Yeah, Paul McCartney's post-Beatles work is 100% pure cheese.

Chacun à son goût. Count me in with those who can't stand them.

The version(s) of Sleigh Ride with lyrics. They are unnecessary to the piece...you get the picture without them. However, if there isn't a trumpet horse whinny at the end, you've just wasted three minutes of my life.

"Baby, it's cold outside." I simply cannot stand Zooey Deschanel's voice (or lack there of. )That song is like nails on a chalk board to me.

That's one that for me all depends on who's singing it. I love it by Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer. Almost anyone else, not so much.

There is this stupid song I heard a few weeks ago on the Christmas music station on Sirius. It's called Donde Esta Santa Claus by Augie Rios. It's in English and Spanish. The song is absolutely HORRIBLE and stupid. Ugh!

Unfortunately, I listen to it often because my little girl likes to be rocked to sleep listening to Christmas music and the damn song randomly pops up. Lol!

Since I have already heard the least favorite carol that I referred to in the first post (12 years ago), I am grinchily bumping this thread.

I have always hated the song Santa Baby, but I hate it even more now that I heard it with a male vocalist.

lolol

I forget (blocked out?) which one it was, but I heard Katy Perry doing one of the traditional Christmas songs and it was just. painful.

Have been forced to listen to contemporary Christmas music at work since November 1st. I already didn't like contemporary Christmas music, and can already tell this will lead to many "TURN THAT SONG OFF NOW"s in the future.

Also, Michael Buble's "Cold December Night": it's all cute and lonely until he gets to
"I want something that lasts forever
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
I'll wear you like a Christmas sweater"-

What?? I'm assuming he means something like he'll show her off at various holiday gatherings, but it just seems like a really porn-y/serial killer-y line.

LOL!

I like the original by Eartha Kitt. I mean, sheesh . . . It's Eartha Kitt. But otherwise, yeah, I can do without it.

Santa Baby by Madge is still the most hated and detested, but that obnoxious f-ing song by the Pretenders where Chrissie Hynde just whines and whines is moving up fast.
They played it CONSTANTLY at Bath & Body Works when I worked there for a minute. Oh, it's called "2000 Miles" which is how far away I want to be when this crap comes over the sound system.

Side note, I didn't know "Mary Did You Know" so I looked it up on youtube and yes the comment is true, at 1:26 Jesus is wearing shades. I LOLed.

Any and all novelty songs. Dogs barking, Grandma getting run over by a reindeer.

Charlotte Symphony is doing Sleigh Ride at our concert this weekend... Terribly excited about that. The rest, not so much. O Holy Night with a girl who sounds like a lounge singer & a drumset backing her up. Bah! Also unintentionally hilarious: Mary's Boy Child. First of all, that should NEVER be a choral arrangement. Second, it should only be sung by someone with excellent jazz/gospel skills. On top of that, Maestro has decided he wants us to CLAP the last page. It must have escaped his attention that we are a choir of 147 whites, 1 Latina, and 2 blacks. We ain't got THAT kind of rhythm.
