"Thinkin' of you's workin' up a' appetite?"  The grammar alone is worthy of snark, not to mention the content being a product of the times they were a' livin' and a' writin' in.  Lighten up, bebeh.

Where the hell do those kids come from on Rudolph?? They just pop out shrieking from hell's depths. Not cool, SVB! That is NOT mellow. Clearly recorded in the days before Ritalin. The sad thing is, most of the "good" tracks are ripped from standard arrangements. With the female flatness and the occasional papa-oom-mow-mow from the bass guy, any local choir can pull this stuff out (and do) every year. But they would've had the sense to leave the ocarina at home. Er, thanks for sharing, guys. It was fun. Hope you have the energy to do it again next year! Jesus!
