Holiday Song by Tripod

December 24, 2009

by Jesse Galef –

For some holiday entertainment, I bring you a song by the Australian comedy group Tripod. You know the shepherds who, in the story, followed the star to Bethlehem? Well, there must have been some non-superstitious shepherds who didn’t go off chasing a star… What happened to them?

The song is: I Was the Only Shepherd (Warning: Not Safe For Work due to occasional cursing)

Didn’t cop a look at the manger,
But at least my sheep weren’t in any danger!
How many times must I explain t’ya
That I’m the good dad…
And they’re all the sh*t dads!

You’ve also gotta love the very last line…

Thanks, that was great.

Speaking of x-mass specials has anyone seen the Colbert x-mass special. I kinda wish I had some some fundies around I could watch it with, the moral outrage would be great entertainment.
It was magnificent, It’s hard to believe he hasn’t been strung up.

@Richard P
Yes I have, and it was bloody brilliant. I think I will rewatch it today, now that you’ve brought it up.

One of the few sites that let you see it in Canada.
It is a non English video site but quick to download. written in Japanese or something. The movie was in english.
I had no security issues.
I especially liked the fourth wiseman… who would have known…..

Tripod has talent!!!!

The problem with the parody is that the Star of Bethlehem appears only in Matthew’s gospel, and Magi, not shepherds, follow it (Matthew 2:1-12). Luke’s gospel mentions shepherds, but an angel tells them of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:8-20).

It figures. The hard worker gets screwed while the slackers get all the credit. I liked it. A touch of realism within make believe.

Thanks, Richard for the link to Stephen Colbert’s. I like John Stewart’s Hannukah song best.

Yeah, I saw that one a good while back on TV.

Tripod are great; very talented guys.

Their website (3pod.com.au) is a bit of fun, too.

Gotta love Tripod

The show it’s from is called The Sideshow. Unfortunately, it’s not being made anymore.

The host, Paul McDermott, hosts a show called Good News Week, which is a good watch.

He participated in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Great Debate. His argument is definitely worth watching
