And now, here's a Christmas song that doesn't suck.

At least they had the decency to leave Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" out of the article.

All of it?

/sorry, just sick of Christmas music already

Mugato: All of it?



Yep.

All of it.

Not the one I posted.

I dislike whatever is playing in the stores, it's particularly crappy. It's like a vaccine that makes me hate all the christmas music and wish the season was over just so I can get back to hearing the bland stuff I almost don't hear them playing the rest of the year.

Some people I know hate the waitresses 'christmas wrapping'. It only gets me when it gets played in july

The only Christmas music worth listening to is anything by Trans-Siberian Orchestra or Dr. Demento, depending on one's mood.

I plan on listening to Onkel Tom Angelripper all christmas season.

Lead singer of Sodom singing Jingle Bells is better than any of the other crap out there.

/also, The Vandals

Every time I hear Feliz Navidad I want to stab someone.

This however, doesn't suck. (new window)

Came to say this.

^{/Sick of Christmas music for about 30 years now}

Best Christmas album from the past 10 years:

Silent Night Club - Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine

"Deck The Halls"

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!

Dunk us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof, woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, goof, goof!

Confabulat: When did that Wham song make it into the rotation?

I actually like "Last Christmas" by Wham!

/just sayin'

That's actually a cover.. I get to hear the original at work. Don't know who those ladies are, but it sounds like something from the 1940's.

From Wikipedia: "Last Christmas" is a song by British pop duo Wham!, released on Epic Records in 1984, on a double A-side with "Everything She Wants". It was written by George Michael, one half of the duo. The song has been covered by many artists throughout the years.

Odd. I don't have a way to find out who sings the version I'm stuck with, but it sounds like something from WWII to me..

Please do - I would love to hear it.

funny song that would never make this list (new window)



nice new song that should not be on the list (new window)

Was this one excluded from list? (new window)

Another Christmas Song - Jethro Tull

Also, Silence is All from the the Doctor Who A Christmas Carol Special

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: At least they had the decency to leave Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" out of the article.

That abomination makes me all kinds of stabby

velvet_fog: This it? The Puppini Sisters version of "Last Christmas": Link (new window). Still a shiat song.

The Puppini sisters are talented, but I hate whoever their arranger is.

I cannot listen to that song without wanting to kill whoever didn't notice how horrible the synth sounds in the choruses.

Okay, as a duly appointed representative of the Christmas Music consortium, I must now put out the rules for Christmas music.

1. NO MANNHEIM!!
2. It doesn't matter what style you do it in, Twelve Days of Christmas is still gonna suck.
3. Christmas music can be played to death between Black Friday and Christmas. Anytime out of that window and the Christmas Music consortium take no responsibility for people hating/hitting you.
4. If you're going to cover an old Christmas song, make sure we can still recognize it.
5. "Butterfly Kisses" sucked. No need to rename it "Christmas Shoes" for the holidays.
6. I don't care if you want to fark during the holidays, there is no need for doing so to Christmas Slow Jamz.
7. Never, ever half-ass your original Christmas music. Everyone can smell it from a mile away if you do.
8. Did i mention...NO MANNHEIM!!
9. Radio stations: There are hundreds of Christmas songs out there, and at the low end, there's at least five or six hours' worth of "standard" songs you can go through without repeating a song. So we don't need to hear the same song ten times a day, by the same artist.
10. Parodies? No. Don't go there. Ever. No. I mean it. No.
11. Because it can't be said enough: NO GODDAMNED MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER EVER!!!

That is all.

shivashakti: I can't decide which I dislike more: "Christmas Shoes" or "Dominick the Donkey"

I am extremely fortunate that I have not knowingly heard either of these.

/I have, however, heard "Mary, Did You Know?" which is pretty damn bad.

Alphax: 'Baby It's Cold Outside'.

How is that even a Christmas song? Just because it takes place when it's snowing?

I also understand that "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" is considered a Christmas song now.

/if that's how it is, then I nominate "In the Grip Of Winter" by Autopsy
