So to tell you the truth, I've got some red necks in my family and this totally reminds me of them.

Little sister brought her new boyfriend He was a Mexican We didn't know what to think of him Til he sang Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad

=P

In the video, they have the Mexican guy in front of the fridge with some magnet letters behind him that say M-E-X-I-C-A-N. It looks like a mug shot.

Southern states have a reputation for being racist. To me the beauty of this verse is what the words and video imply. "A Mexican? She's going out with a MEXICAN???" And then they hear him sing.... and he is immediately and fully accepted into the family. Fantastic storytelling.
