It was while watching this that I had another revelation. The same one I've had over and over again since I was 16 or so.
Fuck is our society ever cynical... it's disheartening. Even in a song ostensibly about trying to keep Christmas alive there is an economy message hidden at the back, entirely sarcastic, about how we need to spend, spend, spend!!
What's the opposite of bliss? ..because I think the opposite of ignorance has brought us there.
Hell, Yule here never had anything do to with Jesus to begin with. It was all about "It's so dark nowayears that the gloom is driving us mad. FUCK THIS let's party like hell!" and my take is that it's still about that. We ever have this story that the only reason Christianity made it into this country a thousand years ago was because the missionary was smart enough not to tell people to stop celebrating the heathen thing we called "Yule" – party on, but do it for the sake of Jesus. And everyone was like "Sure, why not? As long as we can party, we don't care if it's for Thor or Odin or Jesus." Probably an after-construction but it pretty much hits the nail.
You'll be proud to know that after ripping this song on Christmas, I played it in my car in front of Wal Mart this morning, loud as hell, with both windows down.
