I believe it is the Jose Feliciano version of "Feliz Navidad" that you keep hearing. I'm not sure Freddie Fender ever covered it.

Anyway, while I agree with most of the annoying songs posted on this thread, the old standards are getting kind of tired too. Fortunately, there is a lot of contemporary Christmas songs that are worthy but they never get much airplay because most radio stations pretty locked down their Christmas playlist 20 years ago and never varied it. I think I will start a thread later this week on "overlooked" contemporary Christmas songs that deserve a place next to Bing Crosby, Bobby Helms and Nat King Cole in the repertoire.

Most radio stations pretty locked down their playlists PERIOD 20 years ago. It’s why non-talk commercial radio sucks these days.

I totally agree with the 20 year locked playlist, but what songs would you recommend for contemporary songs? Are they just newer groups singing older songs, or are they original?
