"Polar Vortex" was written for one group, hence the lead-in to the song. It was the first winter they started talking about weather conditions being created by the Polar Vortex over the Arctic. And a lot of people were denying it existed and was a "made-up" term. "Coal" was written back in my ACN days because they were always open to a decent song parody and they loved holiday content. And "Only the Good Die Young" kinda merged nicely with the "Yes, Virginia" story. Also, it was easy to write holiday stuff well ahead of time to submit.
The Polar Vortex Only The Bad Get Coal
The Polar Vortex (to “The Polar Express”) By Dan Fiorella Oh, man, it’s so cold out! This is the worse. Why is it like this? Look, here comes Tom Hanks, the conductor, he’ll explain it all! It’s the winter weather, snow or hail Causing such distress Blowing through the houses, wind and snow Things will freeze like the tundra Weather systems are complex Cause that’s the way things happen With the Polar Vortex Brrh brrh the wind does blow Gets your nose all stinging Got the weatherman screaming Hitting 10 below Climate change will get here soon See what’s coming next Cause that’s the way things happen With the Polar Vortex Weather Channel sent a text Temps are dropping clank clank clank Doom doom doom Freezing all the day! Wind chill factors that will attack ya’s that Penguins all detest. Banks of snow all come crashing down It’s all Jack Frost at all cost You’ll freeze off your cortex But that’s what always happens with the Polar Vortex | Only The Bad Get Coal (Only the Good Die Young) By Dan Fiorella Come on, Virginia, Santa exists Your skeptical friends are on the wrong list Cause sooner or later if they still insist They’re not getting any toys Well, they mocked your belief and Told you to doubt But Santa’s around and he’s got some clout ‘Cause they never told you what it’s all about Knocking Nick from the North Pole Only the bad get coal That’s what I said Only the bad get coal. If you see it in the Sun it has to be so He’s all about like the rain or the snow. For a thousand years or more you know Makin’ glad the hearts of kids So come on Virginia, you know all the signs Don’t listen to them, it only defines Skepticism of these skeptical times Reading it in the Sun Ginny, only the bad get coal Woah, woah, woah, woah I tell you Only the bad get coal You know that only the the bad get coal I'm telling you Ginny You know that only the bad get coal Only the the bad get coal Only the baaaaaaaad Only the the bad get coal Only the baaaaaaad Only the the bad get coal Ooo ooo ooo... |
