BAH & THE HUMBUGS: BIGGER THAN SANTA
A 25th Anniversary Humbug Tribute

Featuring Humbugs songs performed by the following bands:



ADVENTAGIOUS

Adventagious

Here is a great example, and indeed the only example we know, of a band so falling in love with a Humbugs song that they named themselves after it and devoted their first album to various versions and remixes of that one song. Adventagious was now not just a Humbugs song but the name of a group of energetic teen vocalists at St. Mary's Collegiate Ministerium of Mercy University.

Of course their previous name candidates were in need of help anyway: "The Choir Singers"; "Vocalists' Group"; "Musical Club"; and so forth (it was only due to a prank that they were listed in the Yearbook as "Two I Mean Three Morons"). No matter how you looked at it, it was time for a name change.

It was at this time that team member Eddie Winston came across a cassette tape of the Humbugs performing "Adventagious" at a New York party/concert and was struck with the idea of transforming the band's mission, focusing like a laser on this one portion of this one holiday: Advent. And focusing even more like a laser on this one song.

The result is what you'll hear here, with newly edited lyrics where the band refers to the name change with grateful glee. Ah, sorry, we've just received word that we can no longer use the word "glee" to refer to un-trademarked vocal groups. At any rate, they're grateful, they're alive, and they're kicking hindquarters!


Adventagious

(Lehmkuhl)

It's sweeping through the populace infecting everybody with
Hope, Peace, Joy, Love
It only has a positive effect and that's why it's known as
Ad – vent – ag – ious
And once somebody catches it they wanna spread the word about
Hope, Peace, Joy, Love
That's what we're doing now and we even named ourselves after
Ad – vent – ag – ious

(Here it comes)
Adventagious, Adventagious
Moving through the holy stages
Adventagious, Adventagious
We're so full of spirit it's outrageous!

Celebrate anticipation waiting and watching for some
Hope, Peace, Joy, Love
Every Christmas we're a little sad ‘cause we're finished singing
Ad – vent – ag – ious

(Here it comes)
Adventagious, Adventagious
Hearts are free now from their cages
Adventagious, Adventagious
We're so full of spirit it's outrageous!

Adventagious, Adventagious
Each December it re-engages
Its infectious for all ages
It's catching on through all of advent's agents!

Oh Hope is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Peace is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Joy is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Love is knocking at the door
Oh Hope is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Peace is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Joy is comin comin, come in, come in
Oh Love is ringing at the bell
DING...DONG...
Oh Hope is comin comin, Oh Peace is comin comin,
Oh Joy is comin comin, Oh Love is comin comin,
Oh Hope is, Oh Peace is, Oh Joy is, Oh Love is,
Hope and Peace and Joy and Love and
Open up the door and say hi to Jesus
