Swerve. And anything else with Yoko in it.

yeah “unpack” just makes me cringe
As per the film adaptation, yes (just looked it up).
Whew. That's a load off my mind....
It's actually an older blues song first recorded in 1947. Besides Chuck Berry, it's been covered by Elvis, B.B. King, Otis Reddding, Bruce Springsteen and many others.
I’ve heard a couple of versions of a guy singing “Santa Baby”. It’s beyond creepy.
Swerve. And anything else with Yoko in it.
I’ve never heard any of those songs (that I know of), except for Rudolf.
And I always thought that Rudolf had a positive message—be kind to those who are different. In this age of rampant school bullying, that is a message that needs to be shared a little more often.
Do they know it’s christmas:
Excellent review. It’s all about hierarchy. You the listener are the world’s worst, enjoying your holiday when others are starving somewhere. The poor starving non Christians who surely don’t know the holiday and, of course, are in the last stages of starvation, are clearly higher up on the plane of good people than you are, you selfish piece of crap. Buy my music out of guilt and MAYBE ONE DAY you can come to the highest point of human hierarchy, ME. BONO. SITTING AT THE TIP BECAUSE I WROTE THIS PIECE OF CRAP SO I AM THEREFORE BETTER THAN THE POOR OR THE RICH BECAUSE I AM HELPING. See how that works?
Last Christmas:
How can you analyze the love triangle lyrics at all when sung by a guy who passed his d*** through holes in the park bathroom stall multiple times a night?
So I’ll just like the tune on this one.
I too have always liked “The Little Drummer Boy”. I’ve never understood the resistance to it.
OMG dittos.
And like the premise of that song ever happened.
(get outta here kid...ya bother me)
‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’
It didn’t age well. Liberals singing about poor people in Africa who are probably Muslim. Should be:
‘Do They Know It’s Winter Holiday?’
I will not hear a word said against “Snoopy’s Christmas.”
Rudolph:
Disagree. Sorry, I love the song and I love the message. It’s about IDIOT KIDS being bullies and finally realizing we all have gifts, even if we are different. So there.
(And in the claymation documentary about this song, we see Santa is not a cool kid at all. He’s a total a-hole, worse than the kids, because he is hundreds of years old and should have known better. He comes crawling at the end because he needs Rudolph.)
Besides, in the song Mary is really a metaphor for everyman. WE are the ones being informed of the real identity of the baby boy. It isn’t being directed to Mary but to us.
So, I think it’s an excellent song.
You are right, I love the song!
When we have in service (AKA....torture days) days an education consultant uses the word unpack. “We are going to unpack this sentence, paragraph, etc.” She is also cruel & verbally abusive to us lowly teachers. When she uses unpack I fantasize about ripping out her vocal cords.
Another hated phrase, “Wears many hats.” Why do these people exist????
Except they were not "non-Christians" but Christian and the reason they were starving was because a Soviet supported war was devastating their country.
All the food and equipment sent in by that fund raiser went to the Communists and never reached the people they were supposedly helping.
Most of my family despises “I Wanna Hippopotamus For Christmas” but I tear up when it comes on. One of my sons did a baby gymnastics routine with his class at about age 2 or 3 to it. I picture those cute little guys rolling and dancing to it under the clear view of the coach prompting them and I get all torn up. To die for cute.
For some reason, I get the “creeps” when Burl Ives sings “Kiss her once for me!”.
As long as we keep ‘Walking’ Round in Womans Underwear’ I’ll be happy.
Lowell, is that you?
