“You mean you forgot cranberries, too?” I’ve been repeating this question for a few days now. It comes from The Waitresses song called “Christmas Wrapping.” The song is a whole story about a missed connection x 3, but then the story comes to a very happy ending when she dashes out to the store to find those cranberries she forgot earlier in the day.
All About That Bass. I found comments about the killer Christmas bassline and I’ll admit, I hadn’t noticed it before. Busy fingers by an iconic bass player, Tracy Wormworth. Wow. I agree with other comments about the lyrics being fresh even 41 years later. Yeah, that’s right the song came out in 1981! I can’t really think of any other song I want to queue up the next time I sing karaoke. The last one I performed was Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and I must say it was a big hit! Meaning, I didn’t totally embarrass myself.
This song is right up there with so many great Christmas songs. However you’re celebrating today, I hope you have a great time with family, or friends, or solo if you’re like the singer of the song and need some time by yourself…
Just don’t forget the cranberries.
