I just learned the origin of Fa La La La La in Deck the Halls. The song began as a tavern song with some off-color words and phrases. When it was performed for the king, singers had to delete those parts, so they substituted Fa La La La La. Wasn't that a dainty song to sing before the king!
(Like the king didn't know those words already.)

That's hysterical. I'll never sing that song quite the same way again. :o)
