Lyrics:

Some people say I look like my dad

What? Are you serious?

Ah, ohh, hey, hey

Ah, ohh

Ah, ohh

I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree

Mummy always wants you to come for tea

Don't be shy, straighten up your tie

Get down from your tree house, sittin' in the sky

I want to know just what to do

Is it very big, is there room for two?

I got a house with windows and doors

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey

Let the fun begin, hey

I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey

I'll huff, I'll puff

I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"

Do you play with the girls, play with the boys?

Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys?

We can talk, we can sing

I'll be the queen and you'll be the king

Hey boy, in your tree

Thrown down your ladder, make a room for me

I got a house with windows and doors

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey

Let the fun begin, hey

I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey

I'll huff, I'll puff

I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away

Huh, huh

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me, "C'est la vie"

Huh, huh, huh, huh

Na na na hey

Na na na ho

Na na na hey

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me, won't you say "C'est la vie"

Say you will, say you won't

Say you'll do what I don't

Say you're true, say to me (huh, huh, huh), "C'est la vie"

YES.

ALL OF THIS.

THIS is why this film still hits so hard after all these years.

It’s not some sugary BS about “you can think yourself out of suicidal depression by just learning to appreciate what you’ve got”.

It’s about the fact that people who work really fucking hard for their communities experience active, targeted, criminal pushback from exploiters.

About the fact that caring, in all its manifestations, is incredibly physically and mentally taxing and is often done by disabled people - YES, George Bailey is a disabled protagonist. His impairment prevents him from military service and actively causes him chronic pain that, as a person who lives with it, *will* affect his energy levels and fatigue constantly.

Notably, IAWL actually has a bunch of disabled characters. Not only is George disabled, but I’d put money on his uncle who loses the money being ADHD and very possibly having other learning disabilities and the film *actively* flagging that fact to the audience, even if it doesn’t necessarily know what ADHD is.

Which casts a whole new light on its principal villain being disabled. Instead of Old Man Potter being a flat caricature of “disability = evil”, what he *actually* is is a fantastic example of the fact that marginalisation in one axis does not prevent someone being an active oppressor - and wealth and class privilege, in particular, tend to mean a person actively acting to oppress other people who share their marginalisation in order to privilege the interests of their own class as a whole. Sometimes even damaging their own individual interests to do so.

It’s also super interesting that the *material* miracle in the film is not the appearance of an angel to show George what life would have been like if he had never existed, but the *community solidarity* that saves him from jail and his family from penury. The supernatural intervention can change his *mindset*, and that is *incredibly* important, given it *literally* stops him killing himself, but the *material* intervention is mutual aid from his own community that he has given so much to.

Which is incredibly radical as a message. It’s not saying “faith is worthless”; it’s saying “faith can be an incredibly important factor in creating resilience in moments of despair, but we can’t, and *need not*, wait for a supernatural miracle to save us; we have the capacity to save ourselves and each other in our hands right now”.

// A loving reminder that James loves trashy pop music. This man does every workout to a 'girlypop' playlist full of stuff like Girls Aloud, Lady Gaga and Olivia Rodrigo. //

Ranked the 2053 songs. I feel like the overall quality is still good and instead my beef is probably with how similar the songs are. Like I listen to the Asterline songs from the first album but not from the second one (despite putting most of them in the same tier) because they more or less sound the same. But I was positively surprised by Startrail taking a break from Stella Mine's "we have SH at home" shtick and being a great song too.
