Thread Name: Holiday Song Challenge! (from up north)
Subject: RE: Holiday Song Challenge! (from up north)
Well, there's something about a guy in a skirt that leaves people kinda speechless. Unless he's playing bagpipes or reading Homer's 'Iliad' in the original Greek or something. Men are quite sensitive about what gives them a 'tilt in the kilt'!!! :-) !!!
Hee hee hee - sorry about that ...
I enjoyed the lyrics though - thanks Amos! My son played me one by Weird Al Yankovich the other day called "Walkin Round in Women's Underwear" in memory of my old friend. I was in stitches laughing - it IS funny! - but I was feeling a little guilty about it too. When you've known someone who's into that kind of thing - and thus the target of hate and intolerance - it gives you a different perspective on it I guess. A reason to be kind, not to judge. I'm not even interested in figuring out the "why's" anymore...
Although these lines DID ring true -
"They hardened their spirits and softened their chests They swore of all women they would be the best They vowed of all women to soon be the best".
Oh yes, and "He could get the parts but never the grace". I remember telling my buddy that once, when I was p****d at him!
