Okay then, time for some holiday levity in our humorless of-late march toward the end of year 2009 ... Let's find out which of these popular Christmas hits (which they start playing on the radio in October in my neck of the woods) is the community's least favorite (read: most hated) Christmas song. Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas Time Forever we must wonder this. Why doesn't someone just ask them? Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You This one is kind of catchy the first few hundred times. Wham! - Last Christmas George Michael learns this lesson about those lying b*****s every year. Elton John - Step Into Christmas Stop it!!! John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over) YOKO Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmas Time :blank: Alvin & The Chipmunks - Christmas Don't Be Late This one never gets old. Or does it? Jose Feliciano - Feliz Navidad Because with Jose Feliciano, "you got no complaints." Peanuts - Christmas Time Is Here They say if you listen to Charlie Brown music too long, you can suffer cardiac ventricular fibrillation. It was proven in clinical trials. :twitch: The Beach Boys - Little Saint Nick Beaches, surfing, Christmas ... some things just work together. :yes: Vote and comment at will!
Man, how could you hate Charo back in the day singing Feliz Navidad? She had more curves than a snake and her own mountain range! She had the best pair of...lungs. elvicthr The christmas song I like least is from Da Yoopers, called "Da Tirdy Point Buck". Up here in the north, they play it from the beginning of deer season until the 1st of the new year. This really goes without saying but some of the people in Australia and Belgium and South America and other places that aren't the states might not know, that the population of Wisconsin just ain't right. There is something in the drinking water over there that they've been drinking for generations that makes them the way they are, eventually leading them to write songs like "Da Tirdy Point Buck".
I really had to THINK about some of those, but yeah- constantly whining every year about poor countries- who by the way don't even CELEBRATE Christmas- takes the cake for me. Help at Home in the US
Should novelty songs be on this list? (Alvin and the Chipmunks) I think they were MEANT to be annoying. Foer example, All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas or Grandma Got Run Over by a Raindeer. And that Punjabi one on youtube - Punjabi Jingle Bells. #1 is going to win. It's lyrics are basically "Look at me, look what I can do!" :dance: There's got to be a hundred of these.
As" Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer" isn't on the list, gotta go with the Chipmunks. It was fun the first one or two times, when I was a kid, now it tends to make me reach for any improvised weapon in reach. :evilgrin: OMG'S!! You're stuck with 93.9FM, The Light where you are?? :twitch: You poor, poor, man. :hug: For those of you without children under the age of 10 or so, count yourself lucky regarding Christmas Music in the car (unless you like it, of course). N's been decent this year with his car music requests. Last year he asked for the Christmas station deliberately (yes, I mean deliberately!) just to see how far he could drive Dad nuts. Of course, J, being the wonderful wife and mother she is, helped him out. For me, I like a lot of the classics and firmly believe the Charlie Brown, should NOT, *REPEAT* NOT be up there. That's some damn good jazz mixed in with the Christmas Music. Lately I've been losing myself in the Fine Arts Music station at work, listening to various classical pieces. I had no idea how many of our Christmas Songs came from J.S Bach and Mendelsson.
I don't know every song in here but 'Last Christmas' drives me insane... I just can't listen to it. Gah... too much repetition. It the same with the Die Hard (all three) and Home Alone re-runs in TV. They always put those two series on winter Holidays in Poland... it's freaking ridiculous.
At least it gives you a break from 'Roadhouse.' I should have made this a multiple choice poll: I'm tortured trying to decide if 'Step Into Christmas' is worse than 'Wonderful Christmas Time' personally.
Hands down Wonderful Christmas Time degrades my sanity and ability to act in a calm and reasonable manner when i hear it. The worst part is that it will end up stuck in my head for days if I hear it. Kind of sad really, i really like the Beatles otherwise.
I'm happy to say I don't know half of these. But for the Band-Aid haters - <cough> Bono's line? The true meaning of the season? And I pity the fool who doesn't like Peanuts music :no: My vote is for Wham (of course).
ST is correct of course. Wham should not be tolerated during any season, particulary winter, spring, summer or fall. They want to wake us up, before they go-go, 'cause they don't plan on going solo and keep us hanging on like a yo-yo.
What - thank god someone else is suffering instead of us, or "the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom?" I'm convinced. WCT for the 'lose!' I too often wonder what the hell McCartney was thinking.
I'm no advocate of drug use, but I think many of the 'greats' actually did their best composing while under the influence. It's not too surprising I suppose - altered mental state lets you access creative centers of the brain more freely or something. Maybe McCartney was clean by the time we were given WCT. Or maybe it was just a miss. Babe Ruth struck out once in a while too.
It's probably like alcohol: A little bit helps. A little more messes up everything. I usually enjoy his work. But I no longer try very hard to partake of it.
