Yucky Christmas songs...

OK, I'd gone along quite nicely this Christmas season without hearing the one song that makes me start gnashing my teeth the second I catch a hint of it - that ferschlugginah Grammaw got runned ober by a raindear by Elmow and Pesty makes my flesh crawl - blecccch!!!!! Today marked the end of my string - I heard a bit of it and lemme tell ya it was one little bit TOO MUCH! Any particular Christmas tunes you can't stand hearing?

 

Mike,

This one tops my "yucky" list. I cannot listen to it...

I have no problem with "Grandma Got Run Over..." but one song I never cared for is "Nuttin' For Christmas".

 

The novelty stuff doesn't irritate me nearly as much as "Grown-Up Christmas List" does. (Sorry if anyone here's a fan.)

 

Christmas Shoes. I've never heard anything so despicable as this song. Holy **** it's awful!

Shania Twain also has a song about children on crack shooting each other in the back (yes, it rhymes so they put it in a song). Horrible ****!

 

I agree with that stupid Elmo and Patsy song. I can't for the life of me imagine why the damn thing is so popular every year.

Just today I heard this spoken word variation on "Twas the Night Before Christmas" about Santa visiting a US soldier. The sentiments are fine but it was incredibly insipid.

"God Bless The Child"! That line is what actually made me like the song, it's just so random.

 

I think the best version of "God Bless The Child" by Shania is the very short acapella version on "The Woman In Me."

 

That Paul McCartney ditty, "Wonderful Christmastime," is so damn annoying I'm afraid I'll go postal every time I hear it in the department store line.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas Time . . . Ding dong ding dong . . . ARRRGH! SHUT THE ****ING SOUND OFF! HOW LONG DID HE WORK ON THIS? FIFTEEN ****ING MINUTES? WHERE'S THE GUN COUNTER? I'M SHOOTING THE SPEAKERS OUT!

 

BTW, Christmas Shoes for those who haven't heard it was recorded by Contemporary Christian band Newsong.

 

The Singing Dogs - Jingle Bells
I agree with Ron The McCartney track is next on the "hit list". It is nauseating

On the plus side Bob Rivers "Twelve Pains Of Christmas" and "Message From The King" are refreshing changes!

 

"Grandma" will never show up on a Jimbo Christmas comp.

And I've quite had enough of dogs, cats, frogs, barnyard animals, etc. singing Christmas carols.

 

I can't stand Sugar Ray's very bad cover version of "Little Saint Nick" which the local radio station now uses instead of the classic Beach Boys version.

 

But what about the Muppets, Jimbo?

 

Mannheim Steamtable.

 

The moon is right! The spirit's up! We're here tonight, and that's enough!

Might've been five minutes, actually.

 

Mix that and a Kenny G Christmas CD and you're spending Christmas in hell.

 

Kenny G has a Christmas Album? Is Michael Bolton on it?

 

While I like Jose Feliciano as a rule and certainly respect his talent, I really dislike "Felice Navidad." Of all of what could be considered A-list secular Christmas songs, this one is definitely in last place for me.

 

What's with Gloria Estefan this year? Seems every third Christmas song is one of her renderings. Has she ever hit a proper note in her life?

 

I envy you if you haven't been subjected to it yet. Run kiddies, run away and tell an adult where the bad song molested you.

It's overly sentimental babble. It's so far over the top I can't even tell what key it's in through all the pure evil. Why would they want to tell people a sad story at Christmas time? Why do that to someone? Bleck!! They should be strung up by their go-betweens.

 

Well what did you expect, Kenny's "Driedel Driedel Driedel" Hanukkah album?

 

Agree. Want to shoot the radio every time it comes on. I can't get to the dial fast enough to turn that god-awful piece of drivel off!

 

"Grandma Got Run Over..." is definitely the worst of the "cute" ones. I don't see how anybody is amused at the first listen and it's worse with every play. They never play the all-time funniest Xmas song by Ray Stevens, "Santa Claus Is Watching Over You".

 

I couldn't agree with you more!!! When that song came out three years ago it was huge!!! Thankfully it has gone the way of many holiday records that hit it big and slide back into obscurity. That Elmo & Patsy record runs a close second for worst Christmas record ever IMO. I've noticed this year in general that novelty holiday records have fallen out of favor in place of the more traditional and classic songs. Sign of the times I guess.
