Too Early?

That's some bridge...he fit a whole extra song in there. And this holiday season, I'm thankful for having my ear buds with me so I could listen in the car dealership where I'm getting my snow tires on.

The bridge (which is good - the main verses are just silly) goes on about three couplets too long. When it bends, it's funny; when it breaks, it isn't.

This is just the kind of thing my Wenatchee uncle will play at Christmas. But not once, no. He'll play it several times, laughing at each line as if he'd never heard it before. Since he's hosting (and we hope to stay in his will), we'll all smile politely.

Thanks, Dan.

I was kinda hoping the singer was gonna "see the light" at the end of the song....

The best thing just happened. The title of this song showed up on the screen ("I don't feel like fuckin' this Christmas") and then below it, one of those ads popped up: "...and I'm a Mormon". Best. Thing. Ever.

Tis okay, I think. "Solomon's Song of Song" is full of erotic imagery of sex, her breasts being "twin fawns" or her body being a garden filled of choice fruits inviting the lover to feast (4:12-16) - erotica written as poetry. The New International Version states that the lovers enjoyment as the Lord's gift and the Song "evokes sensuous awareness while avoiding crude titillation". According to this book of the Bible sex is good. So one could then interpret that Christmas sex is very good. The Lord's Christmas gift.

Damn, I really need to buy some headphones to bring to work.

Blink 182's "I won't be home for Christmas" is still my holiday anthem, it's been stubbornly hanging on to that spot since my teenage years. And Paul Kelly's "How to make gravy" (classic Aussie xmas song) if I'm feeling more solemn.

Love it -- it's captioned. But what exactly is a bridge? (I'm embarrassed to admit that I expected a visual of a bridge somewhere in the video, but clearly it's not that kind of bridge...)

Not much on Christmas myself, likely due to the saturation of holiday "music" in every public place of the United States in December. Scroogette? Yeah, you bet - especially about the "music." (This includes Adam Sandler's "Hanukah Song.")

My holiday anthem is "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S" by The Vandals.

" 'C' is for your little clit, when I go down beneath / 'H' is for your pubic hair that sticks between my teeth / 'R' is for your rectum, that 'I' fuck with my dick / Christmas comes but once a year; it makes me fucking sick..."

@12 BEG ....or, in layman's terms, it's the part at 1:05 in "back in the USSR" where it starts to sound like the Beach Boys. I find in a lot of songs, the bridge changes the beat too much, and takes it down a notch in a way I find distracting, but that's just me, probably.

Dee,

I love "How to Make Gravy", too. It makes me tear up. I learned to play it on my Martin. It is the best heartbreaking Christmas song I found. Plus, the basic recipe for gravy does work, except I skip the salt and use Vegemite instead.

Oh. My. God. I thought this was really funny--but then, I was thinking of how some people I know would react if this were to show up in their email inboxes! (They're not in my address book, because they're the type of people whose idea of a good time is sending out mass mailings calling Obama "Osama!")

Thanks for posting this, Dan. Merry fucking Christmas!

Keekee @18, nope, no Ovation, but two Martins, one Yamaha acoustic, one Stratocaster, and one Les Paul Standard. They help keep me out of trouble.

Thanks, Dee. <3, back at you.
