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

beat ya to it. Surprised we are the only two to have mentioned it!

Me too.

I'm normally non-violent, but those stupid Santa's that play "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" while Santa shakes his hips incite me to a violent rage.

“Christmas Eve in Washington” by Maura Sullivan has a magical way of giving me dry heaves.

I think it’s just a screwy premise.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

You are so right.
Definitely one of the most obnoxious songs ever.
Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

The muppets version of 12 Days is the only one I can stand to listen to.

You must have by now heard the duets version of “Blue Christmas” by Elvis and Martina McBride. She compliments EP but doesn’t suprecede him. Great song and great version of same.

Yes, I watched a tv special the other night showing this vid.

I thought it was well done.
