"Forty years ago, Burl Ives, who lent his voice and a lot more of his image than you'd think to the Talking Snowman was a big star. Now nobody remembers hits like 'The Big Rock Candy Mountain' (a song that is actually about Hobos dying of malnutrition, exposure and alcoholism) or 'The Ugly Bug Ball' (which is actually about unattractive bugs gathering to dance) or his Oscar winning turn as 'Big Daddy' in 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'. All anyone remembers about Burl Ives is that he is the talking snowman and they don't even know he was really Burl Ives. I imagine this makes the ghost of Burl Ives just about as mad as fuck. "
