Weekend Challenge - Lyrics that won't be heard in this weekend's Christmas concert (except one!)

[cmk418]

This weekend marks the annual Christmas concert for my church. It’s been a strange year with us losing our longtime choir director in September and several choir members as a result. Our small but mighty group has been feeling our way through the music with the help of three interim directors with distinctly different styles and will hopefully deliver a wonderful experience to all who attend. All that to say, that this weekend’s challenge features a selected lyric from 39 songs that didn’t make the cut for the program and 1 that did.

The regular rules apply- pick a number or numbers from 1 to 40 or ask for a random selection and I’ll give you the corresponding prompt. (Let me know if you want me to give you the song title as well or if you want to try to guess where it’s from.) Write 200 words or do some art by the time the next weekend challenge is up and I’ll reward you with a drabble or words to my WIP.

Happy writing!

I'll take 7 and 19 please, WITH the song titles.

[cmk418]

I'm only giving the title for 19 because 7 is obvious.

7. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

19. Can't believe that this is happening - You Make Me Feel Like Christmas

[bk_forever]

So true! I recognised that one right away, but I don't know the other song. It's a good lyric for my characters though...

Thank you!

[cmk418]

As I was going through the list (Spotify's Christmas Hits, in case you were wondering), some of the lyrics I chose don't exactly jump out in the song and the one for "You Make Me Feel Like Christmas" was one of them. Glad they'll work for you!

[bk_forever]

I think the ones that aren't immediately obvious can sometimes be the best. The too familiar ones have all been done before ;)

I'm considering whether I can combine them into one fic... I think it might work, we shall see =)

[bk_forever]

Done! I combined it with another challenge, so the fic is posted there.

Nicely done. What would you like for a reward?

[bk_forever]

Add some words to a WiP, please!

[cmk418]

Can do. I've got one I'll be working on for the next couple of days that's due tomorrow. You'll be the ending.

[bk_forever]

WoooT! Good luck with that!

32. We're gonna have a party tonight - from "Merry Christmas, Everyone"

[fairyniamh]

1 random with title, please?

[cmk418]

Here we go:

9. I want you to know that I'm never leaving - from "Snowman" by Sia

Have fun!

[cmk418]

Awesome! How can I reward you?

[fairyniamh]

Just continue being awesome.

[helsinkibaby.livejournal.com]

Can I try 7 and 28 please?

[cmk418]

Sure!

7. It's the most wonderful time of the year

28. Do you know what I know? from "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (And the only lyric on this list that will be sung at the concert tomorrow night. Despite my efforts, we still won't be singing "Mistletoe")

Happy writing!

May I have two random picks with titles, please?

[cmk418]

Here you go:

3. Tell me, baby, do you recognize me? - from "Last Christmas"

33. If he only knew what he does to me - from "8 Days of Christmas"

Have fun!

All good wishes for your event! :). Hope that it will prove to be fun and a success.

I'd take one title, please- any random one not assigned yet.

[cmk418]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. It's going to be a good time.

Here's your prompt:

39. Sometimes in a dream, you appear - from "2000 Miles"

Good luck!
