    I think people are missing the words "hilarious results" when reading the title of this post. Therefore I have went through all of these and selected the TOP 10 hilarious combinations. They are posted here. Kindly stop posting the non-hilarious ones.

    1. Salve festa dies irae
    2. I Want to Walk as a Child of the Frenzied, Unclean Spirit
    3. Silence, Frenzied, Unclean Drummer Boy
    4. We Three Kings of Orient Are Knockin’ on Your Door
    5. There's a Wideness in All Who Hunger
    6. On Jordan's Bank He Touched Me
    7. Taste and See the Hungry Heart
    8. You Satisfy the Frenzied, Unclean Spirit
    9. Gather Us In A Touching Place
    10. Canticle of the Frenzied, Unclean Spirit

    [Good choices, but the list repeats the F.U.S. so much! Can you find some more non-repetitive entries? --RC]

    Some of these combine more that two first lines, if that's alright.


    Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts, be thou my vision

    Here betwixt ass and oxen mild, I sing a song of the saints of God

    Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Art thou weary, art thou laden?

    As with gladness, men of old From Greenland's icy mountains, I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'Come, labour on!'

    Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding: Ding dong merrily on high!

    Jerusalem, my happy home, Light's abode, heavenly Salem, O holy city seen of John, Pleasant are thy courts above.

    O little town of Bethlehem! Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face

    At the Name of Jesus Let all the world in every corner sing

    A great and mighty wonder, Bread of heaven, on thee we feed

    Drop, drop, slow tears, When I survey the wondrous cross

    Who are these like stars appearing With broken heart and contrite sigh?

    He who would valiant be Fight the good fight with all thy might, (and) Give praise and Glory unto God.

    Well, if the Unclean Frenzied Spirit can be used multiple times, I also have a favorite...

    Come and Let Us Drink on That Holy Mountain
    Come and Let Us Drink and Let This Feeble Body Fail

    and of course,

    I realize these aren't hilarious but I can't seem to stop! Perhaps Chonak should spin off a separate non-hilarious thread.

    Actually, as I re-read the title of this conversation, the object is to concoct hilarious combinations. So, you do raise an interesting question about the relationship between hilarity and ridiculosity, which may be both hilarious and ridiculous to contemplate. Perhaps, When morning gilds the skies, some phos hilaron will be shed on this matter.

    I'm figuring the goal is the hilarious, but that's so subjective, so aiming for the ridiculous seems a surer way to reach it.
  • M. Jackson Osborn
    Posts: 8,382
    Perhaps, though one might note that hilarity is (one might argue) a benign yet ecstatically joyful state, while ridiculous, considering its root, is not, but by way of connotation, so benign, nor, necessarily, joyful. I vote for hilarity. Then, there is that old Russian Easter carol, you know, Hilariter! Hilariter!, nothing related to ridicule there; or 'God rest you hilariously, gentlemen', but not 'ridiculously'.

    Someone with greater skill than I is welcome to compose Salva festa dies irae. I can claim the dubious distinction of having led a choir greet a former choir director on her birthday singing "Happy Birthday" (omitting "to you") to the chant tune of "Pange Lingua".
