I've got an idea. Stop me if this sounds too crazy, but I think it could be fun. Some of you have been asking for a group sing. Well why don't we make We Wish you a Merry Christmas/We Wish George Would Finish Writing into one. What I'm proposing is that who ever wants to participate records themselves singing the lyrics below and then emails me an mp3 file ( kyle@podcastoficeandfire.com) and I will layer all the audio tracks on top of one another and we'll have a song to send to George. Would this work? I've never tried anything like that. Stop me if you know it's not going to work, but I think it could be something really cool sounding.
Here are the lyrics.
To the Tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We wish George would finish writing Our passions he's been igniting The fans can be a little frightening We're just slightly obsessed.
Did Ramsay get his yet, Will Jon Snow pull through? I hope Dany and Drogon Burn Victarion's Crew
We wish George would finish writing Dragons ended before the fighting Spoiler chapters are so delighting Cuz these cliffhangers Suck
For now there's group re-reads And Amin's crazy theories But We'll die if you're out-paced By the HBO series.
WE WISH GEORGE WOULD FINISH WRITING Fingernails we have been biting A release Date would be exciting I Guess you just can't rush art.
And here is the music you should sing along to.

OMG!!! That sounds epic! Count me in - but I can only record and save to a wma file is that ok?
Would it be ok to have one person record it so we can all sing at the same cadence?
wma should be fine. I have a converter so it should be good.
That's why I posted the youtube video so everyone could sing along to the same version at the same tempo. My music vocabulary is a bit shoddy though. Perhaps I'm not sure what cadence is. If someone wants to sing a version and put it up so that everyone has some else to sing along with then go right ahead.

Aye, aye, sir! Done. It was a surprisingly easy process. My wobbly vowels are hoping to get lost in the crowd, and my emphatic consonants are hoping that they were near enough to the right times.

Got it Tom. Sounds great. Can't wait to piece all of these together!

Damn this song is a bit harder than I first thought. I've gotten a few files from you guys so far and it sounds great.
This may make it easier for some of you. Listen to the file below and just sing along with me. Please sing better than me. But this will help as all be in sync.
I don't know if it's possible to embed an mp3 on the forum, but just click the link below and it'll take you to my rough version of the song.
It gets tough around the end. the HBO series part is a killer.
In case it helps, here's an edit I just did of the words for my own convenience, showing some stressed syllables in uppercase, the rushed parts with stars, and the drawn-out parts with dashes, and moving the line break before the tricky 'hbo'.
We WISH George would finish writing Our PASSion he's been igniting The fans*can*be a little frightening We're just slightly obSESSED.
Did RAMsay get his yet, Will Jon Snow pull through? I*hope DANy and DROgon Burn VicTArion's Crew
We wish George would finish writing Dra-GONS end*ed before the fighting Spoiler CHAPters are so delighting Cuz these cliffhangers SUCK
For NOW there's group rereads And Amin's cra-a-azy theories But we'll DIE if you're out-paced by The hbo series.
We WISH George would finish writing FingerNAILS we have been BITing A reLEASE date would be exciting I guess you just can't rush art.
I will get this done as soon as the lunacy of our family xmas is over - which should be the day after boxing day - is that too late?
Sure you can still send it. I'm learning a lot trying to put everything together. That combined with the holidays and I'm running a bit behind so you've still got time.

Yes, valiant effort Kyle. That was a bold move, volunteering to do something that you currently did not know how to do. The final product certainly brought a smile and it was much appreciated.
