Every time I hear it, I want to scream! They played it when I was at Starbucks last night. So annoying!

I heard Celine Dion singing Feliz Navidad the other day and my ears started bleeding...it was HORRIBLE. Give me back Jose Feliciano - he's the ONLY person who should ever sing that song.

Why is Joni Mitchell's "River" now a Christmas song? Because it mentions ice skating?

Well he is kind of getting up there. And while I do love Feliz navidad, I tend to get sick of it very quickly during the Christmas season because they play it so damn much during the holiday.

And it's the same few lines over and over and over and over and over and over . . . .

The Christmas Shoes - BLECCH. There's nothing that screams holiday joy more than a song about a dirt-poor family and their mom's impending death.

There are less than 20 words in this entire song. Shakespeare he is not.

Very true. However part of the reason I love the song is it's simplicity, but since it's the only Spanish Christmas song most people know, the radio stations won't stop playing it.

Think about it...radio stations have long forgotten to play seasonal music post-Christmas Day. This includes songs that mention cold weather, ice skating, snow, sleigh rides, and a wonderful white world of winter WITHOUT the word Christmas in the lyrics.

It's not like she was singing it live...just because he's getting older doesn't mean we need to bring in a French Canadian woman (with a wretched voice, IMO) to jazzy it up and wreck a perfectly good espanol song!

Your point? Just because a song has few words (or even not ANY words) doesn't mean it's a great song.

Yes! This! And the fact that it's catchy, upbeat, and my kids like it and don't make me play something that makes me want to stab my eardrum with a fork.
Can you guys tell I'm serious about my Jose Feliciano???

My point is I find it to be a tedious, monotonous and repetative song.
ETA: The occasional composition entitled "Song Without Words" notwithstanding, a song by definition has words, so yeah -- a song without any words isn't really much of a song.

I loath The Little Drummer Boy. I think I've said that before on this thread though. And though Mariah Carey's song is good, it's way too overplayed. Enough already.
