The grocery store has been playing it incessantly. In our multi-ethnic, multi-faith community.
I can’t hate on I’m Getting Nuttin’ for Christmas because someone made a video with that song playing over footage of their dachshund surrounded by a bunch of presents that he’d torn open from under the tree. It ended with him hopping into his dog bed as the lyrics sang: “because I’ve been nuttin’ but bad.” Very cute.
I selected all the songs except for Sleigh Ride, assuming it’s an instrumental version.
Ahhh, my gf does 90% of our grocery shopping
Depends. All absolutely verbatim, no dialogue or action at all guessed at, no minor event skipped over? I don’t think that’s necessary, even if it’s possible. Modified so as to significantly misrepresent known persons and/or events, because the director thinks it makes a better story? No, I don’t think they should do that.
I got whammed and mariahed by vids on facebook
I couldn’t vote for “All I want for Christmas” - not because I like Mariah’s version, but because I love this rockabilly version
But, holy 80s fashion!
Yes, it is nice, and grandma was funny the first few times. Christmas shoes in just about the worst, however.
And altho I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is something I can stand maybe once a season, there is a great version by Lake Street Dive.
I have ethical misgivings about “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”. Hippos are very territorial, and very aggressive, and giving one to a little girl is likely to get her killed.
I suppose it depends on the little girl.
Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says a hippo is a ve-ge-ta-ri-an.
I was literally singing this in a work meeting earlier, to the amazement and amusement of all.
Last Wednesday at the dentist. Not sure which was more painful (although they played songs, or versions of songs, that I wasn’t familiar with. So that helped).
i don’t like Christmas music because I don’t like Christmas, especially in September and October. If it started around December 15th, and everyone chilled the fuck out about it, I’d tolerate it better.
I was at the dentist not long ago having a tooth extracted. While doing so, I was subjected to “Escape (the Pina Colada Song)”.
Talk about torture. Cruel and unusual punishment, that was.
mmm
The first time I saw the title “I Want a Hippopotamus”, I read it as “I Want a Hippocampus”
Then don’t go to Fiji
I actually like that song - it’s about a couple where both of them are trying to cheat because “I was tired of my lady” When he answers her personal ad & they get together she says, “Ohh, it’s you” all lovey-dovey like. No embarrassment. No screaming & yelling, “You cheating bastard!”. No, “We gotta talk”
One of these times the song is going to be different, just like in one of the replays you’d think the quarterback would wise up & not throw that pick-six again. 
Yeah, i like that song, too. Although i wouldn’t want to listen to it over and over.
It is cool, but not played once every 15 minutes,
Which kind?
My wife and I visited a seahorse farm in Hawai’i. They have a big tank where you can touch the seahorses and let them wrap their tails around your finger. We walked out of there with my wife absolutely in love with them and saying she wanted to get some pet seahorses of our own. But after investigation, it seems they are pretty difficult to maintain and care for, so for now we are just sticking with our pet rats.
Ah, rats are so cute.
I know some people who should have a reverse lobotomy - having one added!
I shall be passing thru, & possibly stopping in, the rat capital of the US - NYC. Rats are defitinely NOT cute!
