The version of Jingle Bells you mentioned has been around since I was in first grade, at least. Matt Groening is from Oregon and Batman was popular on Channel 12 (which had the cartoons and Star Trek, too) so maybe that’s a local thing.The Simpsons have ruined Jingle Bells for me forevermore. “Jingle bells, Batman smells…Robin laid an egg…” Ugh!
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.
I agree, that’s got to be the worst.One song that is in my top ten least favorite Christmas Carols is “So this is Christmas” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. That one is a definate channel changer.
I feel the same way - I HATE Celine Dion’s rendition (just screaming, as far as I’m concerned), but I LOVE Josh Groban’s rendition.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).

It always makes me cry.Little Drummer Boy. All those parum pum pums drive me nuts.
I have mercifully been spared that one here in Oregon.My least favorite is Geographically specific.
The song is called “Christmas in the Northwest”
It is particularly loved by the Seattle radio outlets because it appeals to the areas “Seattlecentricism”.
Seattlecentric: adj
1. Relating to, measured from, or with respect to the center of Seattle.
2. Having Seattle as the center.
3. Centered or focused on Seattle or Seattle’s peoples, especially in relation to historical or cultural influence.
So, what do you expect from anybody who writes a song called “Imagine” that has the line: “Imagine there’s no Heaven… it’s easy if you try.”One song that is in my top ten least favorite Christmas Carols is “So this is Christmas” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. That one is a definate channel changer.
Franco-centric – centered in France, right?I have mercifully been spared that one here in Oregon.
(But then, we are decidedly **not **Seattle-centric… although it would beat Texas-centric or NewYork-centric or Franco-centric any day. It’s more charming coming from Seattle, somehow.)
When I lived near there, I was told SF was best referred to simply as “The City”… and do not allow your relatives to call it “Frisco”, even as a joke.Franco-centric – centered in France, right?
(I know… I know…)
Just please do not call my home town “Frisco.”

Hey Now…Elvis sings great… ( make that sang great) or is that sung well…you know what I mean.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.
we must be listening to different radio stations. I gather these are not sung by Elvis, kenny G, or mannheim steamroller?I don’t care for Walkin’ Round in Women’s Underwear.
On the other hand, Five Naked Ladies Dancing in the Window is an intriguing holiday song that I must admit a certain attraction to.
