I like Jingle Bells.  I know nearly all the words.  I just can't figure out that bit that sounds like "bells on pop pop tails ring".  I don't know what that means but I sing it anyway. 

What I mean is:  You could just turn the music off and listen to your brand new Xmas IPod instead.

Dumbasses.

"Bells on Bob-Tail ring"

Explanation complements of Wikipedia:
"Although commonly thought to refer to horses with bobbed tails, the lyric "Bells on Bob-tail" (singular) probably simply means the name of the horse pulling the sleigh."

"Life is no cabaret... we're inviting you anyway." ~Amanda Palmer
"Tree, awesome, numa numa, love triangle, internal combustion engine, mountain, walk, whiskey, peace, pascagoula" ~Lantyssa

I learned it as "Bells on bobbed tails ring" referring to the sleigh horses.

Don't want to drown out the otherwise excellent sound with music like I did in WoW. And it's a good job of working it in with the EQ2 theme. It's just oooold after doing so many Qeynos quests the first few days.

And I'll continue to believe it's "bells on pop pop tails ring" because my father, Pop Pop, told me that's what it was.  I may not understand it, but I believe it.

Anyway... the POINT is, turn the fucking music off!  Crank up Saliva or Bay City Rollers or whatever sad shit you listen to.  Who the hell listens to video game music anyway and who the hell names their horse Bob?

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.
