Man, my hands and arms have just got mangled this month. I've burned them, scraped them, given myself two matching paper cuts just under the nail on both middle fingers, and I'm fighting off another eczema outbreak. I'm blaming the endless covers of "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer" they force us to listen to at work. Over

BTW the annoying black kid is Michael Jackson. We get to hear that one too though there are at least some Drummer Boys and Silver Bells to space it out.

No Mele Kalikimaka though. Sigh.

Oh, huh. Oddly enough, they used to play the Michael Jackson song when I worked for Macy's too. The rest of the line-up is different -- they're playing a lot more classics and rock covers at Fred Meyer than I remember hearing at Macy's -- but that one's the same. There's this one rock cover of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas that's really fun to listen to!

ack, at my workplace it's Baby It's Cold Outside at least three times an hour, several different versions thereof, and I swear to god there is only so much daterape I can deal with at the ungodly hours I work. :/ In my head I get to play the HP Lovecraft Historical Society versions of all the Christmas songs. Silent Night, Blasphemous Night is my favourite; Monsters rising from deepest Rileh / people screaming 'please go away' / Great Cthulhu has come / Great Cthulhu has come

I actually had to go look the lyrics up, because I totally didn't notice the whole daterape thing. That's...pretty skeevy. Oh man, and according to wikipedia the printed score marks the male and female parts as "wolf" and "mouse." The 40s were a skeevy, skeevy time.

Also apparently it was written by a husband and wife duo, and the wife was furious when her husband sold the rights to the song to MGM, because she considered it "their song." (facepalm)

There is nothing a little Lovecraft can't fix. XD Have you read "A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman? It's a fusion of Lovecraft and the Sherlock Holmes stories, with a twist.
