12/18/09 - Kobi LaCroix

Kobi LaCroix is rather new on the dementia scene but has made a big splash. His commercials for Brutomax are irreverently funny with the insanity of the Worm Quartet. I was very happy to see that he has submitted a song for the Mad Music Archive Christmas Contest. His song is a parody of 'O Christmas Tree' called, "O Christmas Tree" but this one is about the days following Christmas, such as Arbor Day (although I don't think he mentions it directly.)

For more on Kobi LaCroix, check him out on his website The Zen Cavern where you can check out his songs as well as his drawings which are quite stunning. Such talent in the dementia community.

Also make sure to vote. Voting closes REAL soon!



Lyrics
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
You're dead and decomposing
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
Your verdant leaves are brown now
You look pathetic standing there
Your sickly branches going bare
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
Your needles clog the vacuum

O, plastic tree
O, plastic tree
Assembling you is a nightmare
O, plastic tree
O, plastic tree
Your parts are all mislabeled
Instructions all in Japanese
You somehow got Dutch Elm Disease
O, plastic tree
O, plastic tree
You're laced with lead and mercury

O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
By drunkards decorated
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
Your ornaments are beer cans
Your tinsel's all been torn to shreds
Your angel topper has no head
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
The dog has marked his territory

O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
Gratuitously shiny
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
You scream to cats, "Destroy me!"
Your lights are wired improperly
You start on fire randomly
O, Christmas tree
O, Christmas tree
Next year you'll be a compost heap.
