Interpretations:Santa's Beard

From This Might Be A Wiki

Great song. Obvious meaning, though; very literal. The narrorater's wife (girlfriend?) has a crush on the singer's friend. His friend goes to their house every year on Christmas as a fake Santa. And he caught them kissing, hence she was wearing "Santa's beard."

This song was quite possibly inspired by the classic "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus" by Jimmy Boyd.

The song also represents the hell that is society and how it can crush the singer due to the many horrible things happening to him. He has found despair, and discovers that he has no hope in society anymore.

TMBW reports that the song has been added to an iTunes children's playlist "even with the underlying meaning". Underlying meaning, my wiki! The song is blatantly about, um, fooling around. I guess kids are more sophisticated than they were in my day, pant, wheeze. But then, it's only a mutation of "Mama's Twistin' With Santa", by Mark Anthony and the Elfs. --M.

That was me. Eh. I was just saying that it was the Funny But Sad stuff. Is a kid gonna pick up that his girlfriend is cheating on him with Santa? No, they're gonna get a story about a girl on Santa's lap wearing a beard. Just sayin'. -Ecks

At first of course i thought of somebody's girlfriend or wife cheating on them with "santa", but then i thought that maybe it was about a Dad's daughter loving santa more then him. I mean, come on, what child doesn't love santa?
