Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly: And Other Misheard Christmas Lyrics

Do You Hear What I Hear?"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go drown in Listerine," "We wish you a very crisp mess," and "O come, hoggy faithful." The master of the misheard, Gavin Edwards, author of the bestselling 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy and He's Got the Whole World in His Pants, has done it again, this time with a collection of bungled Christmas lyrics from misguided wassailers. Just in time for the holidays, Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly uncovers some of the most hilarious — and twisted — Yuletide blunders, including:

"Just like the wands I used to know"

("Just like the ones I used to know" — "White Christmas")

"He's making a list, chicken and rice"

("He's making a list, checking it twice" — "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town")

"Olive, the other reindeer"

("All of the other reindeer" — "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

"Round John Virgin"

("Round yon virgin" — "Silent Night")
