Show HN: Text “carols” to 907.312.1412 for Christmas carol lyrics
I built this a couple days ago after seeing carolers lyric books and thinking, "Who has printers and copiers anymore?"
Here's a pic of the menu. Any songs I should add?

- bshimmin 12y agoNice idea. A few typos/errors in the menu I spotted: 4. Hark the Herald Angels Sing 6. Here Comes Santa Claus 14. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
- gregorymichael 12y agoI must be obtuse. What's the typo?
- Shivatron 12y agoThe typos are in the OP's screenshot; the grandparent reflects the corrected titles.
- gregorymichael 12y agoOh got it! Thank you! Will fix now.
- throwaway344 12y agoThose are the correct versions. It is currently "Here Comes Santa Clause", for instance.
- cpr 12y agoNice! Maybe advent carols, too, like O Come, O Come Emmanuel?
- icebraining 12y agoBeware copyright infringement; I don't think all those lyrics are in the public domain yet.
- gregorymichael 12y agoGood point. Thank you.
- cpr 12y agoHow about carols from http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/82.html http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/82.html, "Christmas Season." Those are all in the public domain, most of them being > 100 years old.
- Pinn2 12y agoI texted to a word game displayed on a Times Square banner. Got monthly "support emails" featuring garbage trivia, and a $10 charge hidden on my at&T bill. I think it was one of those shortened phone numbers, though.
- gregorymichael 12y agoYeah, shady stuff happens with shortcodes sometimes. You can rest assured that my ulterior motives are a) spreading holiday cheer b) showing off Twilio. edit: wording
- gregorymichael 12y agoI built this in Ruby and Sinatra. Here's the writeup: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2014/12/12-hacks-of-christmas-day-8.html https://www.twilio.com/blog/2014/12/12-hacks-of-christmas-da...
