Ah, jp, you are a MUSIC person. There are word people and music people. my husband knows the words to everything. I can do things like sing along with the oboes, but never know the words to anything..
which is why this whole damn afternoon, I've been singing:
Jingle Bell-Jingle Bell-Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle Bell dum de Jingle Bell dum.
Dumm dedum dummdum and dumm dedum dum.
In the dumm dumm dum.
Giddyup Giddyup Giddyup Dum
Dumm de dumm dumm de DUMMMMM
Dum Dum De dumdum, dum de DUm.
That's the Jingle Bell Rock!

I'm losing my mind.

jp, I, too, love not understanding a word that is being said to me or around me. People seem so much more interesting when you are unsure of what they are saying. One can attribute such profound utterances to them! Especially in Greece, where you hear snippets of words like "cosmos" "macro" "anthropus" etc. etc. All those men arguing furiously at their tables in the outdoor cafes all day. I imagined them talking about Pythagoras or Praxiteles...when they were probably talking about sports or indigestion remedies.

Oh, and I like "The Carol of the Bells" best.
