Sisters – An Election Day Parody

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/60734952″ params=”show_comments=true&auto_play=false” width=”60%” height=”100%” iframe=”false” /]My four sisters and I gathered a few weeks ago for a girls-only weekend – the first time we had done so since our Fran died a little over a year ago. Fueled by wine and laughter, and inspired by the spirit of our exuberant contest-loving sister, we decided at the last minute to enter the Prairie Home Companion Duet contest with this little parody we wrote of Sisters from the movie White Christmas – a Polaneczky girls collective favorite.

Unfortunately, our duet (well, it’s actually a trio but don’t tell Garrison…), although graciously accepted a few hours past the deadline, didn’t make the finals.

That’s okay. We still think it’s great – if not off pitch in a few spots. (There was no time for perfection.)

We also discovered that if you play it say, 20 times in a row, especially when your companions are sick and tired of hearing it, or when they are trying to fall asleep, or when there’s a pleasant lull in the conversation – it’s even better!
