I’ll start by saying that I’m not a huge fan of Christmas music. Call me Scrooge, I don’t care! I’ve been called worse! But whether I like them or not, seasonal songs are inescapable. That said, I’ve noticed some weird Christmas song lyrics, and I will be highlighting them up until the point when I stop hearing them.
In The Carpenters classic “Merry Christmas Darling,” Karen belts out, “logs on the fire fill me with desire.” To me, that sounds weird. It sounds like she’s getting all randy thinking about logs. My sister agrees with me. “LOGS ON THE FIRE FILL ME WITH DESIRE…” Oh Karen! It seems that she's able to turn the least suggestive objects raunchy. If stumpy old burning logs are filling her with desire, I wonder what happens when she sees a candy cane. And let’s not even dare to imagine what she’d do upon catching sight of a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage (they ARE a holiday favorite)!
Okay so the song does go on to say, “logs on the fire fill me with desire to see you and say, ‘Marry Christmas, darling’” It makes more since that way, but she kinda mumbles that last part out. I’m sticking to my theory that Karen Carpenter is hot in the trousers for fire logs.
