How about this little Christmas jingle I made up? :-)

Santa's Little Helper

What a drag it is getting cold
"Kids are different today,"
I hear Father Christmas say
Santa needs something today to calm him down
And though he's not really ill
There's a big red and green pill
He goes running for the shelter of a Santa's little helper
And it helps him on his way, gets him through the holiday

"Things are different today,"
I hear Father Christmas say
Eating all those milk and cookies' just a drag
So he buys himself a drink that will help him not to think
And goes running for the shelter of a Santa's little helper
And two help him on his way, get him through the holiday

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, he took four more
What a drag it is getting cold

"Parents aren't the same today"
I hear Father Christmas say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a Santa's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, he took four more
What a drag it is getting cold

"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear Father Christmas say
Trying to please all those kids just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a Santa's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy holiday

No animals were harmed in the making of the above post... much.

I'm happy I'm not their neighbour though. Imagine lying and trying to fall asleep in that light. 8-(

No, I don't even recognize the music....

Some people I know checked this out, it was in Ohio (can't recall where off the top of my head). The lights weren't on all night, they shut down the display by midnight or so. The music was over low-power FM radio, and with more selections than is on that clip. They took it down this past season, though, because of all the traffic they were attracting, disrupting the neighborhood.

The music is performed by the Trans Siberian Orchestra...I don't remember the name of the song though.
