Producers: "What... you think we're made of money?"
Director: "Kinda. Yeah."
Producers: "We can't afford a lodge full of Extras. Use some of the mannequins We found in the warehouse we rented to shoot this thing!"

I'll be honest, I was waiting for Michael McDonald to start singing. Are you sure he was not involved?

As horrifying as it seems, this record was an extraordinary big deal when it came out. Country stations played it, A/C stations played it, and if you tune in your local best-variety-of-today-and-yesterday A/C station in the next 10 days, you'll hear it. Unless you tune away to something else quickly.

Michael is right, this whole production has a McD-esque sheen to it. The Keyboard sound, the fake strings. Everything.
Also, I could have lived my WHOLE life without hearing Dolly Parton singing about a fast-talkin lover with some slow burnin' wood. *Shudder*

Dear God, are you saying David Foster is responsible for this?

Yep...keyboards, Producer and Rhythm Arrangements! I really thought The Fozz would've shown up earlier on Mellowmas. Then again, we still have several days left...

Mikey, what is your Parton-lovin' wife going to think of this one?

I don't think she is allowed to question anything Dolly does, says or wears.
I'm not saying she "worships" Dolly, per se...OK, I am saying that.

I have mixed feelings about Dolly. She has a wonderful voice, can write a dynamite song, is a very savvy businesswoman, can be a brilliant interpreter of other people's material, and realizes that the whole "Dolly" persona is a complete joke. But then she goes and does shit like this.
Kenny, on the other hand, is a complete waste of egg nog.

UNLESS he's hanging out with Lionel Richie. (The CMT Crossroads ep with the two of them is awesome.)

Just so long as "hanging out" doesn't also include "slow burnin' wood".

Speakin of that, the album cover looks like Kenny's "slow burnin wood" AND the reindeer are being shoved up Dolly's.... um....southern chimney.....

So would that constitute a hoedown or a hoe-up?

And, of course, the whole Dolly-Wood double entendre wedges itself in quite nicely.

My college girlfriend once told a roomful of students in a Rhetoric of Contemporary Culture class, who had just spent five minutes trashing Dolly's persona, that she had always liked Dolly "because she has a lot of class."
We didn't last long after that.

Something you never say in Sunday School: Dolly is jerking Kenny’s boots off!

I didn't know they had christmas in gatlinburg. I thought they just had bow season and rifle season.

Please clear up something for me. Which one of the mannequins is Kenny ROgers in that video?

Take out the Hot AC synth trappings, and I can listen to this.

Having been out of town, I'm just now reading this, and may I just say that I hold Mr. Rogers in the highest regard, so while it was NOT me who suggested this track, I'm very pro-Kenny, dammit! (Hell, I just watched "Six Pack" a couple of weeks ago!)

Good grief. I just got around to listening to this awful track. Who knew Kenny & Dolly were into singing about booty calls before hip hop got in on the act?
I don't get it. I always assumed that people only write Christmas songs because they'd like for them to become classics, or see them at least as sing-a-longs. WTF is this!?
Holy mother, the Judy Collins Sarajevo one just started... ugh.
