Song Of The Day 12/19/2013: The Magnetic Fields - "Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree"

Holiday Barrage 2013: Of course, about one-third of the Magnetic Fields' output sounds like some sort of holiday music if you omit the lyrics. All of it beats the Michael Bublé Christmas TV special which for some unknown reason is currently playing behind me in the living room. "Everything Is One Big Christmas Tree" is not technically about Christmas, but we'll take anything at this point.

According to Google Translator the German verse in this song is translated thusly:

No, maybe all is not a dream
Is all a nightmare? No, no!
Everything is a big fir tree
Rotating in Space History

As you were.
