The false choices off ered by spectacular abundance-choices based on the juxtaposition of competing yet mutually reinforcing spectacles and of distinct yet interconnected roles (signified and embodied primarily by objects)develop into struggles between illusory qualities designed to generate fervent allegiance to quantitative trivialities. Fallacious archaic oppositions are revived-regionalisms and racisms which serve to endow mundane rankings in the hierarchies of consumption with a magical ontological superiority-and subplayful enthusiasms are aroused by an endless succession of farcical competitions, from sports to elections. Wherever abundant consumption is established, one particular spectacular opposition is always in the forefront of illusory roles: the antagonism between youth and adults. But real adults-people who are masters of their own lives-are in fact nowhere to be found. And a youthful transformation of what exists is in no way characteristic of those who are now young; it is present solely in the economic system, in the dynamism ofcapitalism. It is things that rule and that are young, vying with each other and constantly replacing each other.

In 1957, when Frank Sinatra approached Martin to record the song, he asked him to revise the lyrics to promote a more uplifting theme; he particularly criticised the lyric "until then we'll have to muddle through somehow," commenting "the name of my album is A Jolly Christmas. Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?" Martin's revised lyric was "hang a shining star upon the highest bough." Martin made several other alterations, changing from the future tense to the present, so that the song's focus is a celebration of present happiness rather than anticipation of a better future.(However, Sinatra had recorded the original song's lyrics in 1948.) On The Judy Garland Show Christmas Special, Garland sang the song to her children Joey and Lorna Luft with Sinatra's revised lyrics.
