Yuu and the Magical Power of Songs

Yuu Singer, 🎶💎Ramshackle💎🎶 (We wish you a Merry Christmas - Phineas and Ferb Version)

I couldn't think of a better idea for this Christmas than to use "We wish you a Merry Christmas" that they used in Phineas and Ferb… Well. I will do the same for this New Year... This story takes place after the OverBlots; After the near destruction of NRC, Malleus and Yuu combined their magic into a time spell that returned them all to the entrance ceremony to start things off without disaster.

The holidays are the funniest and happiest time of the year for many.

When Yuu first arrived at Twisted Wonderland he didn't imagine the seriousness with which they prepared for each celebration… what he discovered in spring and fall.

And that's not to mention the events that occurred randomly.

Anyway, at this moment the 8 dorm leaders were in a meeting.

"So we agree to decorate everything?" Yuu asked those present, who nodded at his words.

Since for some reason the entire student population wanted to celebrate the holidays at NRC, they needed to vote on whether they would decorate just their dormitories or the entire school.

Azul already had many ideas for the most fruitful season for Mostro Lounge.

"I have many selected items to order." Kalim said excitedly as he showed his cell phone to Riddle.

"Send me the links, I have my contacts so shipping will be cheaper hehehe~". Idia said with a giggle, who was present forced by Ortho.

Leona looked at the largest of the Shroud inquisitively, but he did not want to know.

"And who will pay for everything?" Vil asked, adjusting his Santa hat.

Yuu smiled and the others could swear that demon horns appeared on his head. "The director of course."

The others looked at Yuu strangely; Crowley was a cheapskate no matter how much he said otherwise, they highly doubted that he would pay for Christmas decorations.

"The director is so kind that he gave me his credit card." Yuu said taking said card out of his pocket. "Besides, when he realizes it, it will be too late."

Everything was silent for a moment before everyone laughed like "villains."

These holidays would be expensive for Dire Crowley…

The light music club was preparing to practice; they would have a lot of work performing at Mostro Lounge and the Christmas and New Year party.

"So what should we play today?" Cater asked looking at her cell phone for ideas.

"How about it, all I want for Christmas is you~." Lilia suggested doing a riff.

"It's already widely seen." Kalim commented, much to Carter's surprise.

Kalim had been using a lot of internet tutorials to be more independent, so he also updated himself on trends on the web… Jamil still couldn't decide if Kalim being addicted to MagiCam was good or bad.

"And a classic?" Ortho suggested with a smile. The young man with the shrouds had become a member of the club shortly before the Malleus OverBlot.

At that moment, Yuu entered. "Sorry guys, the decorations arrived and I wasn't going to risk leaving Grim alone with the glass things." He explained, leaving his coat on the coat rack.

"Don't worry Yuu-kun, we're still thinking about what to play." Cater said to the white haired one.

Yuu thought for a moment; He had managed to listen to Ortho's suggestion and thought it was a very good idea.

"And if we sing, we wish you a Merry Christmas?" The others looked at Yuu, it wasn't a bad idea.

"We can use a classic, with a little tweak." Yuu explained to them grabbing a microphone.

"Alright, you're in charge Yuu." Carter said to the aforementioned before turning on a LIVE for everyone to see. Yuu smiled mischievously as Kalim started playing the drums...

We wish you a Merry Christmas ~

The "voice of the gods" was instantly present. Everyone's clothes changed to a unique Santa Claus outfit for each one. For Kalim it was with two shades of red and round gold glasses, for Ortho it was blue with white and a tulle cape with snowflake embroidery, for Carter it was bright green with black and pearls in her hair, for Yuu it was the typical red and white and cool ski goggles.

We wish you a Merry Christmas ~

And a Happy New Year ~

The song was heard throughout the campus; filled everyone with joy. They organized themselves in the patio to decorate. Many were singing or humming with their hands full of golden tinsel.

We wish you the best day ever ~

And hope all your Christmas endeavors ~

At Heartslabyul, Trey watched in barely concealed horror as Riddle pulled out the fruitcake the aforementioned had made. Riddle cut a piece of the cake from him and then looked nervously at the green-haired man. The one with glasses forced a smile before trying the cake… It was because of the magic of friendship and the miracle of Christmas that Trey didn't have stomach pains.

Are super-fun, amazing and clever ~

And that your New Year's rocks too! ~

Many were using their brooms to fly around NRC and decorate it. The white already contrasted the black and gray of the building beautifully, but with the gold and green tinsel it looked much more impressive. Inside the building there were white LED lights as far as the eye could see and pine trees were added in the largest rooms. Meanwhile, in the teachers' lounge, they were enjoying a good eggnog… The principal was just crying in a corner because of the receipt of everything.

Oh, come, tell me what'cha doin' ~

All my relatives just flew in ~

In Pomefiore, Vil was reflecting on his life choices. The salon was in chaos with many enjoying to "let their hair down" and enjoy themselves. Epel led the party wearing an ugly sweater with lights while he sang about his family's traditions.

From Harveston and Shaftlands ~

For the holidays! ~

Neige had been included in the party. It had been a shock to have discovered that he was distantly related to Epel and now the two got along very well. Vil had no problems with this, after meditating and having Yuu with a therapist, he was able to come to terms with himself and accept that he and Neige were unique.

Both Christmas trees and menorahs ~

It can be confusing for us ~

Strangely enough, Epel managed to bring out the most sarcastic and stubborn side of Neige. The two always ended up arguing whether it was about musical tastes, food or clothes. And now they were fighting over which decorations were better. Luckily for Vil, Rook managed to calm things down by saying that both decorations were beautiful together; and he also brought cocoa, which Vil was happy about.

When we break into a chorus ~

Of olé, Olé ~

And oy vey, Oy vey ~

In the NRC cafeteria, many were preparing a magnificent Christmas dinner; Many were grateful that Lilia was busy and not in the kitchen.

Delicious meals I will try~

Groceries A through Z ~

Leona sang before taking a big bite out of a turkey leg. The lion was in a dream when the taster of the dinner was selected, to the jealousy of many. And Leona enjoyed teasing the others with moans of satisfaction at how delicious the food they brought him to try was.

Ruggie, get away from that punch bowl ~

Ruggie pouted as he was caught drinking the fruit punch while pocketing a couple of cookies.

I'm saving that for me ~

Hyena Boy, offended that his lazy friend wouldn't share punch, threw some figgy pudding into the punch bowl.

Sorry, sir ~

Ruggie sang mockingly because he knew that of all the fruits, Leona hated the fig the most. In the yard, Silver was sleeping peacefully among a small mound of snow. No one wanted to bother the boy during his nap, but they couldn't help but decorate him; They put a headband on him with reindeer antlers and shiny spheres in his ears.

We wish you a Silver Christmas ~

Yuu had changed it from "Perry" to Silver as a joke, but when he sang it he realized that the phrase was not so bad, a silver Christmas.

We wish you a Silver Christmas ~

And a (ZZZ~ Silver´s snoring ZZZ~) New year ~

Azul seriously needed a calculator; His had broken strangely shortly after Jade told him she needed to rest. Now, the lens guy was in her office doing the math by hand and with an abacus.

I want a calculator ~

Slash-Earnings-English Translator ~

"At this rate I finish in the new year." Blue thought tiredly as the music from the music club's LIVE was what kept him sane. The boy was also grateful that Yuu's magic decorated his office; he hadn't had much time to do it.

To find a common denominator ~

In all my tongues! ~

Mostro Lounge was enjoying free time with good music. Some were dancing dressed as elves and others were enjoying a good coffee or hot chocolate.

I will give you good hugs ~

To all you shrimps ~

Floyd with a big smile was trying to hug whoever he could, but everyone was avoiding him because of the mistletoe that the boy had hung on his head. Everyone knew how strong the hug and joking kiss they would receive from Floyd would be.

That's how I say "Merry Christmas" ~

I ain't good with words! ~

Floyd was finally able to grab someone to hug him and kiss him on the cheek, poor thing was Jamil. The one from Scarabia walked out calmly, still in shock, to go to the bathroom and wash his face with bleach.

I wish you would let me rule you ~

I'm going to teach you about anime ~

In Idia and Ortho's room, the oldest was dancing around the room while programming the lights, preparing the gifts he had for his brother, and turning on all of his monitors for the special Christmas events in all of his RPG games.

I won't sugarcoat or fool you ~

Your New Year's looks grim! ~

The oldest of the Shroud danced in the comfort of his chair, for him it was very noob to start singing at Christmas. Although he will deny to death that he sang Christmas songs from his favorite anime in the shower.

We wish your every endeavor ~

Makes this the best Christmas ever ~

The music club put the best of their voices into the final part of the song. Carter, Kalim and Ortho could tell that this was the best version of "we wish you a merry Christmas" they had ever heard. LIVE had ranked #1 in trends and throughout Twisted Wonderland they were dancing no matter what.

And we're all so glad that we will never ~

Mention figgy pudding ~

"Pudding?". Many people asked themselves when they heard the lyrics. Although they didn't give it importance; It was the best one of the best Christmas songs. And needless to say, they enjoyed the chorus at the end.

"Merry Xmas!". Yuu, Carter, Kalim and Ortho exclaimed into the cell phone before the LIVE ended...

Night Raven College had a good day that day and the decorations could be seen from the town on the island. And they were better than the other academy, to the envy of some in the RSA.

...

... As for Crowley, he stayed in his nest for the rest of the holidays…

i remember in the first one shot steve showing up to Andy's house in that bikini kill shirt and obviously he had no idea who they were (or kinda did but barely) and okay first of I loved how she was kinda sad that he didnt show up in one of his cutesy little polos, but also! later on they go to record stores together and Steve just asks her to list the essentials so he can get them and actually listen because she loves them and so he has to at least give them a shot (yes robin made fun of him) 🍊

I love this :')

so,

Andy is what I would call an omnivorous listener. She's in the indie scene, the riot grrl scene, but she also has a soft spot for the likes of Springsteen, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams. She has a beautiful, shiny, brand new cassette deck in her apartment (xmas gift from the parents yeehaw) and she checks out five cassettes from the library every week, something a little different every time. That cassette deck is playing all the time, while she's getting ready in the morning, making dinner, sitting on the couch and bitching with Steve about everything and nothing (they love to bitch, truly, kindred spirits). And he'll ask her what it is, what song, what artist, making mental notes for himself.

Now Steve on the other hand. He had never been particularly into or against music. He liked fast and loud stuff in high school before games and parties (and shhh, don't tell anyone, but he had a particular love for Wham!), Springsteen too, mostly because he had an uncle that would take him camping in the summers and refused to play anything other than Greetings From Ashbury Park on the long drives out of and back to Hawkins.

But now, he's a little more invested. He likes Pavement and Yo La Tengo, that one song by The La's that just makes him think of Andy, because, c'mon, right? Sometimes he likes the Cocteau Twins... sometimes. Try as he might, Bikini Kill just isn't for him, sorry, Robin. What he does notice, however, is that Andy keeps ending up with late fees from the library, tapes returned a few days late because she wanted to listen just one more time. And because Steve has been paying attention, what albums stayed checked out the longest, and what songs from what albums seemed to be her favorite, he comes up with a plan. And he gets Eddie's help with it.

Eddie, darling Eddie, and his near obnoxious and interminable music knowledge, is more than happy to show Steve how to use his also brand new, but more state of the art cassette deck to record mixtapes, with only one snarky look at you, man, all in the name of love, huh?

And so, every now and again, Steve will go to the library and check out a few of her recent favorites, and somehow sneak an unassuming mixtape into her apartment. Like Santa, but simpy :')

Andy keeps every single one, and much later down the line, when their oldest is starting to get into music in earnest, she'll take her down into the basement and pull out a cardboard box that has stacks upon stacks of mixtapes in them. Gets her a walkman (even though ugh, mom, everyone else has ipods) and their oldest, and then their middle, and then their youngest, will get an absolute aces education in nineties indie and alternative… and Bruce Springsteen because, duh.

Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas Volume III Set for December 1st Release

Having tweeted out plans to release deluxe versions of Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas volumes I & II for 2023, I have had a bit of a re-think and decided to abandon that idea and instead press ahead with a third volume.

It just seemed easier to market a separate volume and that makes it easier to raise money for Crisis, which is the point after all. This will be a smaller scale affair, though, with maybe 20-25 tracks rather than 54 this time around. That is going to be reflected in the reduced price of £5.00. The reason for the reduced number of tracks is that it took me a whole year to hone down the hundreds of Xmas songs that I tracked down into the 108 tracks that comprised volumes I & II. This somewhat last-minute decision won't result in a compromise in the quality of the material for a number of reasons though - I received some excellent songs after the deadline for submissions last year which I can now revisit, plus the contacts that I made through 2022 have enabled me to gather in some great new songs in double-quick time. Having had sensational reviews for the first two volumes (see archives), I won't be diluting the standard I have set myself now. It will be the same eclectic blend of Indie, perhaps slanted slightly more in the direction of garage rock/post-punk, with the quality control set to stratospheric. I will start revealing the line-up, one act a day, in November.

The album is set for release on the first bandcamp Friday in December (the 1st) with all monies again going to Crisis at Christmas. I'll be blogging/tweeting about the contributing artists through November.

A reminder that you can still purchase volumes I & II here

with xmas songs I can see the two approaches to the original song being different for your culture. bublé's santa buddy being a famous example of changing lyrics and pronouns to fit straight people vibes. however as an alternative I do like Mel & Kim's British approach to Rockin Around The Christmas Tree with the lyrics "later we'll have some pumpkin pie and do some caroling" kept as they are, despite pumpkin pie not really being a thing or a holiday thing in the UK, but with additional dialogue of Mel repeatedly trying to offer guests more pie that isn't getting eaten

#listening again I realised why this song doesn't get played on the radio much anymore but its bc of different additional lines #not pumpkin pie slander
