Day Eight:
The Mistletoe Kiss Polka - Margaret Whiting
Today's song is sung by a performer whose own love story melts my heart - the lovely, ever-classy Margaret Whiting.
You see, when Margaret Whiting was 70 years-old, she married the love of her life - 48 year-old former gay porn star Jack Wrangler. They made quite the couple. Together as a couple throughout the 1970's and 80's, they made it official in 1994. One would like to believe that during the holidays they spent plenty of time doing The Mistletoe Kiss Polka!
