and speaking of blasphemy …

It’s a basic Truth: Do not mess with a classic. Do not tinker with sweet perfection.

Christina Aguilera’s cover of Lady Marmalade? Wrong. Evil. Bad.
Gilligan’s Island reunion shows without Tina Louise? Wrong. Evil. Bad.
New Coke? Ok, that was just stupid.

But clearly, the lesson should have been learned. The same sort of mistake should never have been made again.

So then, why has the jingle for the Clapper changed this year? Sure, the words are the same, but the tune? Different! What were they thinking?! For me, one of the few and purest joys left in the holiday season was singing (and clapping) along with the Clapper ads.

Ah well, I suppose I’ll just have to take some solace in the comforting sameness of “Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia, Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Pet.…”
