Courtesy Pandora Internet Radio we’ve had mucho Christmas music around here the past few days. If you look for “Holiday” in their genre stations, they offer choices of Christmas blues, jazz, rock, classical, folk, Motown, R&B/pop, swingin’, country and peaceful. We’ve mostly stuck with the folk option, but today created a station that will hopefully give us a nice mix of rousing and silly standards along with jazzy and swingin’ as we were needing some of the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman” variety. But after a few gallopin’ dances around the apartment to the sounds of jingle belly sleighs we’ve been stuck with soggy popcorn songs. Adding more variety as I write…
I don’t recollect what song we were listening to when I watched the video of Bush dodging shoes in Iraq. Man has some good reflexes! As an individual who was always the last one standing in the dodge ball games of childhood, I was kinda impressed with his skill.
Though I can’t say it was the best Christmas present ever as it’s not as if I endorse violence, I did go back and watch the video again while Burl Ives was singing “We are Santa’s Elves!”
Sirens are singing down the street outside. People gettin’ in the holiday spirit the outgoing grand poobah seems to inspire.
Update: We wanted to share the experience of listening to “We are Santa’s Elves” while watching Bush dodge shoes. So H.o.p. and I recreated it for you.
So pixelated. So wobbly. We will live with it.
