21 December 2004And a fa-la-la to youWhile I am inclined to defend the trappings of Christmas anyway, I would probably do so more enthusiastically were it not the case that some of the most godawful, loudly-barking doggerel in the farging universe has been pressed into service on its behalf. No, I don't mean "Silent Night" or its brethren in the hymnal; I mean the crap they actually play on the radio between exudings of José Feliciano's incredibly-annoying "Feliz Navidad," which is in a subclass by itself. And if you don't believe me, perhaps you'll believe Wendy. Posted at 7:42 PM to Almost YogurtI agree wholeheartedly. If I hear "rum-pa-pum-pum" one more time I may go postal. I was somewhere public today and heard a version of "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree" that *wasn't* done by Brenda Lee. That has to be some form of second-order sacrilege. The only thing that makes that song listenable is are the hiccups. Posted by: The Prop at 5:16 PM on 22 December 2004 |
