Journey, Golden Retriever (2 y/o), AKC National Championship Dog Show, Orlando, FL • “He steals everything – there’s not one thing another dog can have in his mouth that he won’t steal. He’s sweet and annoying.”
topics apparent in traditional christmas carols that have Strangely Disappeared from modern canon:
- the devil
- the lord of this manor better give us booze or we’ll burn his house Down
- alternatively, give us some cash
- this plant is Red like the blood of Childbirth
- i was wooed in the sheep field
- what up, it’s the Devil again
- goods or tuppence may be exchanged for a viewing of this wren we’ve killed
- SWORD DANCE TUNES
- we sing in thanks of the maidservant who let the mob into the laird’s home
- dancing is a sin but do you think i’m gonna stop
- unlikely
- the apple crop better be good or next year it’ll grow fertilized with your blood
- the winter is cruel but the laird is crueler
- the church is also cruel
- it’s lucky to give us money. in this case, the luck is not getting stabbed
- really there are so many bangers
On this note:
This very good blog post about good Christmas carols, with youtube links, falling into these categories:
“1. Songs in Latin
2. Songs about food
3. Songs about Hell and/or avoidance thereof
4. Songs about decidedly non-canonical adventures of Jesus, Mary, and/or Joseph
5. Songs that use the word “flesh”
6. Good King Wenceslas”
