[Sound of musicians warming up. Footsteps approaching. Sounds stop]

Producer: Morning, fellas. I'm John, I'll be your producer for this session.

Band Members: Hi John.

John: You've already met Melanie, your engineer, haven't you?

Band Members: Yea, she's great.

Good, let's get started. [Footsteps receeding]

Melanie: Ok guys, Dead Santa take one. Whenever you're ready.

[Music starts]

Lead Singer: Dead Santa, dead Santa
Dead Santa's not much fun

John: Whoa, stop, hold on there. [Music stops]

Lead Singer: What's the matter?

John: What's the matter? You're ripping off "Dead Puppies".
One of the most beloved songs in all of funny music.
And all you're doing is saying "Santa" instead of "puppies".
That's not gonna fly at all.

Lead Singer: You're jumping to conclusions, man. Just sit back
and listen to the whole thing. It's cool.

John: Well...all right, maybe I jumped the gun.

Melanie: Dead Santa take two.

[Music starts]

Lead Singer: Dead Santa, dead Santa
Dead Santa's not much fun

He won't come Christmas eve
Even if you believe
Dead Santa's not much fun

Kris Kringle died late last fall
In a drunken elven brawl
Dead Santa's not much fun, no no no

Mom says Santa's dead and now
They'll turn him into reindeer chow
Dead Santa's not much fun

Dead Santa, dead Santa
Dead Santa's not much fun

(Come on everybody out there, jingle along ok?)

Dead Santa, dead Santa
Dead Santa's not much fun

(One more time for Burl Ives!)

Dead Santa, dead Santa
Dead Santa's not much fun

[Music ends]

Melanie: And cut. Good take, we're done here.

John: Great job guys. Catch you next time.

Lead Singer: Told you it was cool. C'mon guys, lets get a beer.

[Footsteps of several people receeding, door slams]

John: Melanie?

Melanie: Yes?

John: Bury that recording somewhere where it will never be found.

Melanie: Got it.
