Genius!

Man, I want some of those sweet credits, too!

With apologies to "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas", which this (loosely) parodies:

"Credit For Christmas"

[Spoken over music]
This Christmas I asked Saint Nick, please
For my present would you get me
The latest Band in a Box 2018
The greatest version that there's ever been
RealTracks™ with Ooohs and Aaaahs
Bring that for me, Santa Claus

[Sung]
But then I saw this post by David Snyder
An ASCAP member, a real songwriter
He wrote a song as Tater Totts
And even floyd jane said he liked it lots

[Chorus]
David's getting credit for Christmas
'Cause he wrote a Holiday song
A song for the season
A time when we are freezing
And that biblical scholars say
We got all wrong
Yes, David's getting credit for Christmas
'cause he wrote a Holiday song

[Verse]
Now, David's song was clever
That's certainly a fact
He sung it and produced it
Using fourteen Real Tracks
But where are the children
And the ringing of the bells?
Tugging on people's heartstrings
Is the stuff that really sells

Sing it, kids!

(Kids sing half-heartedly)
La, la, la,
La, la, la
Daddy wants a free version
Of Band in a Box

[Chorus]
So I'm getting credit for Christmas
'Cause I wrote this Holiday tune
A song that's a copy
And really rather sloppy
Something that I cranked out
In half an afternoon
Yes, I'm getting credit for Christmas
'Cause I wrote a Holiday song

[Bridge, slowly and dramatically]
Now, some might be accusin'
That there could be some confusin'
Because David and I share the same first name
Saying I might get some votes
Riding the tails of his coat
But that's OK
I've got no sense of shame

Once again, kids!

(Sullen kids, more spoken than sung)
La, la, la,
La, la, la,
Daddy's too cheap to buy us gifts.

[Chorus]
So give me some credit for Christmas
'Cause I wrote this Holiday song
A song that's a rip-off
And what was the tip-off?
I'm surprised that you listened to it
For this long
Yes, give me some credit for Christmas
'Cause I ripped off David Snyder's Holiday song

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
