It’s a Long Way Home on This Holy Night for, uh, the Scatman

Songs That Remind Me of Certain People:

Long Way Home by Tom Waits

You know I love you baby

More than the whole wide world.

You are my woman

You know you are my pearl.

Let’s go out past the party lights

Where we can finally be alone.

Come with me and we can take the long way home.

Come with me, together we can take the long way home.

Come with me, together we can take the long way home.

Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop) by Scatman

Only one person could have the courage (and, ahem, unique taste) to like this song from 1994 when he was young, be ridiculed mercilessly, and still insist he likes it now that he’s older. He will always remind me that no matter what agreements and similarities you have with someone, that someone is still always a very different person.

O Holy Night by various artists

Seriously. Christmas songs year round. Christmas CDs in the car in March, May, July? I guess if you keep the kindness and generosity of the season with you, too, then you can be forgiven this faux pas.
