all I want for Christmas...

[topaz]

While driving in to work yesterday, I heard on the radio (on one of our new all-Christmas-all-the-time radio stations) "I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas." Mad props to muckefuck for finding a link to the song.

I cannot understand how I have gone 35 years of my life without ever hearing this song before.  A childhood that included annual renditions of "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" and Eartha Kitt singing "Santa Baby" should surely have brought this into my life too, but apparently not.

So the Mr. Turkey song wasn't good enough for you after all, huh?

The Labradoodle Song!

I want a labradoodle dog for Christmas
Only labradoodle dog will do
No golden cross, or dopey labrador
I want a labradoodle dog to guide me through the door!

I can see it now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise, when before my very eyes
A labraoodle standing there!

I want a labradoodle dog for Christmas
Only labradoodle dog will do
I'll brush its fuzzy coat and clean its ears and then
I'll feed it and I'll take it to the veterinarian!
