Absurd Christmas Lyrics...

[Rob Roy MacGregor]

From the song, "Do you hear what I hear"....


....a child, a child, shivers in the cold.... Let us bring him silver and gold.

Only a Jew could have written that!

Just an observation.

[Mann]

Only a jew could have written that!


That's a good poinnt, even if it wasn't a jew who wrote that carol. (Who was it, btw?)

I always thought it was strange that the Magi would offer earthly treasures to JC, when the fable clearly presents him as an unearthly being right from the start. Maybe it was to buy off Mary and Joe, to get them to get outta town. They would have believed JC was special, since he was "foretold" etc etc., and so it would be a cost-effective way to nip any trouble in the bud.

In any case, since the fable was written, produced and directed by jews, you have to expect there'd be a lot of money changing hands, in the story. They can't fucking help themselves!

And now, for my response to this post's doppleganger in "Media criticism":

Well, it's a song about the Nativity, so I doubt it (that he's a Jew). In fact, according to the obituary (http://slick.org/deathwatch/mailarchive/msg00933.html) of Noel Regney (the song's co-author), he...

...was drafted into the Nazi army despite being a Frenchman. He
soon deserted and joined a group of French resistance fighters. While
still with the Germans, he once intentionally led his platoon toward a
group of French partisans and was shot.

Regney and his wife, Gloria Shayne wrote that and other songs together, and Regney co-wrote "Dominique-a-nique-a-nique" with the Singing Nun (http://www.swinginchicks.com/singing_nun.htm). (One November night a couple of years ago, while listening to an oldies countdown show, I learned that the latter song was #1 the day Kennedy was shot, edging out "Louie, Louie". Creepy.)
