SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Giving Frosty The Cold Shoulder -- The snowman is sexist, out of date and should make way for snow-women, an academic claimed yesterday. Dr. Tricia Cusack, of Birmingham University, carried out a five-year study into the "cultural meanings" of snowmen. She believes that they are old-fashioned symbols of gender discrimination. She has called for snow-women to appear on Christmas cards and wrapping paper.  Writing in the cultural history periodical New Formations, Dr. Cusack described snowmen as the "rotund relics of Bacchanalia". They were gluttonous and indulgent, and symbolised the grotesque with their portly appearance and carrot noses.  However, she added: "I don't want to ban snowmen or anything, let's just be a bit more imaginative - why not have a snow-woman? We need to be alert to which particular images have got currency. Why is it always male, and why is it so popular at Christmas? At least the snowman has lost his pipe as society is less geared towards promoting smoking."


It's Wintertime, It's Christmastime by Clifton53

Its wintertime its Christmas time, its time to deck the halls,
And now they tell me they must go, yes, its Frosty's balls,
Oh how can I bear it, 'tis makin' my blood boil,
To turn me 'ol pal Frosty, into a blinkin' goil.

The corncob pipe, the button nose, acceptable you see,
But make your snowman feminine, make him squat to pee
I wonder how the snowman feels, it surely must be strange
To feel the parts a'comin off, during his sex change.

So now we must change everything, the song, and pictures too
Can someone come and help me, I haven't got a clue,
Perhaps while we are at it, we'll work on other things
I would like to start it out, by changing the three Kings!
