- I'm elated to share (again) this fabulous song inspired by the great Jim Steinman -- 'I'll Decorate This City In Ribbons Of Blood' is composed by fellow Steinman enthusiast, Scaramouche / David J. Smith and it's one of my favorites!!
This song is written for the one and only Joker in Scaramouche's vision for a Batman musical.
I am absolutely thrilled to sing this brilliant creation once again!
Merry Christmas everybody!
(hope you like what I do!)
(sorry, couldn't resist, lol)

Lyrics:
I’ll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood
On ev’ry single avenue, in ev’ry darkened street
I’ll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood
With ev’ry beating heart I pull, from ev’ry soul I meet
‘Cos killing is my business, and business is good
I’ll hunt ‘em all down, in ev’ry damn neighbourhood
So Merry Christmas Gotham City, hope you like what I do!
Merry Christmas Gotham, it’s my one gift to you!
Merry Christmas, Gotham City, hope you drown in my flood!
As I decorate this city, in ribbons, ribbons of blood!
I’ll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood
I’ll butcher ev’rything that moves, an feast on ev’ry yell
I’ll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood
Just watch the gore-fest I create, a nightmare worse than hell
‘Cos killing is my business, it gives me such a thrill
A never-ending orgasm, I savour ev’ry kill
So Merry Christmas Gotham City, hope you like what I do!
Merry Christmas Gotham, it’s my one gift to you!
Merry Christmas, Gotham City, hope you drown in my flood!
As I decorate this city, in ribbons, ribbons of blood!
Kill ‘em all, kill ‘em all, amputate, disembowel
Fu@k ‘em all, fu@k ‘em all, slice ‘n’ dice, hear them howl
Fu@k ‘em all, fu@k ‘em all, kill them all!
Amputate…(gooood)
Disembowel…(that’s right)
Slice ‘n’ dice…(so naughty, but nice)
Hear them howl, hear them howl…(yes boys, I love it!)
Killing is my business, an tonight I’ll play my games,
I’ve got a cemetery of tombstones, and they’re waiting for your names
So Merry Christmas Gotham City, hope you like what I do!
Merry Christmas Gotham, it’s my one gift to you!
Merry Christmas, Gotham City, hope you drown in my flood!
As I decorate this city, in ribbons
As I decorate this city, in ribbons
As I decorate this city, in ribbons
In ribbons,
in ribbons,
in ribbons
In ribbons, in ribbons, in ribbons of blood…
(oooooh, does anybody ever dream like this anymore?)

What a fantastic song! A steinmanesque masterpiece, and a (as always) fantastic performance!
And your "Does anybody dream like this anymore" put chills down my spine. :-)
You became the Joker!!
I am really impressed!
Wow! Thank you so much!!!! ✌️
Now you're getting me into the Christmas spirit - Steinman style! Great version, respect to David J. Smith for writing it too! Merry Christmas Lauren & all my fellow Steinomaniacs out there!! Looking forward to hearing more in 2023!
Thrilled you enjoyed this, Matt! It’s great to get into anything in a Steinman style, right? Lol Merry Christmas to you as well! Looking forward to singing more in 2023!! 😉🦇🖤✌️
Comment 1 of 2. Changing things up! No crazily overblown, adjective-soaked, imagery-swollen narrative this time. For that - all you have to do is read my comment to Lauren’s posting of “ROB” from last year, and add a swarm of exclamation points … and a little linguistic “slash and dash-ery” here and there (like, maybe “… the way Lauren amped the ‘ribbons’ and beckoned the Joker in this new slaughterstorm of a performance brings an insanely welcome sort of sinister joy to the song!” :) Hahaha! What a fantastic way to start Christmas! Here’s to you, Lauren - “Everything ‘Merrier’ Than Everything Else!”
Ah! Thank you so much, Bryan!! You really do write absolutely spectacular commentary. And for that, I thank you! BTW - I especially love the closing line!! Happy Holidays!! 😂🦇
Wow, Lauren! You never disappoint, this is incredible! I got so excited to see a new version posted because your other one has been my most listened to Christmas song of the season! Love hearing the different choices you made vocally this time! You truly made this song your bitch, 10/10, AMAZING! Hope you have an amazing Christmas and New Year!
Hey Shelley!!! I’m so honored that the previous version was on your Christmas music “playlist” so to speak and secondly the most listened to, just wow!! And, I am so thrilled to read you noticed the different choices I made throughout!! Ya never know I’d they’re noticeable or not so that truly made me smile! And the best part “made this song your bitch” - THANK YOU!! Scaramouche did a fantastic job writing this song! It’s not only awesome to listen to but it’s a blast to sing!! Thanks so much for taking the time out to comment and let me know your thoughts! Very much appreciated always!!
Comment 2 of 2. The holiday season - a time for inspired giving! Jim Steinman didn’t write this song. But his singular genius and indomitable creativity inspired David J. Smith (Scaramouche) to give us brilliant fun in the form of music and lyrics that “slice and dice, amputate and disembowel!” - in a fiendishly fantastic way! :) David didn’t sing this song. But his exceptional songwriting skills and ability to “channel” Jim inspired Lauren Bradley to give us spectacular thrills in the form of strikes and “sparks” and superhuman singing that, with villainous agility, “hunt us all down, in every damn neighborhood!” Lauren didn’t monetize this song. But her majestic vocals and manifest devotion to her craft, her zest and her zeal, inspired me to give … well, certainly not songwriting or singing stuff :):) but at least a little help. Jim died of kidney failure last year, a pernicious torment that claims the lives of legions of people annually. So, as a tribute to Lauren’s ridiculously phenomenal performance, and the uber-infectious enthusiasm that it so justifiably engenders, I made a considerable donation to the National Kidney Foundation in her name, in honor of Jim - and I strongly encourage my fellow “Smith & Bradley” viewers to do the same! Here’s a link to the donation site: www.kidney.org/donation - And here’s to you, Lauren, and to David, to Jim, and to the little bit of Joker in all of us - Happy Holidays!
Bryan, thank you so much for this. My fandom for Jim exists on many levels, as you know. And a gesture like this, I’m incredibly touched by and grateful for! For that, I thank you!
:)
