Yeah, I actually like Kitt’s version; she knew how to walk the line between winking camp and playful seduction. Every other version of it I’ve heard, though, has been fingernails-on-a-chalkboard annoying.

That was one of the covers they played at work the year every 15 minutes had some version of “Last Christmas” and “This Christmas”.

Thank you for sharing your experiences; hopefully, the more we can talk about this behavior openly, the easier it will be for others to spot it in their own relationships and convince themselves to get the hell away.

The deep dish pizzas have been consistently good when I’ve gotten them, but ordering one does mean waiting for it to be baked. The local location (which is also on the way home from work for me) used to have one mediocre Hot ‘n Ready pepperoni for every two good ones, but the last 5-6 pies in a row I’ve grabbed on my…

I’m not sure how well known Cartoon Brew’s Amid Amidi is in these parts, but (with the curious exception of Illumination films) he tends to be pretty rough on mainstream animated features. He was one of the people who got to see a screening of the completed film, and... well, the link address spoils his reaction to it:

The preantepenultimate pinnacle of thespianism, a truly enervating performance.

Naughty, about a woman who decides that the only way to win a custody battle against her “gaslighting trash-bag ex” is to track down Santa Claus and have him testify on her behalf.

I cannot wait for the celeb apologists and MRAs to spin and justify this behavior.

And Little Caesars remains both an anomaly and a revelation, with its large pepperoni pizza costing only $10.99.

Well yes, but I’ve learned in these discussions to ask about only one small point at a time. Too often I’ve seen, to use this as an example, the person going on and on about why Wilson is indisputably, thoroughly a liberal, while ignoring my real question about why they described Allen like that.

Alt-reich

he is seen as a Conservative

He was not just a cocaine trafficker, but also ratted out everyone he knew when he got arrested

I love everything about “Feliz Navidad” except for the fact that it’s the same song snippet played, what, 4 times in a row? Kinda repetitive, yeah.

Wait, people are trying to make Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” into a Christmas song? I thought panthercougar was referencing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus”, which is also out of place for this holiday, though not nearly as much as “Hallelujah”...

A few years ago, the store where I worked literally had a cover of “Last Christmas” and “This Christmas” playing every 15 minutes. All day long. For a month.

Going through a few other songs on the list:

OK, adding that one to my list, thanks! Oddly enough, my favorite Christmas song from the Beach Boys is also called “Santa’s Beard”, although it’s a completely different song altogether; if TMBG ever decided to cover it, I’m sure they could have a lot of fun with it.

Agreed; this one’s definitely being added to my holiday playlist, it’s just far too much fun.

I’d rank those in a tie for second place behind “Christmas Shoes”.
