    I don't mean to be a jerk (well, maybe I do) but Neil Sedaka wrote "Love Will Keep Us Together", not Daryl Dragon. And Neil probably could afford a decent horn section.

    Congress only has a few weeks left to push through the Lee-Greenwood-jacket-burning ban.

    Speaking of jackets, what's up with Lee's tux jacket in that video? It looks like pigeons shit all over his shoulders.

    Oh, you think Neil can afford a horn section, do you? Funny you should say that...
  • Old_Davy · 1 year ago
    Oh God. This is scarier than the lead-up to the shower scene in "Psycho".

    You MoFos! The MP3 froze my laptop--with Lee "Suddenly I'm a Chipmunk" Greenwood singing, and me unable to turn the volume down! I had to take the battery out to stop him!

    As for the two-thirds of this song I didn't have a chance to scream through being not-bad...along with the rest of his Holiday album...I'm just gonna take your word for it, and wonder if all this crapola isn't starting to alter your brain chemistry.

    Oh, it is. There's no question. Wait until you hear our "favorite" track of the season.

    It's not just hyperactive. Does this not sound rushed to anyone else? Not just the pushed tempo, but the whole manner of vocal delivery. It sounds like Lee Greenwood burst in to the studio and said, "Lets go people, one take. I got bitches coming over at 5."

    He slowed down a bit for the Winter Wonderland part, but it was still sort of pushed.

    Lee Greenwood presents: A Red Bull and Crystal Meth Christmas!

    I believe "I got bitches coming over at 5" is the first line of the long-lost third verse to "God Bless the USA."

    This Mellowmas must have a slow-building theme happening. Aside from the Little Ringworm Band, the selections have been disappointingly tolerable. I mean, yeah, great for the holiday season, but it's like the little penny-snap that makes you think it will all be okay. Then you get the boot to the crotch.

    Guys... are you plotting a severe boot to the crotch?

    You aren't wearing a cup, are you?
  • DwDunphy · 1 year ago
    Yikes. The buggers just jumped inside all on their own there...
  • arensb · 1 year ago
    You mean, something like "What Do You Get A Wookiee for Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb)?" ?
  • DwDunphy · 1 year ago
    No, that's awful in a whole different sense. Nerd Christmas is one thing. I'm looking for angels crying and shouting "What have you done" while the rivers run red with the leeching dye from a thousand Santa Clauses, trying to wash the unholy horror of what they heard away from them... But it won't come clean. IT WON'T COME CLEAN.

    That's all I want.

    Ah, you mean Bing Crosby's duet with David Bowie, the one where they forgot the rule that both singers in a duet are supposed to sing the same song.

    Apropos of nothing, Has Marilyn Manson released a Christmas album? 'Cos I'd pay to hear that.
  • DwDunphy · 1 year ago
    Oddly, I like the Bing & Bowie. I need the seraphim and cherubim whacked out on Vicodin, that's what I'm lookin' for.
  • arensb · 1 year ago
    Hm. See anything you like at B-Sides for X-mas?

    Can I interest sir in RuPaul's cover of "Little Drummer Boy"? Or some MIstletoe Disco Band, perhaps?

    That sped-up voice has GOT to be a defect in something -- mastering or manufacturing or something. I don't care how many bitches he's got coming over at 5, the Greenster doesn't sound like that. Unless, of course, he was really, really high at the time, then all bets are off.

    Speaking of defects, who wrote that "Points of Light" shit? Orrin Hatch? What a flaming pile of monkey poo. Red, white, and monkey poo.
