For several weeks now a few local radio stations have been playing Christmas music non-stop, and I love hearing the songs celebrating the season -- especially the traditional carols.
How can you help but feel better when you hear Nat King Cole's smooth voice singing "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." (The Christmas Song) or Bing Crosby wishing you a White Christmas with every Christmas card he writes. And when Mark Lowry asks Mary if she knew that her baby boy would one day walk on water, it gives me chills. My drive home from work from late November to late December is so much more peaceful and enjoyable as I hear so many cheerful and encouraging songs celebrating the nativity.
There are, however, a few annoying songs that seem to get a lot of play this time of year that prompt me to change the station as soon as they begin. Just the first few notes, before the lyrics even kick in, make me want to hurl, or lash out at the stupidity of the idiot that put the disc in the player.
So as a diversion from the more important issues of the day, please post the titles/artists of the songs of the season that induce the urge to vomit or cause you to change the station when you hear them.
Here are my top most annoying Christmas songs ever: 1. So This Is Christmas (War is over?) by John Lennon 2. Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney 3. Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart by Wham/George Michael 4. Santa Baby by Madonna
I don’t think I liked “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” the first time I heard it.
Now Adam Sandler’s The Hanukkah Song I like.
In fact, Adam Sandler seems to be a pretty decent fellow for a celeb.
"Feliz Navidad" = #2.
Some New Age, left wing idiot could make a million bucks reworking that into "I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus" Then they would have to burn in hell forever.
Meme Kalikimaka by Poi Dog Pondering has to be near the top. It is on the Acoustic Christmas CD (various artists with some decent songs) and never fails to get a groan from anyone who hears it.
Some mid-week silliness.
Good correction. Of course you know Bob has been dead for some time.
Did you see the bio-movie with Greg Kinnear? Not bad.
Well, Mele Kalikimaka to you anyway.
I hate that song!
Believe me, after living for three years in Hawaii as a kid, I’m so glad I never have to ever hear that song again.
I’ve been spared then, ‘cause I’ve never heard this “Dominick the Donkey.”
Yes, Bob and Doug MacKenzie! That one is for the good ledger.
There is a band from New Brunswick, NJ, (crap I cannot think of the name right now) they do the song but the background music is "Baba O'Rielly" by the WHO. It sounds awesome.
By a nose, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".
By a whisker, "Rudy the Red-Nosed Rinodeer".
Leni
“How can you not appreciate ‘Grandma got run over by a reindeer’”?
Well, I’m glad you enjoy it.
Although, “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus” had a humorous twist...
"(So -— thanks a lot! It’s in my head right now! AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!)"
The "Ding Fries Are Done" that people send you to the tune of "Carol of the Bells" gets stuck in my head and it drives me nuts.
It was around the time that film came out that one of his sons established the website to show the old films/videos that Bob had recorded. His father had shown them to him (or one of the sons) as a boy. Creepy to the extreme.
Have you heard “Walkin Around in Wimen’s Underwear” to the tune of Winter Wonderland? HILARIOUS!!
OMG!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!! This has made my DAY/WEEK!!! I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! I had NO idea of how to do You Tube searches.....THANKS AGAIN!!
Oh and I’d like to add, “Rockin’ Around teh Christmas Tree.”
I hate that one with a passion.
