Lets the record straight, I much I love Christmas, mainly because I love to be with my family, I think they are the best in the world (yeah thats really biased), I don't mind the gifts, and the lights, and the noise noise noise, and surprisingly I don't mind the religious meaning (I'm an Atheist, I'll talk about it some other time) but the thing is...I hate Christmas music!!
I personally cannot stomach this crap, yes its traditional, yes it makes people get in the spirit, but I hear it so many times that I am so sick of hearing it, but out of all of the Christmas music, the one I will never get tired of hearing no matter what, and in a strange way, it always gets me in the spirit of Christmas...Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you...Christmas at Ground Zero
An original song by the great Weird Al Yankovic, defiantly one of my personal favorites, I would say that this tops most of his music HE written, I will admit it, his parodies trumps over his original songs, hell even his polkas are better, don't get me wrong, I do like most of his originals, its just many of them are hits and misses. If I have to pick 3 songs, I would pick (in no order) Dare to be Stupid, One More Minute, and Albuquerque. Anyway, I am just rambling on here. The reason why I like this song is because for some reason I really do like his dark sense of humor, many people do not know that Weird Al does have a real good scenes of humor, not all of his jokes are just for kids but it has a little something for Adults, thus explain that there are fans that are at least 16 or older. I mean, when I saw this video from College Humor, I thought that sketch was a genius idea
Anyway, I adore this song and its been playing on my iPod especially around this time of year, there is something about thtat just catches my ear, especially after 9/11 the meaning of the word "Ground Zero"has since changed, and I like looking at all the dumbasses thinking the song is about 9/11, but the song is actually about the cold war, hell even the video basically used old educational and news reel films that where used around the Cold War era, even former president Ronald Reagan made an appearance. While I'm at it why do people think the song "911 Was A Joke" is a song about 9/11? the song is about Police...and not a positive look at it. I don't know, I generally like to play with people and there stupidity, makes me happy I live in the Post 9/11 era.
Leaving on a positive note, I like this song, it is my all time favorite Christmas song, I wish you all a Happy Holidays!!! and I am sorry for a crappy entry :3
