Now that Christmas is over, I want you to try something. Take a song that mentions Santa Claus by name and replace Santa with "The Boogeyman." Let's try some on for size:
"He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness' sake." ("Santa Claus is Coming to Town")
Hmm . . . I didn't replace anything on that one. Let's try again.
"Jump in bed and say your prayers 'cause [the Boogeyman] comes tonight." ("Here Comes Santa Claus Right Down Santa Claus Lane")
There we go! In either case, the imagery is slightly disquieting, but it's okay because Santy Claus is good. Sure . . .
