The worst for me was Barbara Streisand's Jingle Bells. My mother used to play that record over and over every xmas. As if the family wasn't enough to drive me insane I had to listen to Streisand on speed wringing the soul out of a normally serene holiday classic. To this day that song makes me tense and ill. Clockwork Orange ill.
I never understood the line, "And the sun is red like a pumpkinhead". A red sun? And what is a pumpkinhead?
ReplyDeleteLove Dean's xmas. Thanks for this.

It's funny because I call my dog "pumpkinhead" (one of many nicknames) and his ears twitch when I play this song.
