Five minutes of that is like eating nothing but jars of strawberry jam for a week.

And yes, Brenda Lee was 13 when she recorded Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. 1957, but it didn't chart until a year or so later.

I suggest some intellectual protein to recover from your underpants' Christmas Carol Holiday Excursion. The bounce-bounce of the car, the tunes blaring ... setting for a Stephen King novel. You've been brainwashed.

I must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. I am completely irreverant and sarcastic.
