Rockin' Around the Cuss-mas Tree

What gets you in the mood (...for the holidays, you pervs)? For me, it's definitely Christmas carols. Nothing helps get me into the holiday spirit more than some classic Bing Crosby or Brenda Lee. And speaking of the latter, her version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is probably my all-time favorite Christmas tune - but not for the obvious reason.

I like it because it makes use of one of my favorite words: the F-bomb.

Okay, so it obviously isn't intentional. But as we were listening to the song a couple Christmases ago, Curtis pointed it out, and sure enough - there it is:

"Later we'll have some fuckin' pie and we'll do some ca-ro-ling!"

The line is technically supposed to say "pumpkin pie" ... but once you've heard it as "fuckin' pie," I swear you'll never hear "pumpkin" again. It never fails to make me laugh so hard I pee a little cry. In fact, I have it on a Christmas music CD and it has become somewhat of a tradition for Curtis and I to put that particular section on repeat and howl with laughter until tears are squeezing from our eyes and we can barely breathe. Good clean holiday fun!

Anyway, for your listening pleasure, I've included the song here so you, too, can "have some fuckin' pie." The line is only about 29 seconds in, and only happens once - so listen carefully or you'll miss it!



(Or, like us, you can replay ... and replay ... and replay.)

The best part is, you don't have to turn your speakers down for fear someone will hear "the dirty word" - even if you're at work! Just tell your boss to shove it, you're spreading Christmas cheer. And unless they're tipped off to the secret profanity that lies within this squeaky-clean carol, no one will be the wiser.

Happy effin' holidays!
