Frank Sinatra's comedy version of "Deck The Halls" from his never released 1953 Christmas comedy album. According to some music historians, Frank wrote this song version about the open ended game of "nut tag" between him and Dean Martin.

Sack tapping is a slang term for a game where a participant attacks, by slapping, tapping, punching, kicking, elbowing, twisting, or backhanding a victim's testicles. The term derived from 'sack', slang that refers to the scrotum, and the activity is a form of groin attack. It is also called "nut tag", "bag tag", "sack whack", "bell flicking" and "roshambo". Starting in 1960 shortly after the singing group "The Rat Pack" was formed, Frank and Dean started a game of nut tag that would last until 1995 when Dean passed away at the age of 78, which finally ended the game.

Some speculate that Dean suffered from "nutcracker syndrome" (NCS) results most commonly from the compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. The name derives from the fact that, in the sagittal plane and/or transverse plane, the SMA and AA (with some imagination) appear to be a nutcracker crushing a nut (the renal vein). There is a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and diagnostic criteria are not well defined, which frequently results in delayed or incorrect diagnosis. The first clinical report of Nutcracker phenomenon appeared in 1950. Dean's large donations to help fund NCS research fueled further speculation into the possibility that Dean suffered from NCS, most likely caused by his and Frank's 35 year long game of nut tag.
