I've decided my least favorite is the rendition of "Jingle Bells" that ends with the driver cracking the whip and the horse neighing in alarm (or pain).


Oh, what about the Barbra Streisand version?

 :laugh:

if you haven't heard it, listen once, all the way through.






Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''
'Voulez-vous, will you kiss my dick?'
Will you play my record? One-track mind!

"Upsot??"


""Upsot" is a nonstandard dialect word that means to capsize, get turned over, or become upset. It was a 19th century device used to add rhyme and wit. For example, in the second verse of "Jingle Bells," the line "We got into a drifted bank/And then we got upsot" refers to the sled crashing into a snowbank."

Yes. It's used to rhyme with "lot," referring to the line about the horse, "The horse was lean and lank/Misfortune seemed his lot," earlier in the verse.
