Hahaha! Too funny @MWolf !
I also have a story about the song Feliz Navidad.
It was 1978. Me, my sister and two friends, both of whom spoke Spanish, were in the back of a pick up, collecting used newspapers. We belonged to a girls club and we collected old newspapers to raise money for our activities and charitable work.
It was December in So Cal, so it wasn’t too cold. One of my friends started singing Feliz Navidad as we drove all over town, slipping and sliding unsecured on heaps of newspapers. Dangerous times in the 70’s! We were having a jolly time, singing as loudly as we could. Suddenly, the pick up truck came to an abrupt stop. My furious dad, who had been driving, stormed out to us in the back of the truck and shouted “Stop singing police knock it off!”
We stared at him in confusion for a few seconds before my friend explained that we were singing the song Feliz Navidad. Obviously, my dad had never heard it at that point. That was the hardest I ever had to try not to laugh.
It’s one of my favorite Christmas songs.
