Satire that can be taken literally - is manifesting something that you may not have intended then. Even if it was a department store Santa - mIstle toe and Christmas is a time for love - a kiss on the cheek under the mistletoe is still innocent and joyful. Your post was not what I needed to see on Christmas Eve. Current media has been extremely abusive to women and wives while males can mass murder and have it written off as a bad day by the media.

Merry Christmas Mickey Z. To me that did not suggest satire. Satire, definition: "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues:

"the crude satire seems to be directed at the fashionable protest singers of the time""

What is your 'satire' supposed to be exposing or criticizing? Old songs shouldn't have potentially scandelous implications? - it was old, I don't think it was scandalous at the time. Life has become more prudish in many ways, while also very exploitative of women, or some women. Moving on. We all have our own ideas and backgrounds.
