worst Xmass song ?

[olddots]

"I'm dreaming of a WHITE Chrstmass.............they all suck but that one is over the top .

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. Any from recent pop stars played endlessly in stores!

[valerief]

2. Definitely this abomination. Ugh! Drives me insane.

[onager]

7. Then here's an early Xmas gift for you!

"The Annoying Drummer Boy." No shit. Of all the stupid holiday songs ever written, "Little Dumber Boy" takes the (90-year-old fruit) cake.

It makes even less sense than most Xmas songs, which is saying a lot. How do you soothe a newborn infant to sleep? By banging on a drum, naturally. I always imagine Mary saying: "Hit that fucking drum one more time, you little shit, and I'm going to shove it where the Xmas Star don't shine."

8. Funny, but the Faith Hill clip is more annoying! nt

[progressoid]

37. This version by the Cranberries is pretty awful too.

[progressoid]

36. As a former drummer, I approve of this!

[Warpy]

3. The foul mouthed knitters have a contest going

The aim is to survive the month between Thanksgiving and Xmas without hearing a Song that Shall Not Be Named about a diminutive percussionist that consensus has as the most annoying Xmas song of a whole raft of annoying Xmas songs.

Last year I was knocked out by an otherwise decent and godless comedy rerun, parumpapumFUCK.

[OriginalGeek]

41. I'm just happy to live in a universe

Where there is a group of foul mouthed knitters.

That seriously makes me happy.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. In terms of annoying earworm category, I would go with "jingle bell rock", bonus points if sung by

the Chipmunks.

Also in recent years Mariah Carey's "All I waaaAAAAAAAaaaant for ChristmaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAaaas, Is Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"



for ye olde creepiness factor, I would have to say "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus".

[Warpy]

5. The ickily coy golddigger song, "Santa Baby" is down there, too

It's universally vile, no matter who is singing it.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I'm fortunate in that I rarely encounter situations where I'm forced to listen to any music I don't

want to, these days.

[Warpy]

10. Alas, even though I mostly eat out of the freezer this time of year

I must go forage for perishables once in a while. One market has a Spanish playlist. The other has no playlist, just lovely silence punctuated by the thump of carts with square wheels.

[Arugula Latte]

23. I don't know, I heard a French version being played in a store recently

and I have to admit I kind of liked it.

[classof56]

9. I'd vote for "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Totally annoying to these old ears! At least, however, there's no drummer boy, manger, wise men, shephers or angels. I kinda like that part.

Tired Old Cynic

[SusanCalvin]

25. I almost decided to go for this instead of Drummer Boy, but

At least Grandma knows it's a stupid song. Drummer Boy wants to be taken seriously.

[PassingFair]

27. Drummer Boy by a mile.

I can't bear to HEAR it, let alone SING it.

is RIGHT!....

On the positive side, I DO like "The Holly and the Ivy"

[SusanCalvin]

28. Me too. nt

[classof56]

29. I share your nausea.

Can't believe the drummer boy is still drumming. Ugh!

I recently learned about the Mourning Moon and what it means. Tossed all my troubles its way night before last. Not a Wiccan, but was touched by the beauty of the gesture.

Pleasant and peaceful holidays to you and yours!

[SusanCalvin]

30. Same to you.

That's pretty neat about the Mourning Moon. Sorry I missed it - hopefully I'll be around for it next year.

[olddots]

11. I saw mommy kissing Santa Klaus

and Silent Night it is a conspiracy .

[Cartoonist]

12. 12 days of monotony

Repetitious and ridiculous. It can't even be satirized. Any attempt falls into the same trap.


As for the little drummer, I like the version by Vince Guaraldi. No vocals helps.

[SusanCalvin]

26. I don't play any Xmas music with the words.

All mine is jazz or rock instrumentals of the upbeat stuff.

[pokerfan]

13. Santa Claus is coming to Town

Creepy stalker lyrics.

[sakabatou]

24. I got something that might cheer people up and make 'em laugh

[Iggo]

33. I like that one because it bolsters the No Santa/No God argument.

[Ron Obvious]

14. Seeing as that little drumming fucker has been mentioned already...

... let me submit Simply a Wonderful (*spit! ptui!*) Christmas time by Paul McCartney.

No, I'm not going to link it.

[onager]

16. Ugh. ISIS probably uses that one to torture prisoners.

A few hours of Sir Paul warbling along with that annoying synth, and I'd be BEGGING them to behead me.

Though this one certainly qualifies as a crime against humanity under the Geneva Convention, I'm not posting a link to the horror that is "The Christmas Shoes." Anyone who's never been bludgeoned by it yet can go find it on their own.

[Ron Obvious]

17. Me too....

Some songs can only be made bearable by making up alternate lyrics....

"I stove his skull in, a-rum-pum-pum-pum..."

[beam me up scottie]

15. Anything done by a country music "artist".

[onager]

19. Country gave us an anti-Xmas song, sort of...

Xmas? FTS, I got laid off, can't buy my kid any presents, and the only hope I have is moving to a warmer place. Where I'll still be broke and unemployed. Recorded in 1973 and IMO even more relevant with the financial disasters of the past few years...

18. I live near Worcester, MA.

Any Christmas song that has the word "snow" in it is particularly awful after last winter, but yes, I agree with you that one is the worst. Believe me, no one here wants to dream of a white Christmas. If we did dream of that we'd probably wake up screaming.

[edhopper]

20. Since, as Lewis Black put it

Thanksgiving is now Xmas Part 1. I can not get away from Xmas songs in every fucking store i go into.
And it seems like there are only 12 songs played over and over.
I have to say, while some of the winter, secular songs are very annoying, the religious ones are nauseating.
So much pomposity about a ridiculous, mythological birth.

[Cartoonist]

21. I hear you

Here Is Joy For Every Age
O Come All Ye Faithful
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
O Come Let Us Adore Him
Hymn for Christmas Day
O Holy Night

[onager]

22. My annual contribution, since you reminded me...

Heard it many times and it STILL cracks me up.

The singer was accused of being an atheist mocking Xians and Xmas. In fact, he's a very devout guy trying to teach his fellow Xians a lesson: if you can't sing this difficult song, just STFU. No matter how pious it makes you feel, getting up in front of the whole church and showing off:

[Jokerman]

31. It depends on the version of White Christmas

It's a mostly secular song with no mention of gawd or jebus.

My current favorite holiday song is this version by the Drifters:

The kicker is that I HATE snow and would much rather be listening to it on the beach.

For the worst song I'd have to pick Little Drummer Boy or that damn dog version of Jingle Bells.

[edhopper]

32. I was in as store today

and they were playing "Do you hear what I hear".
Made me physically ill.

[Act_of_Reparation]

34. Pretty much all of them.

There are a few gems here and there, but most Christmas songs are popular music in the worst possible way. Derivative, emotionless, safe, and inoffensive - there's nothing compelling or interesting about them. The perfect background noise for an afternoon at Sears.

Fuck that shit.

[progressoid]

35. Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney

I can stand most Christmas songs (even like a handful), but this one makes me change the channel fast!

I won't even bother posting a youtube of it.

[onager]

38. "Carol of the Bells" by Mannheim Steamroller

All Xmas music would sound like this, if the Nazis had won World War II...

[awoke_in_2003]

40. Fucking Mannheim Steamroller

I always think of Nazis when I hear those douches. It is no wonder Limpballs likes them.

[Warren Stupidity]

39. So this is Christmas. John Lennon.

Hideous by repetition.

[OriginalGeek]

42. with a few exceptions (Drummer puke to be exact)

I like christmas music. Especially the classical stuff - Pachelbel, Vivaldi, The Nutcracker suite, etc...

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was a fun show (founded by guys from traditional metal band Savatage).

I imagine it's more nostalgia than anything. Happier times from before Mom and Dad got divorced and she went bat-shit right wing religious crazy. I like the Santa Clausy ones better than the Jesusy ones but I don't hate all the jesusy ones lol.


But I'll happily shit-talk about the little drummer asshole.

[olddots]

43. Chest hairs roasting on an open fire ...........

Whats up with that ? and don't forget Oh holy night .
