SMM's Yuletide Tower

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 10:11 am

the lovely SMM tried this last year, and I screwed it up for her, and probably didn't apologize either - so, to make things right, I'll steal her idea and start this over.

everybody remember how to play?

Flattery will get you everywhere, m'dear Moods! I was thinking of reinstituting this myself, as I do love goofy Christmas music. (And I had no memory of you ruining the thread last year, btw!)

Out goes Sting.... in comes one a seriously corny one I adore....

Actually, I think it was I who screwed it up. Don't co-opt my guilt, ladies - after all, it's Christmas, and the guilt's all mine!

Gotta boot John Couger Melonballs - I once chucked garbage at him, so I wouldn't feel right about letting him slide now.

In goes Lou Rawls!

A classic, one, that. Played to within an inch of its life over here, but good anyway. No one does a Santa ho-ho-ho like The Big Man.

I'm taking out Ella cause she's done much better in this genre (as our marvelous Moody no doubt knows!!).
