I have a contention with this song

Mmm-mmm-mmmmm. I can't believe this! Inconceivable! Why be good at all? Santa isn't comin' where I am! (Or anywhere else...

) I never liked all of these songs about Santa and Rudolf and such.

Well, as we all know, Frosty was made of snow. Snow is frozen water. Water reflects and refracts light. Light is a form of radiant energy. Now if we suppose that Frosty's own thermal radiation levels of his personal energy could and would interact with the thermal radiation energy of the stop sign and lamppost (despite his ignorance of such), it is entirely possible that he was internally triangulating his location and "reading" it from his subconscious. Thus he didn't really need a GPS as his own entitiy was in fact a GPS.

But how did he know that he would need the stop sign and lamppost to triangulate the coordinates to the station? Which stop signs and lampposts would be the correct ones? Nope, Frosty is either an imbecile or a total innocent. Had they had him ask for directions, he could have kept the "innocence" title. As it is, he comes off as an imbecile. Good concept of "animation of inert matter intertwined with mortality" tale, shot to heck because of sloppy writing.

I think he can triangulate off anything metal. It's like radar. It just needs something to ping off of.

Ah.. exactly! Triangulate off anything... he would have to know what he was doing to get to the spot he wanted and not just any spot.

I don't know. I often don't know what I am doing and I get to all sorts of spots that I want.

I also don't really know how electricity really works, nor do I know how my computer works. And yet, both seem to work... they do say there was some magic in his hat that day. That pretty much sums up how I think electricity and computers work too. Magic.

LOL the song is all about parents threatening their kids to be good...

On the basis that "Santa Claus is coming to town"...

Finally! The voice of reason. This I understand. I feel better now.
