With Jesus being a baby boy (I swear that boys are all such light sleepers), I keep picturing Mary's mental reaction when the drummer boy asks if he can play for them.

That's what ruins the song for me, too. One of my very earliest memories is of having a migraine, and from the first time I heard the song, I though, "poor baby Jesus is going to have migraines."
The one with hearing reindeer hooves on the roof did the same thing to me.
