Boy Band Sesh!

Every now and then, I find myself having an instant messenger conversation, that while entertaining, makes me want to judge myself. This most often happens during finals week, and sometimes, they are good enough to share. This is one of those times.

This topic of conversation starts off based on a discussion of New Kids on the Block’s upcoming reunion tour. My away message at this time referenced the concert coming to Jersey in September. What follows is a walk down memory lane. Enjoy.

Rum&Efron: you’re lucky...we have to wait until Oct 4th for Joey
Smurftastic: joey = lame
Smurftastic: jordan is where it's at
Rum&Efron: he was my second fav
Rum&Efron: obviously I had them ranked 1-5
Smurftastic: obvi
Smurftastic: if danny wasn't last, we are no longer friends
Rum&Efron: Joey, Jordan, Jonathan, Donny, Danny
Rum&Efron: in case you wanted to know
Smurftastic: I started out liking donny best
Smurftastic: when jordan had a rat tail
Rum&Efron: he did have an incredible rat tail
Smurftastic: then jordan cut his rat tail, and donny grew one
Smurftastic: so jordan made it to #1
Smurftastic: so my final cut was Jordan, Donny, Jon, Joey, Danny
Smurftastic: Donny and Jon were kind of tied for 2nd
Rum&Efron: WOW
Rum&Efron: I cant believe Joey wasn’t a top 2
Rum&Efron: suprising
Smurftastic: i know... i'm unique
Smurftastic: he was a little girly for me
Smurftastic: and his little boy voice just couldn't compare to jordan's falsetto
Smurftastic: plus i used my NKOTB dolls to play full house
Smurftastic: and joey was always joey Gladstone
Smurftastic: who was the most lame
Rum&Efron: amazing
Smurftastic: danny was not featured in the games with my barbies, cause he's the worst
Rum&Efron: I only had the joey doll
Rum&Efron: so I had to go to my friends house who had donny and jordan
Rum&Efron: danny was the worst
Rum&Efron: I wonder if he still has a complex
Rum&Efron: and if bad memories will resurface during the tour
Smurftastic: i hope
Smurftastic: extra points if donny burns down a hotel room
Smurftastic: danny = kevin from BSB
Smurftastic: he's a realtor now i think- : TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY!
Rum&Efron: he is a realtor...according to my People magazine\
Rum&Efron: he also has 2 or 3 kids
Smurftastic: YES
Smurftastic: BABY NKOTB
Rum&Efron: 1 of which he must have had literally right after they fell off the face of the earth, bc he's a teenager
Smurftastic: HOLY GOD danny has a teenager?
Smurftastic: REPLACEMENT!
Rum&Efron: for real
Smurftastic: for when his hip gives out and shit
Smurftastic: Jonathan almost dropped to #4 in my rankings after i saw true hollywood story and found out he dated that firecrotch Tiffani
Rum&Efron: he has anxiety disorder
Rum&Efron: which I find attractive for some reason
Smurftastic: if you haven't seen that THS, you really should watch it
Smurftastic: it's AWESOME
Smurftastic: it will make you love jon
Rum&Efron: Danny’s kids are : Anthony 16, Daniel Jr 15, and Vega 9
Smurftastic: VEGA?
Rum&Efron: what the fuck does vega mean?
Smurftastic: girl or boy
Rum&Efron: hmm
Rum&Efron: doesnt say
Smurftastic: ?
Smurftastic: WOW... vega
Rum&Efron: oh wait Chance is 9 too
Smurftastic: really
Rum&Efron: so 4 kids
Smurftastic: JESUS
Rum&Efron: with a set of twins
Smurftastic: i hope he married a groupie
Smurftastic: so chance's sibling is VEGA... ok
Rum&Efron: yes
Rum&Efron: I am thinking Vega is a girl
Rum&Efron: safe bet
Smurftastic: and probably will eventually be some sort of stripper
Rum&Efron: Jordan has 2 sons
Smurftastic: WHAT
Smurftastic: is jordan married?
Rum&Efron: yes
Rum&Efron: he has been married for 3 years
Rum&Efron: but his son is 9
Rum&Efron: so you do the math
Smurftastic: ILLEGIT
Smurftastic: MY WORLD IS COLLAPSING AROUND ME
Rum&Efron: Jon is single~~
Rum&Efron: Donny has Xavier 15, Elijah 7
Rum&Efron: Joey has a baby Griffin
Smurftastic: oh. my. god.
Rum&Efron: they were popping out kids
Smurftastic: i feel incredibly old right now
Rum&Efron: I am closer in age to their children then to them
Rum&Efron: sick
Smurftastic: wooooooow
Rum&Efron: I was still playing with barbies and they were procreating
Rum&Efron: oh man
Smurftastic: I WAS PLAYING FULL HOUSE WITH MY BARBIES AND THEIR DOLLS WHILE THEY WERE CHANGING DIAPERS
Rum&Efron: was that not featured in my Bop magazine???
Rum&Efron: how come I didn’t know they had kids?
Rum&Efron: I should have known in 93
Smurftastic: cause in 93, that was like Dirty Dawg years. I blocked it out of my mind
Rum&Efron: yeah I gave up on them then
Smurftastic: I mean I knew that Joey from NSYNC had a kid when the band was together, but i try not to think about it
Rum&Efron: yeah I was 16 then so I was cool with it
Rum&Efron: especially since he was my fourth fav
Rum&Efron: Justin, JC, Lance, Joey, and Chris
Rum&Efron: once again for your point of reference
Smurftastic: JC, Lance, Justin, Chris, Joey
Rum&Efron: wow you liked chris better than Joey??
Rum&Efron: even when he had crazy braids and wore those goggles?
Smurftastic: I enjoyed chris' dreadlocks
Smurftastic: also he waved at me at a concert once
Smurftastic: and i stood on a chair and touched the braids, they were sparkly at that time
Rum&Efron: I guess that does leave an impression on one's heart
Smurftastic: i had a chris poster in HS
Smurftastic: that someone bought me, and i felt bad not putting up
Smurftastic: but judged myself for owning
Rum&Efron: my whole freshmen dormroom was filled with Justin posters, bobble heads, and marionette puppets
Rum&Efron: my roommates were freaked
Smurftastic: also Chris was pretty hilarious...
Smurftastic: at times i debated ranking him above justin
Rum&Efron: WHAT
Rum&Efron: above Justin????????
Smurftastic: justin was so low because EVERYONE liked him and i didn't want to be like everyone else
Smurftastic: i made the JC over justin decision based solely on that
Smurftastic: less competition for JC
Rum&Efron: thats blasphemy
Smurftastic: i know
Smurftastic: i'm glad i never did it
Smurftastic: even for a day if that ranking changed in my mind... I don’t think I could live with myself
Rum&Efron: yeah I went back and forth between JC and Justin in the early years
Rum&Efron: but then stuck with JT all the way
Smurftastic: PS - did you ever watch Mission: ManBand on VH1?
Smurftastic: cause chris GETS AFTER IT
Smurftastic: i mean he's somewhat douche... but he gets after it
Smurftastic: but when i discovered JC was a host of America's Best Dance Crew I watched an MTV marathon for like 6 hours
Rum&Efron: ]well worth it
Smurftastic: i really wanted to go see Joey (NKOTB) when he was on broadway
Smurftastic: but never got around to it
Smurftastic: i'm hoping to not let that happen for clay aiken
Rum&Efron: are you a claymate?
Smurftastic: no
Smurftastic: but i lived w/ one for a semester
Smurftastic: we even drove to the indiana state fair for one of his concerts, which would probably have been lame... but there was a KEYTAR... Keytars are awesome
Rum&Efron: I think thats why I love Dancing with the Stars bc I am always secretly hoping for an old ass boy band member
Rum&Efron: Drew Lachey was my fav in 98 degrees
Smurftastic: oh drew was the best
Rum&Efron: and obviously Joey (NKOTB)
Smurftastic: DWTS got me hooked when they got NSYNC Joey
Smurftastic: namely to watch tfor the audience appearances
Smurftastic: fucking Justin never went
Smurftastic: ass
Rum&Efron: ass
Rum&Efron: I would like to see Nick Carter on
Smurftastic: that would totally work, but BSB sucks at dancing
Rum&Efron: and Nick Carter is so large and awkward now
Rum&Efron: it would be hilarious
Smurftastic: THOUGH, beyond audience appearances from the other band members
Smurftastic: we might get aaron carter
Smurftastic: which is reason enough for me
Rum&Efron: I LOVE HIM
Rum&Efron: I owe 1 cd of his
Rum&Efron: which I feel is alot for a 25 year old
Smurftastic: saw him in concert
Rum&Efron: You did????
Smurftastic: oh yeah
Rum&Efron: so jealous
Smurftastic: illinois state fair
Smurftastic: less than 10 rows back
Smurftastic: i had crazy high school friends who waited for three hours to get in the front
Smurftastic: and he kissed one of them on the cheek during the show
Smurftastic: mind you, we were 16 or 17 at this time
Smurftastic: and he was like 13
Rum&Efron: that is amazing
Rum&Efron: 1 benefit to living in Springfield
Smurftastic: same group of friends scored tickets to see him in peoria. on valentine's day. front row.
Smurftastic: one girl's long term boyfriends birthday was valentines day
Rum&Efron: WHAT??
Smurftastic: and she ditched him. for aaron carter.
Rum&Efron: fuck him
Rum&Efron: its Aaron Carter for crying out loud

And the best possible summary of this conversation =
Smurftastic: i feel like looking back on this conversation, i should hate myself. but i can't

Holiday Songs Update - Worst of the Worst, and honorable mention

Bored during finals again... naturally... so in honor of our earlier post, Smurftastic presents the 5 worst Holiday songs of all time, and honorable mention for the greatest holiday songs.

First... the worst of the worst, in no particular order. What gets you to be the worst? General suckiness, ridiculousness that is not amusing, cheesiness, and the ability to get stuck in my head when I don't want you there. Feel free to leave your comments about songs that drive you nuts!

The 5 Worst Holiday Songs of All Time:

• Love on Layaway - Gloria Estefan
• The Little Drummer Boy - Anyone (I have the WEAKEST of tolerances for the Bowie/Crosby version... very weak... but it's there)
• Blue Christmas - Elvis
• Away in a Manger - Mannheim Steamroller (pretty much anything by Mannheim fits here because, seriously, they are the Enya of Christmas music... sorry DJVic and brother)
• Here Comes Santa Claus - Ludacris (featured in the credits for Fred Claus... just, well, awkward)

And now... for those of you who enjoyed the Greatest Holiday songs of all time... here are Smurftastic's honorable mentions:

• All I Want for Christmas is a Real Good Tan - Kenny Chesney
• Wizard Chess - Harry and the Potters
• Angels We have Heard on High - Jesus (aka church music)
• Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - pretty much anyone
• Feliz Navidad - remember on Sesame Street Christmas when Big Bird ice skated to that song? AWESOME
• Run Rudolph, Run - Jimmy Buffett

Screw the writer's strike... we have bored law students during finals

What follows is an actual instant messenger conversation in which a movie was basically written. Try not to steal it. Because it WILL win the oscar. Enjoy.

Tex (1:55:03 PM): ok, i have a movie idea
Tex (1:55:15 PM): Smurftastic is... THE DIVORCE PLANNER
Smurftastic (2:05:44 PM): but that requires me to get married
Smurftastic (2:05:51 PM): whilst my true plan is just to get rich
Smurftastic (2:06:10 PM): and that have a HUGE party in which i wear a white dress, there is open bar, and we do the electric slide
Tex (1:55:38 PM): not really
Tex (1:55:46 PM): you can just plan each of my divorces for me
Tex (1:56:04 PM): Tex is a thrice-divorced attorney, living in new york
Tex (1:56:18 PM): he just got married and this time, he wants to make sure he gets his divorce right
Smurftastic (2:06:43 PM): and to avoid getting assraped by the Mrs.
Smurftastic (2:07:02 PM): he hires a spunky, talented, yet socially troubled law school buddy to help him w/ the prenup
Smurftastic (2:08:05 PM): it'll make you laugh, cry, and question your alcohol tolerance.
Tex (1:58:02 PM): and... we have our tagline
Tex (1:58:20 PM): you'll fall in love... before quickly falling out of love again
Smurftastic (2:08:35 PM): cultures clash as a corn fed alci from the midwest tries to navigate the complicated lovelife from a transplanted texan
Tex (2:00:14 PM): oh yes, it's the wedding planner meets fear and loathing in las vegas
Smurftastic (2:11:07 PM): does that make me j-lo? cause i need a bigger ass
Tex (2:01:05 PM): no no, that makes you mescalin
Smurftastic (2:12:27 PM): ps the movie will be rated R for male nudity, general profanity, multiple strip club scenes, and substance abuse
Tex (2:04:59 PM): the strip clubs in the movie will be called "The Penetration Station" and "The Hot Box"
Smurftastic (2:15:19 PM): can i drop out now and start writing?
Tex (2:05:14 PM): i already did
Smurftastic (2:16:48 PM): who should play you? or are we being damon-affleck about this?
Tex (2:07:02 PM): well, unless we are making a horror movie i probably shouldn't be the lead
Tex (2:07:06 PM): owen wilson
Tex (2:07:13 PM): because of the broken nose and he's from texas
Smurftastic (2:19:55 PM): i call reese witherspoon
Smurftastic (2:22:48 PM): also she's cute
Smurftastic (2:23:04 PM): hmmmmmmmmmm... who else could play me - if we are thinking divorce and disaster.... Britney?
Smurftastic (2:23:09 PM): but i don't like fried chicken that much
Tex (2:13:07 PM): i need a real bitch
Tex (2:13:12 PM): like the chick in saving silverman
Tex (2:13:29 PM): who would be a great bitch?
Smurftastic (2:25:45 PM): um. me.
Tex (2:15:36 PM): no way
Smurftastic (2:25:54 PM): plus it'd be fun to win an oscar
Smurftastic (2:26:02 PM): for both actress and screenplay
Smurftastic (2:26:34 PM): your wife will be....................
Smurftastic (2:27:11 PM): bridget moynahan
Smurftastic (2:27:16 PM): tainted goods w/ brady baby
Smurftastic (2:27:40 PM): so i can try and navigate the agreement so you still get brady's chiuld support money after you dump the bitch
Smurftastic (2:28:02 PM): which may lead to a scene in which i seduce brady (played by him) - to get him to agree to it
Smurftastic (2:30:24 PM): wife must be brunette so as to clash w/ my blonde ambition
Tex (2:20:45 PM): or my first wife was blonde, my second was a redhead, and now this new wife is a brunette
Tex (2:20:50 PM): there's a joke right there
Smurftastic (2:31:28 PM): I was your first wife... so there's drama w/ the divorce there
Smurftastic (2:31:51 PM): and i took so much from you that i sort of grew a conscience and want to prevent it from happening to you again
Smurftastic (2:32:11 PM): PLUS conflict of interest in that i don't want this new brunette bitch taking a percentage of my alimony
Smurftastic (2:32:15 PM): man this is getting complicated
Tex (2:22:21 PM): writing an oscar-winner is never easy
Tex (2:23:10 PM): but most importantly it can't have a happy ending
Tex (2:23:17 PM): the last scene must be me divorcing bridget
Smurftastic (2:33:37 PM): no not at all
Smurftastic (2:33:50 PM): NO the unhappy ending is that you paid so much in legal fees
Smurftastic (2:33:55 PM): but then stay happily married
Smurftastic (2:34:07 PM): you have a ball and chain forever
Smurftastic (2:34:12 PM): (insert ball joke here)
Tex (2:23:58 PM): we just wrapped up the entire male ages 13-200 demographic
Smurftastic (2:34:22 PM): and tom brady wraps up the chicks
Smurftastic (2:34:42 PM): literally
Smurftastic (2:34:43 PM): ZING
Tex (2:25:52 PM): bridget's character's name? monica scarpelli
Tex (2:30:35 PM): i bet this is how good will hunting was started
Tex (2:30:46 PM): well, this conversation + truckloads of douchebaggery
Tex (2:34:04 PM): this conversation will become a class at the USC film school some day
Smurftastic (2:45:01 PM): i should post it on my blog
Smurftastic (2:45:06 PM): so studios can start reading about it and raising money
Smurftastic (2:45:18 PM): FUCK YOU WRITERS STRIKE ... we have tex and smurftastic
Tex (2:35:07 PM): yeah, we need to start thinking about capital
Tex (2:42:29 PM): ok, so we have our primary cast
Tex (2:42:36 PM): what is the main obstacle for the movie in general
Smurftastic (2:56:10 PM): giving up your playboy lifestyle to settle down w/ a 3rd woman
Smurftastic (2:56:25 PM): or better yet, convincnig that 3rd woman to allow you to keep bitches on the side
Tex (2:46:24 PM): while simultaneously dealing with the emotional baggage from my past 2 failed marriages
Tex (2:46:47 PM): kind of like a greek tragedy
Tex (2:47:07 PM): i know i shouldn't get married, but i do anyway, and in the end i die
Tex (2:47:46 PM): your character is kind of like the muse, you give me good advice but i ignore it and i pay
Tex (2:48:56 PM): metaphorically die
Tex (2:49:01 PM): stay married in this case
Tex (2:49:45 PM): if we change it to where i've already been divorced three times then my exes could be the 3 witches from hamlet
Smurftastic (3:00:17 PM): bridget divorces you after catching you in bed w/ gisele
Smurftastic (3:00:30 PM): w/ a comical throwing hands up and saying "oh god not again"
Tex (2:50:35 PM): then one of those "wah wah wah" sound effects
Smurftastic (3:04:08 PM): clearly, lots of sound effects are needed in this movie
Tex (2:54:32 PM): and that effect what the camera zooms in on someone and the background falls back
Smurftastic (3:05:10 PM): in the bedroom, during gisele acts of indiscretion
Smurftastic (3:08:05 PM): what about artists/songs who should be on the soundtrack?
Smurftastic (3:08:17 PM): the dan band, of course
Tex (2:58:49 PM): i'd want some texas country in there
Tex (2:59:06 PM): and flogging molly for the obligatory 3rd bachelor party scene where i'm getting fucked up with all the guys
Smurftastic (3:09:26 PM): clearly
Tex (2:59:29 PM): and they keep making fun of me that my bachelor party is pretty much a yearly occasion
Smurftastic (3:12:01 PM): who is your best man played by?
Tex (3:02:01 PM): the guy from knocked up?
Smurftastic (3:12:25 PM): EXCELLENT
Smurftastic (3:12:54 PM): my very harried but head over heels in love with me assistant will be played by John Kraszinski
Smurftastic (3:13:06 PM): and we will wind up together in the end
Smurftastic (3:13:12 PM): having hooked up at your divorce party
Smurftastic (3:13:28 PM): but we will be so in love, that we won't need a divorce planner
Tex (3:03:18 PM): haha, from the death of my marriage springs the life of your marriage
Smurftastic (3:13:44 PM): so it's a happy ending for the supporting cast
Smurftastic (3:13:47 PM): but not for the star
Smurftastic (3:15:42 PM): i feel like you need to have humorous parents
Tex (3:05:37 PM): oh yeah, drunk as shit too
Tex (3:05:43 PM): perpetually shitfaced
Tex (3:06:59 PM): played by liam nieson and ...
Tex (3:07:04 PM): i think liam could do comedy
Tex (3:07:21 PM): who's a good old irish actress?
Smurftastic (3:19:19 PM): um the website i found says mary tyler moore is irish
Tex (3:10:42 PM): nope, denis leary is my father
Tex (3:11:28 PM): i can't pick my own movie mom, i trust you
Smurftastic (3:22:17 PM): i wish maureen o'hara was still alive
Smurftastic (3:22:19 PM): i love her
Smurftastic (3:22:44 PM): OH i figured out the reason why I was your first divorce
Tex (3:13:07 PM): my parents loved you more because you could booze up to their standards?
Smurftastic (3:23:26 PM): you found out i was scottish'
Tex (3:13:18 PM): same thing
Smurftastic (3:23:44 PM): haha - maureen ohara is still alive
Smurftastic (3:24:47 PM): grandma ohara
Smurftastic (3:24:51 PM): drunken senile grandma
Smurftastic (3:25:39 PM): you have no mom
Smurftastic (3:25:44 PM): she left when you were a baby
Smurftastic (3:25:50 PM): setting you up for relationship failure
Smurftastic (3:26:04 PM): she was a stripper
Tex (3:23:26 PM): i bet we could get powers whiskey to pay a lot of cash for product placement
Tex (3:23:36 PM): and marlboro
Smurftastic (3:33:58 PM): what about jamesons?
Smurftastic (3:34:09 PM): perhaps your bachelor party should be at the guinness brewery
Smurftastic (3:34:21 PM): to visit grandma, cause she lives there
Tex (3:24:14 PM): turn the top bar into a strip club
Tex (3:30:39 PM): start thinking about how we'll do the opening credits
Tex (3:30:54 PM): i'm thinking me narrating my previous 2 divorces
Smurftastic (3:41:30 PM): start w/ teh second one - and then as you talk about the first, camera zooms in on me at work
Smurftastic (3:41:48 PM): but your narration will be accompanied by black and white pictures detailing the event

Seriously, who WOULDN'T go see this movie?

Greatest Holiday Songs of All Time

Well, it's that time of year. So in honor of the season... we present to you the Greatest Holiday Songs of All Time... meticulously compiled during a pointless and boring Admin review session.



This is supposed to be a Top 10 Comparision by each of us... but DJ Vic points out: "I only have 6 because I don't like holiday music very much". SO 10 from Smurftastic (who is inappropriately obsessed with Christmas music), and 6 from DJ Vic. Here goes.



Smurftastic #10:
I'll be Home for Christmas - Kenny Chesney

Reasoning: adds a nice little island beat to an all-over good christmas song

DJ Vic Response - Country and Christmas are always a good mix



Smurftastic #9:

Messiah excerpt/Because it's Christmas - Barry Manilow

Reasoning: Oh yeah, it's a song combo... pretty cheesy, but heartwarming. And who doesn't at least have some familiarity with Handel's Messiah? Plus Manilow's Christmas album is decently great. And Manilow is Jewish. And a gay sex icon. Non discrimination is important this time of year.



Smurftastic #8:

Dick in a Box - Justin Timberlake and Andy Sandberg

Reasoning: supports all holidays. Including the CMAs, which I am a HUGE fan of, obviously

DJ Vic Response - I'd take Justin Timberlak's dick in a box for Christmas any year. Though I doubt my parents....I mean "Santa"....could afford that gift



Smurftastic #7:

O Holy Night - NSYNC

Reasoning: plays to my love of 5 part harmonies, NSYNC, A capella, and this song in general

DJ Vic Response - Wow. O Holy Night is my favorite X-mas song

Distraction discussion about boy bands: Animal could be mistaken for an NSYNC member given certain hat and clothing choices, particularly the pink argyle sweater w/ newsboy cap
but bald boys aren't allowed in boy bands - cause you can't spike/frost the tips of bald



DJVictorious # 6 (FINALLY!)

Merry Christmas Baby - Bruce Springsteen

Reasoning: Rockin' - and shows my new-found Jersey pride - insert fist pump



Smurftastic #6

The Chanukah Song - Adam Sandler

Reasoning: Because racism is bad, and we at somepeopleknit do not support bad things (except bad life choices we really like those because they provide mocking/judging material) - Unfortunately, I don't know many kwanzaa songs... or festivus songs... or other winter holiday related songs. Don't be mad.



DJ Victorious #5:

anything Mannheim Steamroller

Reasoning: They're VERY big in Pittsburgh- No seriously - they make me feel like it's the holidays - I think my brother owns every Mannheim Steamroller album ever recorded - AND he's seem them live

Smurftastic Response: i'm relegating this to the worst, it's like the enya of holiday music



Smurftastic #5:

Baby It's Cold Outside - Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel - Elf Soundtrack

Reasoning: Kind of a romantic song which promotes substance abuse. Bring it on. Also am pretty sure this song is about date rape. Oh well.
DJ Victorious response: My grandpa really likes Leon Redbone.



DJ Victorious #4:

Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy - Bing Crosby & David Bowie

Reasoning: Bowie is god

Smurftastic Response: that is a decent version, however, that song and all versions is #2 on my worst xmas songs of all time, but this is actually the only version i can stand because bowie sings OVER the stupid par rum ing



Smurftastic #4:

All I want for Christmas is You - Olivia Olson - Love Actually Soundtrack

Reasoning: Cause Mariah is bat shit CRAZY, but it's a great song

DJ Vic Response: Mimi isn't crazy....she's misguided

Smurftastic rebuttal: Wow. You just called her Mimi. Judging you.

DJVictorious #3:

Twelve Days of Christmas: John Denver & the Muppets

Reasoning: I listen to this album EVERY YEAR, IT'S AMAZING, The best part is when Miss Piggy warbles "5 Goooollldeen Riiiiiinggssss", Fantastic

Smurftastic response: wow BOLD, i've actually never heard that song but i do love john

Smurftastic #3:

Christmas Time is Here - Alvin and the Chipmunks

Reasoning: Because if you don't love this song, you are a terrible person. Plus I sing a great falsetto... also i am probably going to see the new Chipmunks movie - i judge myself, but i can't deny who I am

DJVictorious Response: John (he's the Chipmunk's "dad" right?) is such a pedophile

DJVictorious #2:

All I Want For Christmas is You: Mariah Carey

Reasoning: Might be the best song ever recorded, and the hipster kids LOVE it - and not just ironically

Smurftastic response: See my #4

Smurftastic #2:

Merry Christmas Happy Holidays - NSYNC

Reasoning: OK there are 2 NSYNC songs on here. I admit it. But you know what? Their Christmas album is AWESOME. Just fantastic. I don't even feel bad about my obsession. I have been known to listen to it in July. And nothing brings up a crappy finals mood like this song and its bouncy piano accompaniment

DJVictorious response: 2 NSYNC - quite a move... i'll take your word for it.

DJVictorious #1:

Christmas in Hollis - Run DMC

"You really need to see the video to fully appreciate."

Smurftastic response: Nice. Keep up the ethnic/music genre diversity

Smurftastic #1:

I Wanna Rock You Hard This Christmas - The Dan Band

Reasoning: Difficult to truly explain the awesomeness of this song. You have to hear it for yourself. Here are some selected lines to whet your appetite: "Fill your stocking with my candy cane of joy", "Deck the halls with your Christmas balls"

DJVictorious response: speechless - this is what the holidays are truly about, not this peace on earth bullshit

blnd44illini (3:09:13 PM): oh this song also features the line 'peace on earth'
