Christmas Edition Pirate Radio [afternoon]

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"It be almost Christmas, Fandom!" an all-too familiar voice boomed over the radio. "'n in honor o' the occasion, today we'll be playin' all those holiday classics that ye completely loathe."

He laughed. "'n then I'll be settin' that record on fire. We'll be startin' off wit' that bit o' Christmas drivel that showed someone be not payin' attention t' geography: 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' No, Bono, they be not knowing because they be Muslim. Keep up."

Barbossa rolled his eyes. "The lines be open. Tell me what songs ye hate the most!"

Call in!

Feliz Navidad? Christmas Shoes? Marshmallow World? We hate 'em all!

Barney was calling. Possibly tipsy. *ring ring*

"This be the pirate, rant away!" Barbossa replied, taking a swig from his very noggy nog.

Otherwise known as rum.

He didn't see the point in messing up his booze with dairy products.

"If it isn't the gay pirate!" Barney greeted him, remembering their date.

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Only on Wednesdays in October," Barbossa made up. "How ye be?"

Re: Call in!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"Well, I've got my cigar and my drink, but I'm missing a little music," Barney told him. "I hear this is the number to call."

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Ye be hearin' right!" Barbossa said. "What be yer least favorite bit o' holiday music?"

Re: Call in!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"I'm gonna have to go with Last Christmas," Barney said. "The lyrics are just wrong."

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Be that the one where he be givin' someone a body part fer the holidays?" Barbossa asked. "Because if'n yer not Davy Jones, chances are they be not wantin' a heart."

Re: Call in!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm not up with the giving away pieces of myself or getting them from others," Barney agreed. "Sounds like something Ashley Simpson would be up to."

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Or one o' the Spears wenches in exchange fer Cheetos," Barbossa agreed.

Re: Call in!

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

"Oh, those chicks are just interested in stealing your DNA, watch out!"

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"I might be a pirate but I be havin' some standards, thank ye very much," Barbossa said, shuddering and drinking more rum. "For ye, Last Christmas. And remember, children, given pieces o' yerself for a holiday isn't romantic, it's unhygienic."

Jaye had no idea what time it was, what day it was, or where she was, but she was still stuck in her damn field waiting for the damn portal and would it kill wherever she was to put in a damn Starbucks like normal times and places?

So she called the radio, halfway hoping she was calling in the middle of a nightly broadcast.

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"This be the pirate," Barbossa replied. "Tell me a holiday song that ye hate!"

Re: Call in!

[fates_jaye]

Oh, hey, one of these broadcasts. "Feliz Navidad," she said automatically, not even having to question it.

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"Ye mean ye don't like yer holidays multicultural?" Barbossa tsked disapprovingly, then took another hefty belt of rum.

Re: Call in!

[fates_jaye]

"Have you heard that song? If you haven't, and you don't hate it yet, play it on repeat about sixteen times and you'll get what I'm saying."

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Barbossa flipped it on to remind himself, then shuddered. "Aye. Not enough tequila in the world t' make it palatable. We'll set it on fire fer ye, wench."

Re: Call in!

[fates_jaye]

"Oh! Oh! Can you at least singe Little Drummer Boy while you're at it?"

Re: Call in!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

There was a joyful sound of hammering in the background as Barbossa began to sing.

No, they begged me, dun play that damn song...
*bang bang bang bang bang*
Our ears will bleed, dun play that damn song...
*bang bang bang bang bang*

Not quite the right lyrics, no. That had never stopped him before.

Attempt to burn down the studio!

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

The music is bad, ya'll.

OOC

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Why yes, I have been listening to the radio too much. Thanks for asking!

Re: OOC

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Playing Christmas Shoes should be punishable by death.

Re: OOC

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

"If Mama meets Jeeeeeeeeesus tonight..."

Worse. Than. Manilow.

Re: OOC

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Well, yanno - little known fact that Jesus has a "no shirt, no shoes, no salvation" policy.

Re: OOC

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

No, Bono, they be not knowing because they be Muslim.

Yes! Thank you! "And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas." Yes, that's because the climate is wrong. Not because of some warlord. While I appreciate the sentiment of the song, feed the world and all, the words seem like they're implying the chorus should be "Convert the world, let them know it's Christmas." Hee!

Re: OOC

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

I want it to be known that Favorite Things is NOT holiday music. Even if Rod Stewart thinks it is.

Re: OOC

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

I heard that today. It definitely made me go "Bzuh?"

Re: OOC

[fates_jaye]

But it mentions snow. It MUST be holiday music.

Re: OOC

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

I associate it with thunderstorms due to the mooooovie and all!

Re: OOC

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

And brown paper packages tied up with strings. Which as we all know are traditional materials to wrap presents with, provided those presents are of porn.

Re: OOC

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Would you also please tell DC 101 that a non-denominational party wouldn't be called a "Non-Denominational Christmas party"?

Um, hi. Christianity? Totally a denomination.

Re: OOC

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

OMG *hates on DC101* They've been saying that FOR YEARS AND YEARS and I'm so glad there's someone else who hates it! ♥

Re: OOC

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

OMG that drives me crazy!

Re: OOC

[likethegun]

I forgive DC101 a little for destroying Christmas Shoes each year. But yes.

Re: OOC

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

When I was in the DC area, I only listened to DC101 when HFS was on commercial. But now when I go visit my parents, HFS is GONE. No longer on the air. There's NO JUSTICE IN THE WORLD.

Re: OOC

[solo_sword]

Happy X-Mas (The War is Over)?

NOT A GOD DAMN CHRISTMAS SONG.

Re: OOC

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. DESPITE THE NAME IT IS NOT A HAPPY CHRISTMAS SONG. PEOPLE KEEP MISSING THE SARCASTIC NATURE OF THE SONG. WHY? THERE ARE LITTLE KIDS SINGING ALONG "War is over, if you want it!" HOW IS THIS NOT OBVIOUS?

Re: OOC

[fates_jaye]

ALSO.

It's not necessary to play Linkin Park's "My December" at least twice a day every day just because it IS December. I know what month it is now, thank you for informing me.

Re: OOC

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Just because "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree" has been redone by every goddamned body, that does not mean you have to play every version in the same two hour stretch.

*hates on radio*

Re: OOC

[dark_slippy_thing]

Two words.

Christmas Convoy.

Why, Paul Brandt? Why?

Re: OOC

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

But can there ever be enough Twelve Pains of Christmas (http://www.bobrivers.com/player/player.asp?ID=776&SPEED=2&atype=tunes)?

Re: OOC

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

*uploads AWESOME Christmas song to fight the bad ones*

Sarah's Xmas album is also made of win.
