This is a posting-pest free thread. Please respect.
(I will be away from 22 Dec until 02 Jan. During my absence all of my posts and replies will be done by a new app called PostBot. As this is a beta version please excuse any foul language, personal attacks, and baseless accusations. I will resume control on 02 Jan. Merry Christmas!)
(What is more bothersome than a malarial mosquito or more disease-ridden than an upland leech? A posting pest! If you are bothered by these annoying creatures take heart: new hardware and apps are being developed as this is written to provide early detection and timely eradication. Stay tuned…)
Actually, it does beg the question: What exactly is a “This is a posting-pest free thread”?
How do I know I will be in violation? Heck, I probably am already. Figures.
I’m sure Chet hates being reminded of that awful incident involving his manhood.
I find most of the Christmas songs to be OK. The problem is that there are so many interpretations of the same songs. There are some decent versions but most are really really bad. There are many singers with one hit wonders that then think they can sing Christmas songs. This is really sad. By the time December 25th comes around I am looking forward to December 26th and some normalcy on the radio.
Down with posting about posting pests!
2. Gramma Got Run Over by A Reindeer
3. Rockin Around the Christmas Tree
Just knowing these songs are about to be played into the ground for a whole month is what makes me dread Christmas.
Heinous is embodied in a rousing chorus of kids doing All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth will a lisping kid singing the lead.
They could always play these songs after 2 a.m. at any Waffle House.
DANG!
No such thing as a heinous Christmas song.
That stupid GD “Hippopotamus” song. Uff-Da.
My least favorite:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Every single store plays it over and over!
Last Christmas by Wham - especially heinous when you realize he is singing it to a guy.
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer - well no duh.
Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney - I really like Paul McCartney, but I really hate this song.
Do They Know It’s Christmas Time - just...no...
War is Over by John Lennon - Horrible lyrics, catchy tune, absolutely cremated by Yoko Ono squawking.
Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk on Christmas) by John Denver - Nothing says Happy Holidays like alcoholism.
Oh Holy Night by Christina Aguilera - One of my favorite holiday songs made to sound like the Walmart Christmas aisle looks on Christmas Eve. If you’ve been there, you know what I mean.
Now for my favorites. I am going mostly for albums here:
The John Rutter Christmas Album - Candlelight Carol is so awesome it gives me goose bumps.
Any of the Brian Setzer Christmas albums, but his first one is best.
Any of the Harry Connick Jr. Christmas albums, but his first one is best.
and my all time favorite Christmas album is...
The Carpenters’ Christmas Album
Busch's Christmas opus, which is set to a melody that sounds like an old Lutheran hymn (and probably is) is no longer on Youtube, but you can listen to a recitation here.
Anything by the Chipmunks.
And yeah, if Santa loved me he'd beat Bruce Springsteen on the throat with a ballbat for Christmas. Wait a minute, maybe he already did...
Bob Rivers and Twisted Radio turns all Christmas songs upside down and inside out funny!
“Little Drummer Boy”.
Worst.
Christmas.
Song.
Ever!
I actually like most of the so-called “classics” - once or twice. The problem is that my local Christian station that I keep on in the car and house plays them over and over and over from Thanksgiving through Christmas. I’m so sick if Rudolph and Frosty and Burl Ives and Brenda Lee....
It finally got through to me this year that there’s no way on earth to make “The Little Drummer Boy” not be annoying. I don’t care who performs it.
