If you think about it, just about all Xmas music must be really annoying for people who are of religions that don't celebrate Xmas (the religious holiday). And then, the religious songs must be really annoying for people who celebrate Xmas (the consumer holiday).

UGH! I agree completely! They palyed "All I Want for Christmas" on the radio this morning! BLECH! Please stop turning one note into 50, Mariah!!!!!

Put up my Christmas tree last night and usually listen to my Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas music. My roomie, who is a huge N'Sync fan, said, "I have N'Sync Christmas! I'll get it". I thought, okay, maybe it will be decent. It sucked!!!! Ruined my holiday decorating!!! :(

The office supply store that used "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" during the August Back-To-School sales has made it possible for me to actually sit through the entire song...I couldn't handle it before, but at least now I can just think of the chubby man doing arabesques through the stationary aisle on a shopping cart....

Argh. I heard "Most Wonderful Time" for the first time today and it's time to revive this 3-year-old thread. I can't stand that sucker!!!

I went and saw Love Actually last night, and they sing 'All I Want for Christmas (Is you)". I still have that song in my head! I saw that someone mentioned Elvis earlier. My mom has a minor spaz when she hears 'Blue Christmas'. Apparently, her college roommate had the record, and she'd (the roommate) put it on repeat when she and her man were...uh...doing it. Mom says she always thinks of her trampy roommate with that song!

And, Maria Christmas songs are right DOWN there with Christina Christmas songs! UGH!

aj

'feliz navidad' blah

3 way tie for the worst....Meowing Cats, Barking Dogs and Grandma got run over by a Reindeer!
ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

rudolph the red nosed reindeer, frosty the snowman, santa claus is coming to town, up on the house top, jolly old st. nicholas..................however i'll never forget the versions of these we used to sing on the school bus............

LOL! My mom has that Jingle Cats cd.........each time she played it, my cat and my sister's cat would go crazy along with the dogs thinking there were real cats making that noise somewhere.

I can't stand any of them. Try working retail. It spoils any enjoyment you had before in holiday music.

My boss is OBSESSED with the Mariah Carey Christmas CD! He keeps it in our CD changer all year round and in the middle of JULY that damn cd will start playing and we'll all look around and my boss is standing there with a s**t-eating grin on his face. We warned him that someday that CD is going to wind up behind the safe where he'll NEVER find it :p

I hate the christmas carol that is a knock off of grandma got ran over by a reindeer, its the one about the KKK and black people. That song is aweful!!!:mad: One of my little cousins started singing it to me a few years back. I asked my uncle what in the hell has he been teaching Dean (my cousin).

Nooooo! I have the Jingle Cats CD (it was a gift) and I thought it would be annoying, but I was laughing so hard when I listened to it. Of course, I've only listened to it once, so maybe that's why I find it funny rather than annoying.

This will be my third Christmas of working retail. Luckily, now I work at the Limited so our holiday tape is a blend of some Christmas music, some regular music. However, my last mall job was at Boston Store (same as Bergner's/Carson Pirie Scott). We had a really obnoxious Christmas tape that only had about 2 hours worth of music on it. My very least favorite song was "Same Old Lang Syne." That's not going to make any sense to most of you, so here's some of the lyrics:

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how

It is the most depressing song ever! My senior year I was having a really happy Christmas - had gotten into all my colleges with scholarships, had a boyfriend, family stuff was good - every time they plaid this song at work I just started to tear up. IT's so catchy too...BLAH.

I actually like pretty much all other Christmas music, carols or cheesy. I'll play it all through out the year - I've been playing it non-stop since we put up our tree at work. It makes me happy.

What? No one mentioned "Dominic the Christmas Donkey"? WORST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER!!!

"...Hee haw, hee haw, it's Dominic the Donkey..."

It makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a candy cane!!!

I dislike all Chritmas songs/carols...when they are played in November.




edited for spelling

I'm adding one more to my list "The most wonderful time of the year"

I hate it because they play it every August when it's back to school season in the Staples or Office Depot commercial...........

That is not the most wonderful time of the year.....friends YES!

tests, papers, boring lectures, business plans, projects, advising, tuition and book fees........NO!

Of the ones I know, this one WOMPS!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Least Favorite Christmas Carol
 

Are you going to watch the American Idol Christmas Special tonight? They will be singing your #1 least fave Christmas carol, FYI!! :o

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - I HATE that song!

I hate the fact that it is not even Thanksgiving and the radio stations are already playing Christmas Songs like tomorrow is Christmas. I can't stand it!!!!

"Feliz Navidad" mainly because of listening to years and years of little children singing (screaming) that song at a school Christmas program.

the Hippopotamus song is near the top of my "don't like" list, so is Most Wonderful Time of the Year. But, my absolute worst is the one my 7 year old son sings... it goes like this:

Joy to the World,
Barney's Dead
I barbecued his head.

I totally tune him out after that line so I don't know the rest. The other one I hate is :

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg,
The batmobile lost a wheel and the joker took ballet.. hey!

Why do kids have to screw up perfectly good songs?

Dee

ETA: 8 minutes after I posted this, I got in the car to leave work, flip on the radio and the Hippo song is on. I suffered through it, wanting to hear a fave and the very next song was.. MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Unreal!

Candidate for Second Least Favorite Christmas Song:

Happy Holidays.:mad: I just heard it 12 times in 6 hours of driving. And here's why I hate it: "Whoopty-doo and dickory dock, and don't forget to hang up your stock!"

Truly the words of a desperate and/or demented lyricist.

I always get sick of "Jingle Bells" (minus the Mannheim Steamroller version). I worked for 4 years as the singing mechanical bears at the mall, and every little kid requested that darned song. I still can't listen to it 3 years later...

My Ex-BF loved Christmas music so much that he would turn the AC up full blast in the car in the middle of summer and play Christmas music...

UGH!

The TKEs here at Butler blare that song 24-7 in the weeks before exams. I love that song just for that reason, it makes me feel like it's actually Christmas time! :)

I hate:

1. Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer

2. Carol of the Bells

3. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

4. Chipmunk Song

5. Most Wonderful Time of the Year (especially now, since it's become the Staples back to school song)

I have to agree here. Also, since DH has his own version with "adult" lyrics which he loves to sing, which IS funny, but not always thinking about where we are at the moment ( in the mall, around the daughter, etc.J).

Musicians make interesting spouses.

This may be a terrible thing to say, but I am soooo sick of "Silent Night" that I could scream. I just think it is over-played.
(yes, I'm an old crab - I feel the same way about "Amazing Grace.")

My Least Favorites:

Traditional: GOOD KING WENCESLAS

Modern: GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER

I love that commercial. That's what I'll be doing when I have kids, sending them packing to school.

The one I hate is this one version of jingle bells that they play at my work... it's like a jazzed up version or something... and at one point instead of singing the words "jingle bells" it has the sound of jingle bells twice and then the singers sing "bells." It has the affect of the B-I-N-G-O song little kids sing where clapping took the place of the each letter... (or at least that's what it reminds me of and I think it's STUPID.) I also don't like go tell it on the mountain... don't know why... just don't enjoy that one.

You don't even have to work retail; just go in a store.

Just 10 minutes in K-Mart on Friday had me Scrooging all over the place. (I know -- any time spent in K-Mart can make you do weird things, but it really was the dreadful "music" this time.)

I get nauseated at any "cutesy" Christmas stuff. Most of the traditional songs are OK.

Is that the one that goes "Ring Christmas Bells" and slowly descends into a singing of annoying rounds? If so, I hate that one, too.

It's the one that has the lines "ring Christmas bells, sweet Christmas bells, ring loud and clear, Christmas is here....."and ends with "ding-dong-ding DONG!!!"

rudolph the red nosed reigndeer

Carol of the bells is one of my favorites :( I don't really like it with words though.... only when it's instrumental

* "You Make This A Christmas to Remember" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton....ICK!!!:rolleyes:

* "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"....SOOOOO skanky...:rolleyes:

* "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"....Just doesn't seem to scream birth of Christ to me???:confused:


On the other hand, there is a Christmas song I love by Sting, but no one can tell me the name....It sounds almost Gregorian chant-like....It's luscious and sensual (NOT in a sexual way.Passionate is maybe a better word)...


ETA: "I'll Have a Blue Christmas" by Elvis.....DIE ALREADY!!! GEEZUS!!!:mad:
