12 Days of christmas - Day 9

Greetings, my true loves. Today, January 3rd... is the 9th day of Christmas. And to celebrate... BRING ON THE DANCING GIRLS!!!!!! 9 Ladies dancing just for you. They are well versed in all forms of dance. Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Ballroom, Seven Veils, whatever you're into! They will continue to dance for you until you tip them, or the end of the day, whichever comes first. (The fact that I'm a day late in notifying you of this, probably clears up some confusion. Sorry about that. )

The Number 4 Best Christmas song of all time is.... The Vince Guaraldi classic "Christmastime is Here." This song has suffered from a bum rap. The original version appeared in "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and was performed by a chorus of tone deaf children. The innate immaturity and pitchiness of their voices was at the same time adorable, and irritating. Irritating enough for several people to indicate that they only enjoy the instrumental version of this song. However, now that it has been accepted as a standard, other vocalists and vocal groups have taken the song on and improved upon it. Most recently, the Sing-off's Afro Blue performed a kick ass a cappella arrangement. I encourage you to check it out.

However, the song that is terrible no matter who sings it, coming in at number 4 on our worst of countdown: Dominic The Donkey. I cringe every time I hear it. As a proud Italian-American, this song offends me on many levels. First Level: the blatantly sterotypical tarantella performance. Second level: The dialect. This and "Shut Uppa You Face" are the songs that made Jersey Shore what it is today. Third level: The lowering of Santa from a reindeer to a Donkey just to reach the lowly peasants in Italy. Disrespect much? Level 4-10: are the many layers of violence I want to commit on anyone who sings along with the Hee-Hawing of the chorus. GOD I HATE THIS SONG!!!!!! And this is only number 4!!! Just you wait!!

You know what I need? Some Leaping Lords. See you "Tomorrow."
