In reply to:

Eric Cartman's version of O Holy Night (with the cattle prod of course)


My Christmas playlist in iTunes includes a liberal spattering of South Park music. That's one of my favorites. The falsetto bit and subsequent sputtering is awesome.

Ya know? I joke a lot about being an old guy, and having "senior moments." And, they are funny. But, there are times when they can be a bit scary, not to mention horribly embarrassing. Within the last hour I had a couple of them, which I won't expose. A guy can only stand so much humiliation.

However, I must own up to one I committed in this thread. I consider myself a VERY knowledgeable old movie and music buff. While hardly an expert, I know an awful lot about the movies and music of the 30s, 40s and 50s. With that in mind, you may recall, earlier in this thread, my waxing poetic about Judy Garland's marvelous version of I'll Be Home For Christmas from the classic movie Meet Me In St. Louis.

The only problem is, Judy Garland didn't sing I'll Be Home For Christmas in Meet Me In St. Louis. She has probably sung that song countless times, but NOT in that movie. What she sang was Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, another of my favorites, and she did it beautifully. She sings it wistfully, almost sadly, and it is quite touching. The song has a couple of my favorite lines from any Christmas song - "...faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us, once more," and "Through the years we all may be together, if the fates allow, until then we'll have to muddle through, somehow."

Anyway, I know better, and I'm am embarrassed to have made such an error. I offer my humble apologies, and am sufficiently contrite.

Jack I do beleive that was far to serious an apology. Any thread involving the McKenzie brothers and South park is sure to forgive you for mixing up songs in a movie from before I was born. (had to get that old guy rib in there somewhere )

Duane:
No offense, but you're new here and don't know the rules.

Jack, as per those rules, (505-e paragraph 4) a reference to music within a movie made in error means you must forfeit your newest piece of HT equipment to the person that cites the correct reference in "The Axiom Forums Rules of Engagement". If the rules don't sound familiar, it's because you simply don't remember them.

I'll PM you my address. Did you save the shipping box?

Mark, you should know better.

Subsection 517, paragraph 8 clearly states that anyone trying to enforce 505-e-4 that has not, in fact, cited the correct reference in the same thread is subject to forfeiture of his most recent purchase. Since Judy never sang "I'll be home for Christmas" in a movie, I think you're in big trouble here.

I'll PM you my address for the BFD.

Mark,

I concur with John Lennon's Happy Xmas(War is Over). Have you heard Neil Diamond's version he did for a special a few years ago. He performed with a choir of young people. I thought it was awesome. I would like to add a few.

1. All I want for Christmas
2. The Little Drummer Boy
3. Run, Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry

and of course, my wife's favorite, since she let me order the HSU VTF3 is Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.
