We have three radio stations in our are that play Christmas songs all day and another three that play one about every third song. What is interestingly absent are the silly songs like:
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dec9Jb_Ac4
Dear Santa (a personal favorite, the kid from Yemen wanting a grenade launcher is great): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jtd3GR38wo
Or you ain't gettin diddly squat cause you really messed up this year (not that I like it, but it annoys my grand daughter): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoINm3ZWlAE
along with All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, All the chipmunk songs, Grandma got run over (thank goodness), basically anything silly.
They also do not play anything overly religious. I have called and all they say is they don't play those.
Anyone know what's up?
By the way, I'd be happy NOT to hear any John Lennon Christmas songs, Wham or George Michael Christmas songs, Mannheim Steam Roller songs, Maddona Christmas songs, and any collaboration of pop musicians lecturing us about the world via some crappy Christmas song.
Santa I want a goat for Christmas
I guess you had to be there :)
Ooooooo! “emendation” Anew word for me. Thanks. Christmas came early.
Oh yeah, Santa Baby, that girl did the best version of that tune.
They are full of micro-aggressions.
I mean like... yeah I know Lennon is being the peacenik. But the right kind of war, a gospel war, will soon do a lot to bring a paradoxical peace. Trouble is, it needs a godly mindset to carry it out and that can take a lifetime in the school of hard knocks to learn.
What we hate is sometimes very close to something we should very dearly love. It’s easy to say sanctimony, not so easy to bring sanctification, if you get my drift.
It's the Most Fattening Time of the Year
The Night when Santa went Crazy
The Christmas Can-Can
A Terrorist Christmas
The Eight Days of Hanukkah
And just to show I embrace diversity..
THIS new song sure to be a classic...
Have an Allahu Akbar Ramadan at Post 25
This one is clearly raciss:
William Hung
Hung for the Holidays

Liked it
I don’t like the silly ones, but I do love Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
One of my favorites from the 80’s; Run DMC’s “Christmastime in Hollis”. This song also is heard in another 80’s Classic, “Die Hard”.
I agree. The stuff on the radio is horrid. I heard some woman warbling O Holy Night the other day and listening to the words couldn’t figure out what made the night holy. They had removed all references to Christ and she basically just kept repeating “O holy night” and “O night divine” as she demonstrated the broad range of her voice. I was left wondering “what was the point of that song?”
I would say something really nasty to you, but I won’t.
In before the Zot.
I always liked, “I am Santa Claus”
By AC/DC.
Three from Stan Freberg:
Nuthin’ For Christmas

Christmas Dragnet / Yulenet

Frankly, both of those songs are in major keys, the former in G major and the latter in C major. But they are not short on sanctimony indeed. (Even worse, the word “sanctimony” means the opposite today of its original meaning.)
The only Christmas-themed song by AC/DC that I recall is “Mistress for Christmas”.
