Sage Words of Advice for this Holiday Season

[anigo]

If you would like to live a long and happy life, don't record any Christmas Music.

I was just listening to a mixed CD when I realized...

Judy Garland - Have yourself a merry little christmas
DEAD

Karen Carpenter - Frosted Windowpanes (Among other stuff)
DEAD

Muppets and John Denver - Silent night (And other stuff)
DEAD and DEAD (ok, so the muppets aren't "officially" dead, but Jim Henson is pushing up the holly and the ivy)

Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney - SNOW, (Among other stuff)
DEAD and, you guessed it, DEAD

The Chipmunks - Christmas time is here
Ok, so maybe not "officially" dead, as they're not actually really alive, but so low on the entertainment scale that they might as well be deceased.

The Simpsons, featuring Troy McLure - Jingle Bells
DEAD

Burl Ives - Holly Jolly Christmas
NOT SO LIVING

Wham! - Last Christmas
Well, we can only hope, eh?

Meryn Cadell - The Cat Carol
THE CAT DIED!!!! (Bad song. Bad! If you've never heard this song, try to remain in such state for as long as you can. BAD BAD SONG!)

On the other hand...

Elvis Presley - Blue Christmas
ALIVE, and currently serving burgers in Michigan somewhere

Just thought I'd share.

Seasons Greetings!

You forgot one of my favorites!

Dean Martin.

Uh, also DEAD.

Mel Torme is still alive though. (He wrote The Christmas song, AKA Chestnuts Roasting ...blah blah blah)

Jack Frost roasting on an open fire... chestnuts nipping at your nose...

I'm sorry. I hate to tell you this but Mel died in 1999 of a stroke.
