I'd sing it far and wide. I heard it over the sound system in an Idaho restaurant while visiting in-laws and got all excited. They'd never heard of it before.<BR/><BR/>I caught part of the Rudolph claymation special while surfing.

I've never heard that one. I'm gonna have to go to iTunes and check it out.<BR/><BR/>NG: They're horrible, aren't they? I think we were just politically, demographically, and sociologically oblivious as kids. And our parents can't be blamed, because that's the construct they grew up with and played into. I'm just glad we're a little more enlightened now!<BR/><BR/>Di: Hear! Hear! Hey, here's a bit of trivia for you from Bee.
