

I'm gonna send this for my choir Christmas Program. =)

[@alicialstewart]

One of the choirs at my sons school sang this tonight and I couldn’t stop laughing. Hope that was there intention.

[@kweenkiki4238]

The boys in my middle school sang this for a winter concert

[@MichaelYoder1961]

We sang this in grade 4 choir back in 1970, I don't think we really understood the lyrics at 8 years old

[@queenbee6250]

My choir did this but only the guys the tenor and bases generally I was a little upset I like this song I wish I got to sing it but I didn’t so instead of well actually I kept one of the drummers they said “Actually I kept one of the maids milking “

[@KTSpeedruns]

I first heard this as a men only song from a beginner high school choir. I might prefer this with men only and with faster speed.

[@chloebillman4992]

My principal disapproved for our choir to sing this song to the elementary students lmao

[@saracathcart9424]

the ending tho XD T-T

[@Strawberry_s4life]

Time to go do this is literally 30 mins

[@8oofie]

This is so sad and depressing why

[@drvgsndior]

I find it funny

[@lovememore5786]

I FUDGING LOVE IT

[@kendallguyton5831]

[@xxlovelyzxyt]

Our choir did this I believe last year but didn't do the drummer part. It was a absolutely amazing song though!

[@justsomecrazystuff]

WE'RE DOING THIS THIS YEAR LOL

[@colehan5663]

my choirs doing it for the winter concert

[@Morgan-bb4ys]

My school choir sang this today

[@ericrakestraw664]

I remember singing this in my 7th grade chorus class, but for some reason, we didn't end up performing this at the school Christmas concert. Maybe our teacher thought some of the lyrics about killing animals would be too dark for a middle school program. 😂

[@patrickcoronado-taylor1802]

So many "sang this in my choir" comments. But in my case, I DIDN'T sing this in my grade school choir! I ended up being the only one who practiced long and hard on that song. Everyone else thought it was too hard and decided to cut it at the last minute!

[@cjcvraalten2703]

Fa-la-fxcking-la!!!

[@ryanEstandarte]

Kudos to Frederick Silver!!! I love it and may sing this next year with my choir. Hahaha!

[@cadencestephens2016]

My choir director and I were going through her file cabinets this afternoon and found this. I don't think we've ever laughed so hard.

[@jamiltonforthewin9361]

My show choir did this song and oh boy oh boy was it fun me and my girlfriend kept looking at each other angrily ✌️😌

[@jamessohn3264]

The Women's Choir just did this song at our Christmas Choir Concert! Gonna be listening to this all night!

[@HardyGirl66]

Oh wow! my Jr. Hi choir did this song in 1980! Such memories!

[@laurakemp5979]

Sang it in the early '80's. It is the only "non traditional" choir song from that era for which I remember the words. Happy memories, indeed. 😁

[@erynbishop7759]

We did this last year for my choir concert and during it the fire alarm went off and people started laughing.

[@SouthernRed88]

I remember doing this song in middle school for choir I wish my high school would do it

[@angelakau3533]

We sang this song in middle school choir 40 years ago!

[@faithguthrie6816]

The high school choir in my district did this song. Wish we did it(I’m in middle school)

[@aidapire]

i remember when one of the choirs at my school did this and they added things in and it was one of the most hilarious things and i can't wait to see what they come up with this year when i visit :)

[@froggyongames158]
