XMAS TUNES YULE not HATE: MELE KALIKIMAKA
We swear there’s football content coming. With a chance to write about America’s best-dressed coach and dinner guest, FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger, there’s no chance of this NOT happening before 2 p.m.
However, we’ve caught Festivus fever, and nothing can stop us from posting the finest in both bad and awesome Christmas music. If your list does not include “White Christmas,” you can be forgiven; it’s played to death, a bit sleepy, and was once used as the theme of a proposed float for the KKK in a Tennessee parade during our youth. If you’re not feeling it, that’s just fine by us.
Take yourself to the wastelands, though, if you piss on Mele Kalikimaka, because the song fills us with total and complete joy. Pair it with the pool scene from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and let simmer for three minutes. Randy Quaid was thin back then, man.

Well at first I was gonna call you out for making KKK references while being from Franklin, TN which is well know as being composed of A: Yankees and B: Rich People. But seeing as you were born waaaay back in 76, I suppose the Klan may still have a had a hold in the area then.

Listen to the Stiff Little Fingers version of “White Christmas” and you’ll never rip on the song again.

Thanks for the memories Orson.
Not of Chevy Chase, but rather of Pheobe Cates in Ridgemont High.

Any “not HATE” list that doesn’t include the greatest Christmas song of all time is, sadly, not credited.

Hey, June Jones, does viewing this count as being “exposed” to Hawai’ian culture?
