Der Bingle: “White Christmas,” Original Version (Bing Crosby)

Re-posted by Nicholas Stix



White Christmas
Words and Music by Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.

[Bridge]

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
 

Thanks to Christmas Carols/UK.

N.S.: During The War, Bing Crosby was the world’s most popular singer. Crosby was dubbed “der Bingle,” as a way of mocking Hitler, who was called “der Führer” (the leader) in Germany.

  1. How could things change so much,from the way that life was like in THIS story,to the one that follows,below?Crosby's contemporary--Kate Smith was banned,statues are targets for removal and whites just watch.
    We are not organized to put a stop to this garbage.Maybe it's too late.
    I was looking up demographic breakdowns of various cities.In a couple decades some of the following cities have gone from majority white to:
    Atlanta 54% black 34% white
    Baltimore 62% black 30% white
    Cincinnati(1940)88% white
    (2019)50% white
    45% black
    Detroit 79% black 17% white (poor bastards)
    Philadelphia 44% black 35% white
    St.Louis 47% black 45% white
    NYC and Chicago still have white percentages in the 40-45% range,but the leap past whitey in the big metro areas has destroyed those cities.
    Blackie always looks for new places to ruin--therefore,in Michigan,Flint,Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo have--or will--be turned into crap.You read about suburbs of Chicago which used to be white--and are now gangfilled cesspools.
    What's going to change it?A lot of prison time is all I can think of.
