Puzzleannie started a thread for your favorites, now what are your LEAST favorite Christmas songs.

You know, the ones that you get tired of BEFORE Christmas or ones that make you SHUT OFF the radio or change the station every time the song comes on.

Mine:
Any Christmas song that has heavy metal or rap in it. :eek: :eek:

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
The Jingle Dogs…Jingle Bells

there will be more…to be continued.

Santa Baby especially the one sung by Madonna:eek:

But it was great years ago when sung by Ertha Kitt.
 
Pretty much all secular ones. Santa Baby as mentioned, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Joy To The World (My Teachers Dead) song parody, etc.
 
I don’t like most Christmas song parodies or remakes. The one that makes me the maddest, though, is when Destiny’s Child sings “Carol of the Bells.” I don’t know why, I guess I just don’t think that’s a “diva” song.

However, I can’t be a Scrooge and hate all Christmas song parodies. I heard the funniest one on a ride home from Midnight Mass on Christmas that made me laugh until I fell asleep. It was “The 12 Days of Christmas”, and the guys were so drunk they couldn’t find words to fit in to the syllables and the rhythm.
 
Edwin, I’m with you in hating Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. I find nothing amusing or likeable about that atrocious recording.

Also, as mentioned, **Santa Baby **(shiver, gag, it just seems so sleezy), I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and any other stupid song.
 
Some newer songs that don’t don’t sound Christmassy at all. They want to make you believe they’re Christmas song by repeating the word Christmas over and over again during the singing.
 
“God came down on Christmas day…he said Oi to the punks Oi to the skins Oi to the world and ever’body init” as performed by Gwen Stefani and gang. I don’t know why, but she sounds so self-righteous singing it, it irritates me. Although it has a good beat and you can dance to it.
 
I never realized there was so much dislike for Santa, Baby. I find the song to be great fun.
 
I love Eartha Kitt’s rendition of “Santa Baby” – just downloaded it through iTunes (i.e., PAID for it) a couple of days ago.

Having been a professional musician years ago, I did a lot of holiday gigs, most of them in secular venues, so I know just about every secular holiday song there is. In my mind I separate sacred from secular, so the secular songs don’t bother me much, and some of them I quite like.

I don’t like “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” I don’t like most renditions of “O Holy Night,” but I LOVE the song itself. It’s a difficult song to perform well, and most people tend to get the measures wrong (they add a measure before each verse).

GGROBAR certainly tops the list, but the reason I will turn off the radio, even and especially the Christian station, until Dec. 26, is the “arrangements” of sacred hymns by rock and country singers (including Christian singers who work in those styles). O Holy Night has to be the most butchered hymn in history. It is one of my favorites, andwhat these eletronically enhanced untrained voices do to it is pathetic.Elvis singing anything is also dreadful.

Elvis singing the alphabet would apply too.
 
I heard one yesterday called “Fall Softly, Snow,” or some such.

Insipid drivel.
 
“Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” is one sucky song.
 
For me it’s Jingle Bell Rock. I had to square dance to it in 5th grade. Hated it ever since.
 
That one where Jingle Bells is sung like the person is on speed… really really fast.
 
I absolutely LOATHE “A Wonderful Christmas Time,” by Paul McCartney. My whole family knows it, so when my brother hears it on the radio he calls my cell phone and puts his next to the speaker and then he can hear me yell “NOOOOOOO!!!” Then I hang up on him. My brother just loves to annoy his lil sis.
 
I’m jealous, Ed, nobody is responding to “Favorites” because yours is more fun.

how about people who sing along with the Halleluiah chorus from the Messiah, but don’t know the parts or the words.
