Yeah, I'm with ya there. There are some subjects that just aren't appropriate. Anna Nicole was a model citizen. Making fun of her would be disrespectful and rude......wow, I can't keep this up even if it is April Fools Day.

Exactly. ANS did nothing to deserve to become the subject of satiric parody.

Wasn't this single released with a different version of Christmas at Ground Zero? I just bought it and there's just Headline News, which is pretty disappointing since I already have that song on Permanent Record.

Yes, an alternate mix that has yet to turn up elsewhere. The differences between this new mix and the normal version are ever so slight, probably most notably with the opening bells and "clomping" tweaked a bit.

Also the air raid siren at the end goes on for way longer.

I'm sure that if Al rewrites the verse to be about recent news events, he'll stay away from the biggest thing in the news right now.

Well seeing as the song isn't really about the actual biggest headlines and instead focused on the more scandalous and trivial stories, it seems unlikely that Al would make fun of a national tragedy.

If Al did change the verse from being about Britney, he wouldn't make it about the VT shooting.

But he might do a verse on either Don Imus or Alec Baldwin. Personally, I'd love for him to slam Al Sharpton for being such a hypocritical jack@ss.

What about Rev. Jesse Jackson??

Does anyone wish to post the new new lyrics? The one about SPOILER Paris Hilton getting out of jail.
