Still Using Zebras

This blog is a bit over 2 years old, and has nearly 400 posts. Nearly all of them have been long since forgotten. However, this post from a year ago today is easily the most visited post this month. Suzanne's response on her blog seems to be equally hot. The posts are about an old Christmas song called "Santa's Using Zebras Now". And it's virtually unknown and nearly un-googlable. Googling "Santa's Using Zebras Now" gives Suzanne's blog as the first hit and mine as the 3rd. The second reference is to someone posting the lyrics which they copied off of Suzanne's comment on my cousins blog (6th google hit on the search). (I know this, because they reference the song as an "annual Blockburger favorite," a line from my her comment, but can't figure out what a 'Blockburger' is. Apparently no one has heard of those, either.)

The last two days alone have had six visitors to my blog looking for the song. They come from Greensboro, Memphis, Salt Lake, Schaumburg Ill, Lincoln, Ancorage and Washingtong. (As I was typing that sentence I just got another visitor from Riverside.)

So, if you're looking for the song, you're not alone. And you're also not alone in not being able to find a copy. Some people have offered some help on Suzanne's blog. (Maybe we all need to convince Suzanne to get over to our parents house and track the music down. It might be the world's last remaining copy!)
