 Well gollee Jon, I'm most surprised!  That's the purest charm of little
 Virginia!  I had the same reaction, until I started to really listen, and
 heard the beatiful line "your tongue like a worm from your head to my
 brain" (or something similar), and really started to listen.  She has
 the most evil, spiteful little lyrics, saying all these vile and nasty
 things about people, sung in a little-girl voice with "Christmas music"
 (as I've come to describe it) tinkling merrily in the background.  I 
 found myself drawn to the subservise nature of her word after that (although
 I have to admit that I can only take it for just so long nonetheless).
