I don't care for the canine recording of Jingle Bells, but I love the Jingle Cats' version (^..^)/

Among my worst: Johnny Mathis' rendition of Sleigh Ride. Sorry, but he sounds like a creepy weird little elf...or leprechaun....or jockey...or some similar little creature.
Also, Springsteen's Christmas song, whatever the heck its called. Even when he's in the Christmas mood, he sounds like he's in bad need of a laxative. The guy's perpetually blocked up.
Consider: she's a flaming, ACLU card-carrying liberal and she's Jewish. She has said she was educated at a yeshiva where she was told she must never even speak the word "Christmas." Yet, she has recorded at least two Christmas abums, one of which has sold more copies than any other Christmas album in history. These albums do not comprise merely secular Christmas songs either. Among the songs she has recorded are "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Ave Maria."
Does this mean she is accepting of Christian cultural traditions? Only in a very narrow sense, for its commercial profit potential.
Like many liberals, she tolerates the lamb because she values its fleece. But the lamb must stay confined and muzzled lest it offend anyone by drawing undue attention to itself.
GGROBAR is the most awful IMO
Hey I love the Barking dogs' version of "Jingle Bells." It ain't Christmas for me without that one!
The Christmas song that gets me to change radio stations every time: Band-Aid "Do They Know it's Christmas"
You know it as the song with the annoying FEED THE WORLD, repeated over and over again at the end of the song.
Walking Around In Women's Underwear
by Bob Rivers
"Lacey things, the wife is missing.
Didn't ask, for her permission
I'm wearing her clothes,
her silk panty hose.
Walking around in women's underwear.
In the store, there's a teddy.
With little straps, like spagetti.
It holds me so tight,
like handcuffs at night.
Walking around in womens underwear
In the office there's a guy named Melvin.
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say "Are you ready?"
I'll say, "Woah man! Lets wait untill the wife is out of town."
Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress, like Madonna.
Put on some eye shade, and join the parade.
Walking around in women's underwear.
Lacey things, missing.
Didn't ask, permission.
Wearing her clothes, silk panty hose.
Walking around in women's underwear.
Walking around in women's underwear.
Walking around in women's underwear......"
"Jingle Bells" is one of my favorite carols, probably my first favorite, in the sense that I was trying to sing it even before I could pronounce "jingle"...I kept singing "doo-wah", Mom says. I even like Barbra's version. I do still stand by my contention that that recording should be declared the official Christmas carol for the hyperactive.
I have another besides that annoying Feed The World song by Band Aid.
It is: anything by Manheim Steamroller
My oppologies to Rush Limbaugh because I know he like their music, but I H-A-T-E- Manheim Steamroller. I find their Christmas music very annoying. To me it's like dragging your nails across a chalk board.
Where I work, I hear so many bad renditions of Christmas songs, it is not funny. I am just glad that I do not know all of the performers. Among the more annoying ones are Celine Dion shouting, Ann Murray singing her consonants, (O commmmmme all ye faithful-a big no-no for anyone that has ever sung in any good choir) and some black performer (Whitney Houston perhaps?)shouting, grunting and howling like a sick coyote through several Christmas standards. Hearing butchered Christmas songs by serious performers only serves to point out the general lack of real talent in pop music today.
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm tellin you why...Santa Claus is DEAD!
My favorite!
Nothing like traditional Christmas carols sung by Jewish singers like Brbra or Neil Diamond!
The Chipmunks sing a very annoying Christmas song, and let's not forget about "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"! Those are my top two contenders for most annoying Christmas song.
About a 7 on the Yikes scale.
Best Christmas song ever?
What -- nobody's mentioned The Ventures' version of Sleigh Ride?
(ok, so it's my favorite... I'm sure somebody hates it...)
Thanks guys, thanks to this thread, I'm now humming non-stop "Simply Havin' A Wonderful Christmas Time".
I always thought the Dogs were better than the Nose.
