For many people, Christmas is a time for celebration. It is a time of parties, gift giving, reunions, food and vacationing.

Christmas is also a time of music, and there are countless songs that people enjoy during the holiday season. The music of the holiday season is something that unites people, as both religious and popular songs are enjoyed by a wide variety of people.

Of course, not all Christmas songs are universally enjoyed. Some tend to be a little more annoying than others and some are flat-out painful.

This may be due to the song itself, or it may be because it has simply been overplayed for so long that no one wants to hear it anymore. With that in mind, here are a few of the most annoying Christmas songs and why they are difficult to hear during the season.

Annoying Christmas Song No. 5: I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Oh my goodness! I HATE that song! Drives me up the wall!

[LiveFree99]

Indeed, I was thinking of “Dominic the Donkey,” a song that makes me instantly change the radio station, when I saw that you had mentioned it. Stupid and annoying.

[StAntKnee]

Ah, memories of my youth at Christmas.

Hmmm. That only makes it worse.

I got the gospel story down. And even taught it to my kids. If the grandkids were nearby, I’d enjoy.

Or if we only celebrated Christmas once every four years, like the World Cup or the Olympics. Now that’d be a holiday I could dig.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to all of you FRs.

[GunsAndBibles]

The absolute worst has to be that one by John Lennon that starts “so this is Christmas ...” I would have loved to give that snotty jackass a smack across the face.

That's the worst right after

"My Grown-up Christmas Gift"

Pure schmalzy liberal dreck...

[EggsAckley]

Back in the days when “Grandma go Run Over...” was first written, and just recorded on a 45 record, I was performing on the casino circuit, and happened to be alternating sets with Elmo & Patsy at the Hyatt Tahoe at Christmas time. Each group played six sets a night, so we were treated to “Grandma....” SIX TIMES A NIGHT!! SIX NIGHTS A WEEK!! FOR A WHOLE MONTH!!

Needless to say, I got very sick of that song in a hurry. I still cringe when I hear it today.

Kind of like the time I got sick on Dinty-Moore Beef Stew; whenever I look at a can of it I throw up a little in my mouth.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Ahh....I Yust go Nuts at Christmas and Yingle Bells - those are the ones!

[GAB-1955]

I agree. I hate that song more than any other Christmas song.

[Stultis]

When I was a little kid my grandmother had some 78 and 45 records with Yogi Yorgesson singing various comedy songs.

That "halibut" one, and more, including two Christmas songs, here:

Loads of great stuff at the Internet Archive.

I'm listening to some Jean Shepherd (the radio raconteur who wrote and narrated "The Christmas Story" movie about "Ralphie" and the "Red Rider" B-B gun) right now:

[Fresh Wind]

These aren’t all that bad, but they are so overplayed that they are annoying...

Little Drummer Boy by the Harry Simeone Chorale
Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire by Nat King Cole
White Christmas by Bing Crosby
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by whoever

These are just bad (one play is too much):

Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen
Happy Christmas-War is Over by John Lennon
Christmas Song by the Chipmunks

[JoeProBono]

[ProfoundMan]

Pretty much anything on this album would qualify.

[EggsAckley]

Thank you so much for the nausea. A double whammy.

[stormer]

I’m with you. I HATE HATE HATE that song and every “artist” who has performed it.

[RJR_fan]

The Divine Infant, being forever free of sin and aware of His role from the get-go, probably wouldn’t have reacted to such a thing by getting cranky or wailing.

The guy who wrote An Autobiography of a Yogi testified of popping out of the womb fully aware of who he was, and of all the lives he'd lived before. Somehow, this doesn't square with what we know of real human infants. Did Jesus Christ come in the flesh, or not? Was the word made flesh, or not?

The docetists taught that the Eternal Son of God was too holy to be contaminated by such a thing as matter, by such human needs as eating and excreting. Their "Jesus" was a hologram, an illusion that only seemed to be vile flesh.

The Appolonarians claimed that the human mind of Jesus was replaced by the divine Logos that simply rode the fleshly body like a vehicle.

On this Feast of the Incarnation, we as Christians celebrate something completely different -- a Word made flesh, God become man. Not faking it, but coming to us as a real baby, complete with the limits a real baby body and a real baby mind impose on one.

The baby who gets lulled to sleep by someone banging on a drum might be deaf. Or might be a demigod. But not a normal human baby.

If the Word did not truly become flesh, then how could Jesus die for fallen humanity?

Or, to return to my original question, how stoopid did this songwriter consider us to be?

[Psycho_Bunny]

She’s super-cute but that over-processed, lifeless voicing gets really old, really quick.

“Walkin’ Round in Women’s Underwear”
posted in honor of pending repeal of DADT

(first heard it when Mark Levin played it to honor Keith Olberman)

[Dixie Yooper]

Little Drummer Boy

[stormer]

"You keep shootin' your mouth off, and I'll give you more than the hives..."

[GOPJ]

It is a song about gift giving, and the person getting the gifts is obviously excited. The problem with this song is that it just never seems to end. Not only is the singer going to tell the audience about all 12 gifts, but she is also going to repeat all the prior gifts as she goes along, as if she were making sure that everyone is paying attention. Face it, it's basically the Christmas equivalent of "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall."

ROTFLMAO

[Niteflyr]

Yep “Santa Baby” is really a gold-digger’s anthem...:o)
