KThere is a version of "all I want for christmas is my two fron teeth" that plays and
(1) my coworker and I noticed the singer has no lisp so it doesn't actually sound like he needs his front teeth
(2) the singer says it's been a long time since he's been able to say "sister suzy sitting on a thistle" - which is a really mean thing to say and something describing a situation that does not occur in real life often enough to matter whether one is able say it or not.
There's something in a song about doing something the way the eskimos do it. I seriously doubt the sonwriter studied the ways of the eskimos, and putting the name of a people group in a cute song without their permission is somewhat politically incorrect (if we're going to care about being politically incorrect).
When songs talk about sleigh bells and sleigh rides, I pause and think about how rare sleigh rides are in my neck of the woods. Perhaps they exist elsewhere?
It bothers me when contemporary singers try to make old classics all cool by chanhing up the rythm and the words. It throws me off and makes me feel like an idiot when I'm singing along and mess up. Maybe it sounds bad, or maybe I don't like sounding like an idiot.
I got to take my 15-minute break just as the "santa bring my baby back to me" song came on. And I just felt the hand of the almighty God on my life.
Today I want to wish everyone a happy peaceful restful blessed sunday afternoon.
Don't know if that's overdoing it.
