I can see that. I heard it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised to find out it has been around since the 1950’s. I just didn’t have the positive connection that you do. I was in a hardware store, and it just didn’t have the warm and cozy familiarity of Nature King Cole singing “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...” I have heard it a few times since then, and I can see it eventually growing on me, because I generally like silliness, as opposed to genuinely bad and annoying stuff such as the multiple versions of “Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart.”
By the way, before I came on this thread, I had just watched the “Dirty Jobs” in which Mike Rowe had to clean out a hippopotamus habitat at a zoo. Show that to any kid who wants a hippopotamus and I guarantee they will change their minds!
To summarize.
All.
“Nature” should be “Nat.” Stupid autocorrect!
