I love it--but it's a definite earworm . . . . :crazy:

1. Me!

Gayla Peevey was from Oklahoma City. I heard this a lot growing up there.

2. I don't ever remember hearing it when I was a kid, and I've

lived here all my life. It sure sticks with you, though--kinda like the http://www.bcclark.com/Default.aspx?p=11009">BC Clark Christmas jingle.

Oh no--ANOTHER EARWORM . . . .

I may never get to sleep tonight!

7. Really? I used to hear it on KOMA & WKY.

OH NO! The BC Clark earworm!!!!!!!!! :P

9. Those were my favorite radio stations as a kid, but I just

don't remember this song--it's weird.

5. Sorry . . . .

I'm feeling a little silly tonight . . . . :silly:

4. I remember hearing it in the early 50's when I was just a wee lad

It was almost as popular at the time as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." I just noticed it was sung by a girl! I always assumed the singer was a boy, probably because I was. :D

8. That song makes me smile whenever I hear it.

This morning is the first time this holiday season that I've heard it. Thank you. I gave me a smile.

10. You're welcome--we all need a smile every now and then.

Merry Christmas!
