I'm Puzzled By This Xmas Song

TnyjMuzic	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 9:55 PM The words are " on the first day of christmas/my true love gave to me/etc,etc" Ok and it goes all the way up to 12 day of christmas and so on and so forth right? Well isn,t Christmas ONE DAY. So how can it be " on the 12th day of christmas my true love gave to me"???
evansorchid	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 10:07 PM It's kinda an historical religious thing. Most folks don't understand it. It's the 12 days between Christmas day (Dec 25) and Epiphany (Jan 6) This is a pretty good link that explains it... http://www.cresourcei.org/cy12days.html
Opossum	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 10:51 PM Dennis the Menace once asked the same question. They did a comic book special on that.
Israfel	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 11:27 PM It's the second most annoying song in the world. The first is "It's A Small World After All" which, if you've ever been to Disneyland or Disneyworld, you will know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Opossum	Date: December 4, 2007 @ 11:44 PM "IT'S a SMALL world after all... IT'S a SMALL world after all... IT'S a SMALL world after all... It's a small small world..." One more time... "It's a small world after all...", etc. And if you're having trouble remembering the lyrics, the key is... rehearse rehearse rehearse... Rehearsal is the key. It's the key after all.
evansorchid	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 9:04 AM Hmmm. I don't know Izzy. I must be one of the few folks who went through the 'It's a small world ride' and truly expected to be annoyed the entire time, but in actuallity I was quite impressed with it. The music was played at just the right volume. It wasn't grating or irritating. As the boat travelled from country to country I found the morphing of the styles of music at is sequed from say Japan to Hawaii to be quite ingenious. I know that this song gets a lot of grief and it's not exactly a happening melody in my book, but the 'small world ride' down in Florida was quite a surprise for me anyway. so there....
TnyjMuzic	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 7:11 PM evansorchid thanx for clearing that up. The link you added even says that the song is widely misunderstood. I thought it was just me. As far as It's a Small world. I have also been on that ride in Walt Disney Florida and so have some of you. Small World
TnyjMuzic	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 7:14 PM Oh Yea.. Some facts about its a small world. Since the planet Jupiter is larger then that of earth. The it's a small world theory would be true.
Opossum	Date: December 5, 2007 @ 11:44 PM Yeah, but Jupiter is so jovial so it's a world of laughter... But still, there is just one moon and one golden sun...
DaveWL	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 8:48 AM Pluto is a planet and also the name of Mickey m ouse’s dog – which brings me to the question – what animal is Goofy supposed to be?
Opossum	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 9:04 AM Goofy is a dog - but a "people-dog". Yeah, if you read a lot of the old Disney comics as I have, you will find a strange world. You got "people-ducks" like Donald and Daisy (and Uncle Scrooge - who is a lot more "PEOPLE-duck" than the others), and "real" flying, quacking ducks that are actually hunted, you got barking "real" dogs, and "people-dogs", and of course, you got "people-cows" and "people-horses" along with "real" horses and cows. That's just the way Disney is.
Opossum	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 10:06 AM From DISNEY.COM: "Goofy is a dog! Good-natured but not that bright, this cartoon character made his first appearance, somewhat disguised, as a member of the audience in "Mickey's Revue" (1932). What distinguished the character from those sitting around him was not so much his appearance but his raucous laugh. That laugh made such an impression on Walt Disney and his staff that the character soon began to be featured in other cartoons. Before long, Goofy was part of the gang that included Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Clarabelle Cow, and Horace Horsecollar. In the newspaper comic strips, this new character was first given the name Dippy Dawg. A 1938 book indicated the first change to Dippy's name, "The Story of Dippy the Goof," and by 1939 the final change was made to Goofy with the release of the cartoon "Goofy and Wilbur." Goofy was created as a human character, as opposed to Pluto, who was a pet, so he walked upright and had a speaking voice." http://home.disney.go.com/guestservices/faqs#history_archives15
DaveWL	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 10:57 AM Yes of course Goofy is a people dog rather than a dog dog, thanks for clearing that up
Opossum	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 11:03 AM Don't forget that Mickey is a people m ouse, otherwise how could he be so much bigger than Pluto the dog dog.
Israfel	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 11:29 AM I'm sorry Spike but you are wrong. You cannot have liked Its A Small World. You may think you did, but you did not. You need a rethinks. It was torture. Pure, tiny big headed animatronic kiddy torture. They have brainwashed you. I'm here to help.
Opossum	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 11:38 AM "Don't listen! It's a Conspiracy!"
evansorchid	Date: December 6, 2007 @ 6:58 PM Hmmmm....I didn't think I was that susceptible to brainwashing, but you might be right Izzy. I wouldn't put it past Disney to be indoctrinating everyone who ventures onto the boat of the Small World Ride so that when the apocalypse is upon us tens of millions will have already have sold their souls to Dr. Mickey. I think I might need an exorist. =
zedsalt	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 11:00 AM Not susceptible to brainwashing? That's what they WANT you to think! I'm just kidding. If there even is a "they", I wouldn't know who they are.
Intergalacti...	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 2:03 PM damnit you got its a small world stuck in my head you bastard
GeneHilbert	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 2:07 PM LOL.....
TnyjMuzic	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 8:18 PM Opossum who are those two characters you posted? Evansorchard where did you get that mickey m ouse avatar thingy? Also does anyone know anything about DMusic Indie Mix Party CD? Does anyone know how offen these CD are released?
ChillinBuzz	Date: December 7, 2007 @ 9:00 PM Goofy was the world's first genetic animal/human experiment... Now you know what really happened to Walt.
