we're not going to have a culture anymore and watch out, more songs, movies, etc, will be shelved and banned.

My wife once said “The liberals don’t think it’s rape until the woman wakes up the next morning with regrets.”

Exactly. We are here:“If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

“Hey, what’s in this drink?” is, I think, a bit of a giveaway.

And I bet the hags who are most offended are beasts who couldn’t get laid during Fleet Week after a year tour at sea.

I’ll take my Christmas without a side of sexualization thank you.

A much older song is “Silent Night.”

But filthy rap lyrics are just fine.

If Silent Night is one of your favorites I’m curious what your favorite version is. I love the Carpenters version. Karen’s voice is beautiful, angelic and the music/chorus is beautiful. I listen to A LOT of Christmas music and I can’t think of a better performance.

Silent Night — Bing or Nat King Cole, both do excellent versions

That is a nice version. Another one that comes on the radio around here is the Elvis version. There is a version with a high clear soprano but I don’t know who it is that does it.

The original sheet music refers to a “mouse” who is trying to go home and a “wolf” who wants them to stay.

Them who?

I think its a pretty factual song about truths of men and women.

Men know what they want.

Women have no idea what they want. This, that, both, all, nothing. All at the same time.
