I don't like "Blue Christmas." Not by anybody. I know, the Elvis version is a classic. But tear jerkers are not what I want to hear at Christmas. It's popular probably because, I understand, for those who are lonely anyway, Christmas time really makes them blue. Another so-called classic I don't care for is Orbison's "Pretty Paper."

I have to agree. I adore Elvis, but I have never liked the song Blue Christmas, even by him. And with all due respect to the late, multi-talented, and greatly missed Mel Blanc, the Porky Pig version should be wiped from the face of the planet. I would also nominate Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer and any version of the 12 Days of Christmas (I'd take Burl's Holly Jolly Christmas ANYTIME over the 12 Days).

If you think that's bad, listen to that tune by Willie Nelson.
