While I'm very partial to Oy Humbug!, I have to say that this one
2004: Well, I wasn't expecting that.
works for me perfectly on more than one level.

The status is NOT quo.
"Oy Humbug" is my favorite so far, though I like "Well I wasn't expecting that" too.
Of course, I still am vainly in love with "Days of Auld Fang Syne". Hee! (insert image of me giggling like a six-year-old here...just can't resist a pun)

Oy Humbug is my favorite so far
I'm with Kristin.
Of course, it may be the Jewish in me that likes the "Oy" part so much, which is not so much with the non-Jewish holidays, but still.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I think "hijacked elections", though a sentiment shared by many buffistas, is certainly not one shared universally, and may actually be pretty offensive to people who don't agree.
So, pick an opening rhyme that scans with the existing song lyric, has something to do with 2004, and is guaranteed not to offend anyone on earth. Spirit of christmas, or whatever.
Or, alternately, go with "wasn't expecting that", which is inoffensive to anyone, and amusing.
