So I was listening to "Frosty the Snowman" in the car this morning, and I guess I'd never really paid attention to the lyrics. Why exactly did a traffic cop stop a magic snowman leading a group of children? A traffic cop? Does anyone else have bizarre holiday song questions? (Other than the guy in "Baby it's Cold Outside" slipping something in the girls drink)
maybe the light was out and he didn't want them to get run over, then they only paused a moment before jaywalking.
There was a time young lady, when traffic cops stood in the center of an intersection and directed traffic. Even pedestrian traffic crossing the intersection. Oh man am I old.
My question is always about sugar plums. Really? The kids had nothing better to dream about than sugar-coated fruit?
Figgy Pudding seems to have gone out of vouge.
Who would actually want some kid drumming away while their newborn tried to sleep??

The original post started out as a plausible and timely question on Christmas Eve. However, you blew it with the last sentence "other than the guy ... blah, blah, blah ..."
You completely put me off with the inappropriately mixing of gender war date rape issues with a romantic Christmas carol written in WWII era America. Hopefully this thread is short lived.
hey let's not forget about the fetal alcohol syndrome reindeer
"Baby it's Cold Outside" song is creepy.
Just to be clear, nobody's even a little curious about the whole virgin birth thing, right?
In reply to Gary:
I'm terribly sorry, how did my referencing an odd lyric ("Say what's in this drink?") to a holiday song inappropriately mix into the thread about odd lyrics in holiday songs? Have a happy holiday.
I don't ever recall telling "scary ghost stories" around the Christmas tree, but according to The Most Wonderful Time of the Year lyrics that is an integral part of the season's celebration.
Grinch Gary....get a grip. Seriously.
In Run, Run Rudolph it says to tell Rudolph to "take the freeway down". Why would he use the freeway? Here in Atlanta, he'd be stuck in traffic until New Years...

I believe bad renditions of this song are directly responsible for holiday depression syndrome.

Ever heard Bruce Springsteen sing christmas songs?
"We need a little Christmas" irks me because I really don't & it's so damn pushy.
Ok, sure, I've been down lately and could use a little something to pick me up, but........right this very minute? Berk you, sometimes you can tell me what to do & sometimes you can tell me when to do it but who gave you the right to issue these demands?
What a strange thread.
If you're pondering Christmas lyrics, it must be time for more egg nog.

yeah … there's not much on this thread that I understand 
South Park did had Bill Cosby and Tailor Swift doing Baby it's cold outside last week. It seemed fitting.
"Merry Christmas to all"
Bah Humbug !
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. I mean, the kid has to go back to sleep with that confusing image? Really? Sure,go ahead, sit on Santa's lap next year, he brings gifts. Makes dad seem like a chump. That's years of therapy right there.
How did Wham write a Taylor Swift song several years before she was born?
How did "favorite things" become a Christmas song?

Hearing the same 10 songs, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. You get bored and REALLY start listening to the lyrics.
