City News Toronto ^ | Shalini Roy

[Alas Babylon!]

“Run, run, Rudolph, whizzin’ like a merry-go-round,”

Don't eat the yellow snow, for sure!

RE: Kenny G

If his music is that bad, why is he worth $50 Million?

See here:

Obviously people are listening to and buying his music.

RE: How did they miss the condescending peacenik yarn “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” by John Lennon.

I dunno, I’ve seen wives of Vietnam vets cry when they hear this song...

[dfwgator]

Yeah well, a lot of people like Michael Bolton, too.

PT Barnum was right.

[tumblindice]

C’mon, you really don’t like The Barking Dogs rendition of “Jingle Bells”?
Not even when they get to (jingle) “all the way” and the big dogs take over to do the lower register?
I’d like to see some cats try that ...
[OK, it’s on now.]

[SeekAndFind]

RE: “Jingle Bell Rock” is not number 1?

It was not even on the list.

[dfwgator]

I’m sure the Khmer Rouge loved that song too.

[Mears]

OMG,I forgot about that dog song.

You just gave me a good laugh.

I’m with you-especially when I’m driving to/from a jobsite-I enjoy jamming while I drive, so any of those mostly whiny songs make me change the station. Do rock stations really need to play that stuff?

Don't like Mariah Carey's song, huh? ... Check out this version:

[Fresh Wind]

Rapper “Dr. Dre” is said to be worth $780 million.

Quality and cash flow are two totally different things.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I love “Run, Run Rudolph,” both the Chuck Berry and the Keith Richards versions. It doesn’t have anything to do with Christmas, and it doesn’t pretend to. It’s just a great and fun tune.

[CrazyIvan]

I'm assuming Yanni never did Christmas music or the argument would be settled.

[Georgia Girl 2]

7. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Dissing this song is a sacrilege in Dixie. :-)

[Jane Long]

All of the above plus “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”.

---

THAT ^^ silly song needs to be banned, everywhere ;-)

[Mr Ramsbotham]

1. Any Christmas song sung by a "celebrity."

2. Feliz Navidad. I hate this so much I've put together my own special version:

Phillip Navidad,
He is very bad,
Phillip Navidad,
Stole my woman and he knocked her up.

I wanna wish him a fairy Christmas!
I wanna wish him a hairy Christmas!
I wanna wish him a scary Christmas,
From the heart of my bottom!

Phillip Navidad,
Phillip Navidad .... (on and on and on, ad infinitum.)

[John S Mosby]

It’s the elevator music consortium— people forced to listen to.. something in the elevator, that and overhead muzak.
Muzak being a brand name for never were artists to have their crap played over and over, for royalties.

Nowadays it’s ....everywhere, youtube streaming sites and vast arrays of sat radio. So, while it is somebody “listening” they mostly aren’t but kenny still gets paid.
Smart, and irrelevant.

[Flycatcher]

“Jingle Bell Rock” is not number 1?

The late Bobby Helms was great. Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

Yes, we overplay it today, but it was a great recording.

[Be Free]

3. Wonderful Christmastime

As soon as I read the headline, that's the first one that came to mind. Hate that song! Vacant, vapid, nonsense. PLUS, it gets stuck in my head for hours everytime I hear it played - OH THE HUMANITY! This was from the Linda, Wings, McCartney-as-PopStar phase. Wish I could completely forget that horrid period in Paul's career.
