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
Who doesn’t love Three French Toasts, Two Turtlenecks, and a Beer?
BOB and Doug Mckenzie from the movie “Strange brew”
love those guys...
Blue Christmas sung by Billy West as Porky Pig.
Elvis. Blue Christmas. That song gets under my skin.
I like “Christmas in Jail” by the Bobs, not to be confused with “Christmas in Prison” by John Prine ;-
But either will do for our dear Milorad. Received from a friend, author anonymous:
To the tune of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”
Get packin’, Rod Blagojevich
The state’s in disarray
The Tribune wants you unemployed
At least by Christmas Day.
The TV pundits want your head
Could there be pay to play?
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois !
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Good riddance Rod Blagojevich
Your Elvis look’s insane,
The Senate’s mad, so’s Lisa’s dad.
You drive us all insane.
Our transit’s broke, the state’s a joke, The
Tollway’s one big pain.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois !
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Good luck old Rod Blagojevich
The feds have quite a place.
Fitzgerald’s poked his nose around
And if he has a case,
George Ryan’s moving stuff around
Creating extra space.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Save Illinois !
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
All of them...Bah Humbug!
Christmas is great and all, the trees and lights and stuff are nice...but I don’t want to hear ANY Christmas songs while I am shopping. It is the exact same stuff over and over again - it drives me absolutely bonkers, and I have begged managers to turn it off or at least down. My life does not need a soundtrack. I can’t be the only one...
The Bing Crosby/David Bowie duet of Little Drummer Boy isn't half bad.
groan...
you silly man.
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...
Not a big fan of Christmas music in general. And my kids/wife love that ‘hippo for Christmas’ song...argh.
Shouldn’t those PC songs be relabelled anyway? Like, “Do they know it’s Holiday Time at All” or “And so this is Holiday.”
But this one is pretty good!

The dogs barking “Jingle Bells,” hands down. And this is coming from a dog lover.
I almost included it, but wanted to list just the four that I absolutely despise the most and let others add their personal disfavorites.
I don't listen to Rush during December because he plays them.
Grown Up Christmas List (I think that’s the name) by Barbra Streisand makes me want to gag every time I hear it.
I hate all the Christless Christmas songs, which is most of them.
