Vanity: Most Annoying Christmas Songs
The Radio | 12/17/2008 | VRWCmember

Posted on 12/17/2008 7:50:42 AM PST by VRWCmember

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 want to say that Adam Sandler is a Republican, but I could be wrong.

I do think Sandler was a Giuliani supporter.

The antidote to “Santa Baby” is “5 Pound Box of Money,” especially the Pearl Bailey original.

“I especially hate any VARIATION of the 12 Days of Christmas that changes the gifts.”

My favorite Christmas song of all time is the Cajun 12 days of Christmas.

Ohhhhh man, you nailed it for me! Christy Lane. Who the hell is Christy Lane and why are her rotten/horrible commercials on every cable tv station here in Los Angeles? Enough of this woman already; she’s enough to make me physically ill. Is she stuck in the 70’s? Can someone please send her back there? (Full-on Dogbarf and Gack Alert!)

Back in 2001, when the song came out, I had my first son who had maconium aspiration and had to be air-evaced to another hospital for treatment.

I didn’t get to see him for the first 3 days, since I was recovering in one hospital and he was in another, so to help me pass the time and not fret about it, my husband and MIL spent all the time they could, playing card games with me and wouldn’t ya know...my husband would NOT stop singing that stupid song. I think he sang it more to annoy his mom, than me, but now every time I hear it, I think of the memory of having my first born.

Carol of Bells...or whatever it is called.

I hate those bells, can’t stand those bells, don’t play those bells, can’t stand those bells...stop wishing me a merry christmas...stop wishing me a merry christmas...

Ohh, no here, I absolutely love that song and most covers of it too.

I believe you’re right.

If nothing else, at least he’s on the side of the United States in the war on terror. Those kinds of celebs are few and far between.

The thing that annoys me the most about her commercials, (no, not the repetition, that's bad enough) is that SHE HERSELF is doing the voice over! You listen to the way it reads, she is speaking of herself, the artist, in the third person, "Her voice is beloved all over the world," "She is *yadda yadda*" -- every time I hear it, I'm screaming at the television: Couldn't you find a script writer to phrase this in terms of "I", "My music" or something?? My hub says she must be selling the CD's out of her basement.

Any song where the vocalist decides to add ten or fifteen syllables to a word. Also know an “vocal gymnastics”. Most black artists do this.

Not to generalize here, but I think it is loud mouths in GENERAL who do this.

"Look at me, me me me! Look at meeeee!"

Does not make any song better. Ever.

How can you not appreciate “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”? It’s one of the most imaginarily humorous songs ever written! And it has a genuine Christmas sound to it!

It is beyond horrible. It could be used as torture in extremely tough to crack enemies.

I’m sure it’s being used at Club Gitmo as we speak.

Ouch, you're right, so the very premise of Mary Did You Know? is screwy, or does it represent the views of some Christian sect?

Reminds me of the Simpson's episode where they have the guy singing the Star Spangled Banner before a ball game. You see the clock when he starts is 7:25, then they fast forward to him singing "and the home of the brave" and the clock says 7:51.
