LYRICS FOR JINGLE BELLS BATMAN SMELLS -YOUTUBE VIDEO #1
From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baV4z9ynYgA&list=RDbaV4z9ynYgA&start_radio=1

(Verse 1)

Dashing through the snow

On a pair of broken skis

Over fields we go

Crashing into trees!

 

Snow gets in my eye

I think I’m gonna cry

I woke up in the old Batcave

With Batman standing by

 

(Chorus)

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

 

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

 

(Verse 2)

The Joker got away,

But couldn’t get too far,

He didn’t see the webs

And now he’s seeing stars!

 

Spider-Man is cool

He goes to my school

Iron Man is super rich

And Loki is a fool!

 

(Chorus)

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

 

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

 

(Verse 3)

Batman has to poop,

That’s why he smells so bad,

The only thing that's worse,

Is the bathroom of my dad!

 

I’ll write Santa my name,

He’ll bring a video game,

I want Minecraft or Fortnite,

Or bring me both of them!

 

(Chorus)

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

 

Jingle bells, Batman smells,

Robin laid an egg,

The Batmobile lost a wheel,

And Joker got away!

YOUTUBE VIDEO #2-Jingle Bells, Batman Smells - Complete Version With All Four Verses - Funny Christmas Song Parody

AltoonaYourPiano, Dec 19, 2022

How many of you sang this on the bus or on long car rides many years ago? I know I sure did, but I remember there were so many different versions. And I thought, what if we make them all into a complete song? And so, here it is! I know I'm not much of a singer, what singing voice I used to have long has deteriorated due to health issues that have plagued me over the past 20 years but I hope it's serviceable. I arranged them by age, first verse and chorus are oldest. Here's the lyrics.

(Verse 1)

Dashing through the snow,

On a pair of broken skis,

O'er the hills I go,

Crashing into trees!

The snow is turning red,

I think I might be dead,

I woke up in a hospital

With stitches in my head!

 

(Chorus 1)

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a beat-up Chevrolet! (x2)

 

(Verse 2)

Batman's in the kitchen,

Robin's in the hall,

Joker's in the bathroom

Peeing on the wall.

Penguin's in the freezer,

Alfred's in the study,

Two-face is in the living room,

I think that's everybody!

 

(Chorus 2)

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!

The Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away, hey! (2x)

 

(Verse 3)

Batman's in the kitchen,

Robin's in the hall,

Joker's in the bathroom

Peeing on the wall.

Penguin's on the potty,

His arms too short to wipe.

Catwoman's in the litterbox,

While the Riddler smokes a pipe!

 

(Chorus 3)

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin ran away!

He lost pants down in France and found them in Bombay!

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away!

Santa Claus lost his drawers on the M6 Motorway!

 

(Verse 4)

Crashing through the roof,

On a one-horse open tree!

Busting out I go, laughing all the way!

 

(Instrumental interlude)

 

(Chorus 4)

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg!

He blows his nose on cheerios and eats them everyday!

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away!

Landed on a football field but did not know how to play!

Notes:

1. The first verse sometimes accompanies another Jingle Bells parody that has nothing to do with Batman, hence why it's so different.

2. The second chorus can also end in "and the Joker took ballet" or "the Joker saved the day".

3. "Bombay" is an old name for Mumbai, a city in India.

4. The M6 Motorway is located in England, meaning this verse originated in the UK

5. The fourth verse is the only one to appear in official Batman media.

6.. "Football field" can also be "football pitch".

Merry Christmas to all of my friends and I hope you like this fun parody!

"Glad you like it! Fun how many different versions there were. I compiled them in order from oldest (late 60s that my older siblings taught me that they sang as kids) to newest (90s version that my nephews and nieces taught me, the cheerios one, and the one from the cartoon, to in between (the 70s and 80s "Batmobile lost a wheel" and "Batman in the kitchen" one I grew up with). Thanks so much for listening and merry Christmas! 🎄🎅"

"How I did this was I combined the different versions everyone knew into a single song, it was fun to record this. I think it was written in the 60s after the Batman TV show became popular since I know my parents told me they didn't have this as kids, but my brothers and sisters did in the 60s and 70s. Anyways thanks for listening! 🎄"

I don't know where you found those other verses and choruses but I'm glad you did. Now, I'm going to annoy my family by singing the full version.

I only knew the "Batmobile lost a wheel" verse and the first half of "Batman's in the kitchen" up to the part about the Joker, we just repeated those four lines. I didn't know there were all these other verses, my favorite is the one with the broken skis. I've got something new to sing now, dude. Thank you so much for the memories! I hope you had an awesome Christmas!"

Nice to hear you sing! I like your voice. Happy Christmas, Altoona! 🎄🎅🌟🎁🎀☃"

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLACK AMERICAN AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE AND MAINSTREAM AMERICAN AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE

"AI Overview

Understanding the nuances of audience etiquette across different cultural contexts within the United States is a fascinating inquiry that touches upon core aspects of cultural communication and social norms. The query asks for the differences between Black American audience etiquette and mainstream American audience etiquette, and it is important to first acknowledge that "mainstream" etiquette in the US often reflects dominant white cultural norms, which have historically excluded or marginalized the cultural practices of other groups. Black Americans are also not a monolith, as intersectionality (how race, gender, socioeconomic status, and other identities intersect) plays a critical role in shaping individual experiences and behaviors.

Nevertheless, some general patterns emerge regarding audience interaction styles, which primarily revolve around the level of verbal and physical engagement and the expectation of interaction between the performer and the audience.

Key Differences in Audience Etiquette

The primary distinction lies in the concept of "active" versus "passive" reception of a performance.

Active Participation in Black American Culture: Black American audience etiquette often encourages a more dynamic and vocal participation, rooted in traditions like the "call and response" found in the Black church and other community gatherings. This engagement is seen as an essential, reinforcing part of the shared experience, providing energy to the performers and the audience alike. It's a two-way conversation, where the audience's reaction directly influences the flow and intensity of the performance.

Vocalizations: This can include verbal affirmations (e.g., "Yes, ma'am," "Amen," "Tell it like it is," "preach"), cheering, singing along, and direct comments to the stage. These expressions signify agreement, excitement, or appreciation and are generally welcomed by the performers.

Movement and Physicality: The audience may move more freely, clap along, or exhibit enthusiastic physical reactions like standing up or gesturing during peak moments of the performance.

Punctuality and Flow: While traditional theater etiquette prizes promptness, some performances in Black cultural settings may have a slightly more flexible start time, occasionally with a short grace period.

Passive Reception in Mainstream American Culture: Mainstream (often white-dominant) American audience etiquette, particularly in formal settings like classical theater, symphony orchestras, or certain formal concert venues, traditionally emphasizes silence and minimal disruption. The expectation is that the audience provides a quiet, focused environment where all attention is directed solely at the stage without interruption.

Silence is Golden: Talking, whispering, or making noise (including from rustling candy wrappers) during the performance is generally frowned upon and considered a significant distraction.

Applauding at Specific Times: Applause is typically reserved for specific, sanctioned moments, such as the end of an act, the conclusion of a piece of music (like an overture), or a curtain call. Enthusiastic reactions like cheering or standing ovations are common, but only at the performance's end or during an intermission, not typically in the middle of a dramatic monologue or musical number (unless the performers explicitly encourage it).

Minimizing Physical Presence: Audience members are expected to remain seated throughout the performance unless an emergency arises, to avoid blocking the view of others.

Historical and Cultural Context

The origins of these differences are deeply rooted in history. Mainstream etiquette evolved from European upper-class norms, which emphasized restraint and decorum as marks of sophistication. In contrast, Black American performance traditions often developed in community spaces, such as churches and social gatherings, where shared experiences and collective emotional release were paramount. This history fosters a strong sense of community, where the audience's shared identity and active engagement enrich the overall experience. Performers of color often express appreciation for an engaged audience, viewing the energy as a positive reinforcement of their work.

A Note on Contextual Blending

It is also important to note that these are not rigid boundaries and can vary greatly depending on the specific venue and type of performance. A pop or rock concert for a mainstream audience will feature cheering and singing along, which is encouraged. Similarly, a formal Black tie gala featuring a classical performance might see Black audience members adhering to more formal, quieter norms. The key is that while mainstream norms often default to quiet reserve in formal settings, Black cultural norms more frequently default to an open and affirming interaction.

So, in conclusion, the fundamental difference lies in the value placed on the interactivity of the event versus its silent reception. Black American audience etiquette generally embraces a lively, vocal, and physically engaged communal experience, whereas mainstream etiquette for formal arts typically prioritizes silence and passive observation until designated moments for applause. Understanding these differing cultural expectations helps to appreciate the diverse and vibrant ways Americans experience live perform."
