"Mele Kalikimaka"

Ok, I think this is my favorite 'non-traditional' Christmas song. It's playing on our Muzac station right now. Of course, it immediately drums up an image of "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase, which is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Along with, of course, "A Christmas Story" and yes, I watch the marathon every year on TBS...I never tire of that movie. Ralphie is the best, hands down. Which reminds me of "Deck the Halls", which I can't sing without throwing in the 'Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra', courtesy of the 'Asian Serenade' the 'Parkers' received at the restaurant as they dined on Chinese food. Seriously folks...see the movie if you haven't already. It's funny how movies and television can have that affect on music and cause us to change our lyrics. I also can't sing 'Three Times a Lady' anymore...it's now almost always 'Fee Tines a Mady'...thanks Eddie Murphy.
