Congratulations to John K. of NJ who was chosen by DMC as the winner of the Holiday Lyrics Contest! Thanks to all who submitted entries for this contest and Happy New Year to all.
DMC's Notes on the Winning Lyrics:
I chose this entry because even though it was short, it was funny and he didn't take himself too seriously. It was bright and cheery and simple.
John's Winning Lyrics:
It was 1986 and My Adidas were HOT. Santa Clause was comin but maybe he's NOT......DOES HE WANT TO BE DOWN WIT THE KINGS?
There's a sound on my ROOF. What's that I hear?....it must be ST. Nick and ALL the Reindeer. Coming down my chimney and what do you KNOW....some Adidas for me and for Jay a Kango.
And as he flew AWAY in his BIG red Sleigh he yelled out " MERRY CHRISTMAS.....RUN DMC and JAM MASTER JAY!"
"The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
Each and every year we bust Christmas Carols"
"Rhymes so loud and proud to hear it
Its Christmastime and we got the spirit"
If you got the spirit like Run DMC, let us see! Write your own Christmas Carol like "Christmas in Hollis" but make it official. Rep where your from with an original version of this classic Christmas joint. Take us to your family's crib, tell us what's under that tree and you might win some presents of your own! Submit your original lyrics and one lucky winner will be chosen by the one and only King DMC to win an autographed pair of adidas kicks, signed by both Rev Run AND DMC! D will also provide a little feedback on the winner's lyrical content which will be posted with the winning submission on the site!
