The most wonderful time of the year...

Everyone has holiday traditions, right? For me, it's the December edition of missung lyrics.



My favorite is Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song"-
"And so, it's been said, many times, many ways
"Merry Christmas, screw you"


But there's also "Deck the Halls". Everybody knows the Fa la la la la part. But how many know the second verse? I'll bet I'm the only one that sings:
"See the blazing yule before us, fa la la la la, la la la la
Strike the harp and then Chuck Norris, fa la la la la, la la la la"

And there's the version of "Let It Snow" that a high school friend of mine liked until I sang it a few too many times in her presence.
"And since we've nowhere to go
You're a ho, you're a ho, you're a ho"

Anyway, whether traditional, unique, or just plain twisted, may you and yours have a great holiday season!

Die, James Blunt, Die!!!

My title would be more vehement, but anyone who uses more than three exclamation points after a sentence is clearly more insane than I choose to be.

Stupid You're Beautiful song. It's been almost three years, why is it still torturing me? Think about these lyrics-

My life is brilliant (well, we obviously know he's modest...NOT)
She was with another man...but I've got a plan (what plan is that? he figures he'll never see her again or make any attempt to talk to her. IDIOT!)
We shared a moment that will last 'til the end (ok, moment's over, ended, GIVE IT UP!)

I swear to Gods, that song makes me want to barf like a chicken.

Amusingly limited...

I've been accused (and deservedly so) of being cinelinguistic. In other words, while I cannot go an hour, let alone a day, without quoting music lyrics or Simpson's tidbits, my main source of quotables comes from movie dialogue.

Anyway, that makes me wonder...what else from movies could I corrupt for my own life purposes? Wouldn't a day to day soundtrack be great?

Keep in mind, I don't mean a soundtrack in the sense that all my high school ex-boyfriends think of Don't Go Away Mad when they remember me. Nor am I talking about the fact that I like to play Moby's version of Verb when I'm speeding along in my car.

This is what I want - if I'm sick of the drama brought on by others, wouldn't it be good to hear something like I am a Rock? If I'm hanging with my friends doing nothing in particular but enjoying it immensely, I want happy cheery music going on behind the scenes (think Sunshine and Lollipops).

And yes, if I take Kudzu for a walk late at night, somebody could always warn me about the axe murderer possibly lurking in the shadows, waiting for an unsuspecting victim, but wouldn't it be more fun to open the front door and hear the theme from Halloween?

Can anyone else think of other situation/music pairings for my impending soundtrack?
