BABY IT'S POORLY COVERED OUTSIDE

One of the local radio stations made the change over to Christmas Music the first Monday in November. Since there are only about a dozen or so Christmas songs (and Nooooo Dan Fogelburg's "Same Auld Lang Syne" does NOT count, no matter how many times you play it) you hear the same songs over and over by various artists.

I personally think the song that suffers the worst beating at the hands of different artists is "Baby It's Cold Outside". So please, all future generations of musicians, consider this song off limits.

Some of the worst offenders include:
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey
Ray Charles and Betty Carter
Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews
John Lithgow and Bebe Neuwirth (which is apparently so bad even YouTube doesn't have it)
And THIS Abomination, that American Idol can be blamed half for.

I swear, if God was one of us, God'd punch Bo Bice square in the throat.

What makes the song bad? A combination of things. Too slow, poor female singers, poor male singers, bad pairings of good singers and worst of all, forgetting this is a song that's supposed to be performed by Person A who is trying their best to knock boots with Person B, who is doing their best to at least pretend like they wouldn't like their boots knocked.

You know, like the original, from Neptune's Daughter.



THAT's how you do it.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!
