Ummm... Is the core rhythm in #TheLittleDrummerBoy
the same as Ravel's #Bolero?
(If so, introduces tangents in the lyrics....)

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
As example of #TheLittleDrummerBoy 🥁 sounding like the version of #Bolero played by the Bo Derek character in the movie "10",
consider the Avalon Pops Orchestra rendition:

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is example
of why Christmas hosts become frazzled due to "requests":
"...bring us some figgy pudding..." several times, with
the "We won't go until we've got some..." being
more demanding than the guy in "Baby It's Cold Outside"….📋

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
Are the six different birds mentioned in "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
the singer's way of hinting they want a supersized version of a turducken, a rôti sans pareil?
If so, are the birds listed in the correct order of insertion?

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
In #TheTwelveDaysOfChristmas, "…maids a-milking…" portion does not clarify whether each has own cow (are there eight cows included in the accumulation of creatures) or
all maids are simultaneously milking one cow…
assuming the milked IS/ARE cattle….🐄

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
In "Santa Baby" (especially the Eartha Kitt version),
what does she REALLY mean by
"Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's..."?
(Did Tiffany's even offer marital aids seven decades ago?....)

#ChristmasCarolsThatMakeYouGoHmmm:
"I'll Be Home for Christmas" usually sung SO melancholy-sad (like an #SCTV Perry Como).
Need #PathologicalOptimist version: 🎶 🎵 "I WILL be home for Christmas!…" 😊 🎵 🎶
Need #DysfunctionalFamily version: 🎶🎵"I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!"🤬🎵🎶
