Also, it's very up-tempo, which makes it difficult to enjoy the harmonies and wordplay of the song, but also provides much less time to consider the implications of the line "Say, what's in this drink?"
"Spin Me A Christmas" - I am quite proud to say that I had never even heard of this song before reading this article. But now that I have, ...
