I’m listening to Ella Fitzgerald just doing a marvelous version of “Sleigh Ride.”
Why do songs like that disappear, I guess tomorrow?
Can’t we have Dino do “Marshmallow World” in January?
The Hall family certainly left their mark!
Don’t be Silly! It lost the whole Wheel! Not just a flat.
I always wondered why Rudy didn’t tell Santa to eat a bag of dicks. “Oh, you like me now, Fat-Man? Please see the Mistletoe hangin’ off my tail, Bitch!”
I have always loved this song and could never get on board with those that find it “rapey”. That being said, I know realize that in most versions I’ve heard, the man’s patter is significantly overpowered by the woman’s. Then I heard Dean Martin’s. OK, I sort of get it now 
I remember as a teen, working at Wet Seal in the mall, we played the Rock and Roll Christmas album on repeat. If we’re to believe John Cougar Mellencamp, he saw Mommy tinkle on Santa Claus. That’s not better.
We sang “like Columbus”. French asshole, Italian asshole…as long as it scans.
I’ve always liked “On your report card” more.
It does depend, for me, on who sings it. I always liked Dean Martins version, but yeah, it’s not as bad as people say.
On Brian Setzer’s Christmas album, he does a version of Baby Its Cold Outside with Ann-Margaret, which isn’t too bad until you realize she’s probably old enough to be his mother.
As always, the Muppets did it best. Here’s Miss Piggy with Rudolf Nureyev
Say, what’s in this drink?
Well, you keep forgetting to take your arthritis medicine, so I got creative…
For true Chicagoans.
Winter Wonderland
Why on Earth would Parson Brown be at all interested in whether or not two children/teens are married? Unless they’re really laying it on with the PDA or something, which, did that happen in the 1930s?
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Did/do people really tell “scary ghost stories” at Christmas?
I always assumed that was a reference to A Christmas Carol.
Little St. Nick
“Half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead” – what happened to the other two? Reindeer sausage?
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Which parents were far enough ahead of the curve to have a daughter named “Jen” in 1951?
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day - Who or what is “the snowman” who “brings the snow”? Some kind of mythical figure à la the Sandman?
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is badly in need of modernization.
All of the other reindeer
laughed at him and called him names
So Rudolph picked up an Uzi
and made them cower down in shame
For whatever it’s worth, “Jennifer” was the 98th-most popular girls’ name in the 1950s., so it was definitely on the way up in 1951.
I like Jimmy Buffett’s version, where the gender roles are flipped, with Buffett the one being offered a drink and being asked to stay at the female singer’s (Nadirah Shakoor) home. Instead of a father pacing the floor, it’s Jimmy’s puppy pacing and waiting for him to get home.
Who on Earth refers to popcorn as “CORN FOR POPPING”??!!? obviously aside from songwriters needing to rhyme “it doesn’t show signs of stopping”. WHO?!?
