“Merry Christmas America. Enjoy it while you can.”
Yesterday I was listening to Christmas harps and traditional stuff like that — hard to get too traditional. Modern hussies dragged from night clubs just don’t cut it unless you don’t like ‘Silent Night’ to begin with. Only Manheim Steamroller was able to ‘do it better’, and even they go too way out sometimes.
But then I felt that Weird Al’s ‘Christmas At Ground Zero’ fit my mood perfectly. We might as well make the best of this Christmas! Eat drink and be merry for New Years might be ... [ok — maybe that’s melodramatic. Hope so.]
Cleverly honest appraisal of the end times.
Fits the evil Bronco Bama regime:
It’s Christmas at ground zero
There’s music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
While the air raid sirens blare
It’s Christmas at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test
Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It’s the end of all humanity
No more time for last-minute shopping
It’s time to face your final destiny
It’s Christmas at ground zero
There’s panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath the mushroom cloud
Ronald Reagan:
Well, the big day is only a few hours away now.
I’m sure you’re all looking forward to it
as much as we are.
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone’s climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill
It’s Christmas at ground zero
And if the radiation level’s okay
I’ll go out with you and see all the new
Mutations on New Year’s Day
It’s Christmas at ground zero
Just seconds left to go
I’ll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe
It’s Christmas at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke, we’re gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday
What a crazy fluke, we’re gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!
