Christmas Songs that you hate

stevew · 12-16-2009, 10:00 PM

I hate the song "wonderful Christmas time" by I think Paul McCartney. It is so douchy I almost shut down in anger everytime it plays.

Also cannot stand "Blue Christmas" by Elvis or any version of "jingle bell rock".

JimboJ · 12-16-2009, 10:02 PM

That stupid Christmas Wrapping song

Sun Tzu · 12-16-2009, 10:02 PM

Feliz Navidad has got to be the single most idiotic christmas song out there.

DaddyTorgo · 12-16-2009, 10:11 PM

all of them. i'm sick of them.

but then again i'm a scrooge.

mckerney · 12-16-2009, 10:15 PM

Pretty much all of them except for this:

All I Want For Christmas (Is To Rock)

Karlifornia · 12-16-2009, 10:16 PM

The one that talks about figgy pudding or whatever.

Not a big fan of the McCartney tune either. Don't mind Blue Christmas, and Jingle Bell Rock gives me a chuckle from the edited version, "later we'll have some [bleep]-ing pie" (thanks, Don & Mike).

In the spirit of the thread, the Beach Boys would like to remind us that Christmas comes this time each year.

A whole bunch of scrooge's in here!

stevew · 12-16-2009, 11:53 PM

for some reason I do dig this one....At least a few times a year

Swaggs · 12-17-2009, 12:47 AM

I like most Christmas songs -- I think Christmas Wrapping is a great song.

I don't mind the George Michael song, but lord, that video. I'm glad I wasn't a teenager during the 80s. Also, how was I ever surprised when George Michael came out?

sterlingice · 12-17-2009, 12:58 AM

My wife has this irrational dislike of the Marilyn Monroe version of "Santa Baby". To be fair, it's kindof a crappy song. But her and her mom both make these awful faces when its played over the holidays.

SI

bhlloy · 12-17-2009, 01:43 AM

Long hours working at McDonalds during the holidays as a teenager has left me with a lifelong hatred of most christmas music. There are three good xmas songs - Band Aid, Fairytale of New York by the Pogues and for some reason A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris DeBurgh. Anything else just puts me into a crappy mood. Bah humbug.

Chief Rum · 12-17-2009, 01:51 AM

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

ntndeacon · 12-17-2009, 01:59 AM

Christmas Shoes is atrocious and should be banned from playing ever again.

rowech · 12-17-2009, 05:17 AM

My two favorite are easily Band Aid's "Do They Know it's Christmas" and Greg Lake's "Father Christmas", and "O Holy Night" when it's done right.

The ones I can't stand...as some have mentioned...Elvis' "Blue Christmas", McCartney's song, "Grandma got run over", and some others here and there.

Malificent · 12-17-2009, 06:06 AM

The Band Aid song should die a painful death alongside the McCartney one and the Lennon one and the Christmas shoes one.

I can tolerate "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" but only barely.

I like a lot of Christmas songs, but these are just hideous.

whomario · 12-17-2009, 06:32 AM

Do you guys get tortured with "Last Christmas" by Wham in the US ?

Over here it´s played multiple times a day on every fucking channel every freaking year around christmas (starting in late november) since it´s been written in the 1980s. If not the original than one of the million stupid cover versions. Memo : You can´t make this song sound good, quit trying ! It´s like one of the plagues ...

seriously, look how damn long the wiki page is and it´s more annoying and everpresent than moscitos in the summer : Last Christmas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

edit : @ stevew : Burn !!! (couldn´t see videos at work)

Did MM ever record a record (I know there's the Happy Birthday clip, but beyond that...)? You might be thinking of the Eartha Kitt version. Which my wife very much dislikes as well.

Kodos · 12-17-2009, 08:36 AM

I enjoy "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al.

Not an official video, but here it is for the song:

That "All I Want For Christmas (Is To Rock)" is pretty cool too, mckerney.

sterlingice · 12-17-2009, 08:47 AM

I absolutely love The Night Santa Went Crazy, tho I prefer the older lyrics to the newer ones.

SI

JediKooter · 12-17-2009, 12:34 PM

Really can't stand most of them, not because I'm a scrooge, but, because, well, most of them just suck ass.

The only song I really like is Christmas in Hollis.

Warhammer · 12-17-2009, 12:49 PM

Christmas at Ground Zero and 2000 Miles are good Christmas songs.

Sun Tzu · 12-17-2009, 01:03 PM

My favorite christmas song is "Last Christmas" by WHAM!.

I've always been a fan of George Michael, plus I'm jewish (though not practicing, in fact we use to put a star of David on top of our Xmas tree) so all of the religious ones don't really hold any meaning for me.

boberot · 12-17-2009, 01:36 PM

I hate most X-mas tunes, with the exception of the Pogues song, The Little Drummer Boy and one obscure record from when I was a kid.

It was the 70s, so it had these funky-jazzy arrangements of songs like "Roly Poly the Polar Bear," "Morris the Moose," "Who's that up on the Roof," "Donner & Blitzen," etc.

Most people have never heard of it, but those I've talked to who listened to it as a kid have an insane fondness for it.

Same with me. I don't think I'd feel any differently if I celebrated Christmas, but I guess I'll never know.

KWhit · 12-17-2009, 09:00 PM

Any version of the 12 Days of Christmas. God that song sucks.

I am in this boat. 13 years of working retail has given me a real hatred for just about all Christmas songs.
