Local Celebrities Create Parody of 'Winter Wonderland' Song For Cause

There’s a need, are you listening? 

The Orange County affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure has created a catchy holiday parody. It has written original lyrics to the tune of the holiday classic, “Winter Wonderland,” asking the public to donate funds for life-saving mammograms. Thirteen personalities, well-known for many things (but not singing), graciously offered their time – and voices – to support the campaign Komen’s christening.

Original Lyrics: (to the tune of “Winter Wonderland”) 

There’s a need, are you listening

A campaign, we are christening,

Together we’ll fight

To make things alright

Funding Orange County mammograms

With your help, we’ll be grinning

Keepin’ more people winning

Detection’s the key

When it’s early

Funding Orange County mammograms

Closing in on where we need to get to

Makin’ progress each and every day

But there’s still a need for us to ask you

To help us reach our goal without delay

Your support is the reason

Komen’s thankful this season

When lives are at stake

A difference we’ll make

Funding Orange County mammograms
