Songfacts®:

  • The "snowman" is a tacky plastic light-up snowman that a friend gave Logan as a gag gift. Logan named the plastic snowman "Vanilla" and brought him on stage at every performance he did for the rest of his regrettably short life. Whitehurst died of cancer in 2006. >>>

  • When Whitehurst says, "That's one to grow on" at the end of the song, it's a nod to the interstitials that ran between cartoons on NBC in the '80s. Featuring stars of the network like Michael J. Fox and Betty White, they would offer valuable advice to kids, like "don't play with matches" or "let everyone play."
