What's the most annoying Christmas song?

Recommended Posts

My absolute least favorite is 'Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time' by Paul McCartney. That song absolutely drives me up the wall. I think what irritates me the most is the fact that IMO one of the best song writers/singers of our time would actually produce such a piece of shit.>:(



DING DING DING - we have a winner. I HATE this song.

You mean much like Bruce Springstean did?



You know, I was never a Springsteen fan. I know he is hugely popular and very talented, but I just never liked his voice.

I nominate "Happy Xmas", by John Lennon of all people.
The "war is over if you want it" parts which the choir keeps on bleating just makes me sick.



So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now


But, of the choices offered, I'd have to say "Dogs barking Jingle bells" - leaving its competitors a respectable distance behind it :D

That Grandma got cornholed by a reindeer shit drives me up the wall.>:(



Yah, and once you hear it, it never goes away. I think of the old movie scenes where the insane assylum is full of nuts screaming people, and I think they must have been exposed to that song and can't get it out of their heads...

No shit.

I used to like that song, simply because *finally* something else than "Oh come all ye faithful" and the like had come along.

Then my parents just had to go and buy a plastic reindeer head wreathed in fake holly to put on their front door.
And every time someone comes near the dratted thing, it goes:

"Hey - Have you seen Grandma around? Under the slei-eigh!? Well, don't look at me! It wasn't me drivin'!"
And then it starts to sing that dratted song.

Somehow, Christmas never has been the same since that accursed and dark Christmas of 2003.

Howzabout:
"Good King Wenslas car backed out,
on a piece of Stephen,
Steven's brains spread all about,
His mommy was a' screamin,

Stephen was a stupid boy,
Always dumb and foolish
When Good King Wenslas car backed out,
It was for everyone's own good..."

Or the other famous bit:
"While shepherds washed their socks by night,
All seated on the ground...."

Personally, I can't stand any of em'. Call me a humbug.

I used to like "The Restroom door said Gentlemen"
to the tune of God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen

and "Walking 'round in Womens Underwear"
to Walking in a Winter Wonderland

The Paul McCartney song was playing in the supermarket today when I was trapped in line.B|>:(



At least we don't have to deal with them all day every day like the folks that work in retail. Though when the clerk at the local CVS complained to me on December 7 that she "couldn't believe they were playing Christmas music this early" I thought she should consider herself lucky since many retailers have had their holiday stuff (and the matching music) out since Labor Day.

The absolute WORST is Judy Garland doing "Have Youself a Merry Little Christmas." That song is so depressing you would be glad to have an athiest cut your throat.

Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

Any TV or radio commercial that uses dumb, product lyrics over a "traditional" melody; like (to the tune of "Deck the Halls): "Get an oil change and a lube job..."

:S:S:S



This.

Apparently nobody here had heard the song, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas". I'm sure it would have come up by now if you had.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

lady fucking gagas christmas tree song.

:D:D Crappy song but I like the sentiment. After all, who doesn't like under-the-tree-sex?:D

I like all the old Christmas songs I grew up with. I hate the Grandma song and the Barking Dogs. All the celebrity Christmas vanity projects I can tune out pretty well.

I do enjoy hearing The Waitresses doing Christmas Wrapping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SzjDOk_u9I
