I heard a particularly awful one this afternoon: “We Need a Little Christmas”. I had my hands in dishwater and unfortunately couldn’t change the radio station without electrocuting myself, although the song was bad enough for me to consider the risk.

ARGGGGGH! You are right. It’s playing on a continuous tape right now. Terrible!

I agree, anything by the Beatles just doesn’t quite have the same authenticity as Bach.

Yo, Edwin from up on the Lake, the posts about regional songs reminds me of a Christmas parody song about the Cleveland Browns that was popular back when they were still the Kardiac Kids, help me out here, it was pretty pathetic, do you remember how it went?

I vaguely remember it, and it was a parody of the Twelve Days of Christmas, called the Twelve Days of a Browns Christmas.
Sorry, I do not have a copy of it…yes it was PRETTY lame. IF I hear it on the radio from the sports station, I will try to get the lyrics.
 
I just couldn’t resist this one… I taught it to my 7ty grade CCD class:D

** **The 12 Days of Christmas

In the Church “Christmas” refers to a twelve-day period that starts with Christmas day. This is where “The Twelve Days of Christmas” comes from. The world celebrates Christmas for twelve hours, but the Church celebrates it for twelve days because the gift of Christ is with us for twelve months of the year.

The 12 Days of Christmas – the song

When most people hear of “The 12 days of Christmas” they think of the song. This song had its origins as a teaching tool to instruct young people in the meaning and content of the Christian faith. From 1558 to 1829 Roman Catholics in England were not able to practice their faith openly so they had to find other ways to pass on their beliefs. The song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is one example of how they did it. “The 12 Days of Christmas” is in a sense an allegory. Each of the items in the song represents something of religious significance. The hidden meaning of each gift was designed to help young Christians learn their faith.

The song goes, "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me… "The “true love” represents God and the “me” who receives these presents is the Christian.

Is it 100.3 or 105.1?

I vote “I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas” as the absolute most annoying “Christmas” song ever. HATE it. Instant channel-changer.

100.3 - however they have the same playlist as 105.1, so who can tell the difference? 😃

I worked all day today. Heard “Hippopotamus” 3 times & "We need a little Christmas (my husband’s favorite ???) twice.

Why not start a log sheet and get back to us and let us know what the worst Christmas songs Detroit is playing.
 
Many many years ago… (many)… a nun in my elementary school found out I took tap lessons and I was made to tap a little thing at the Christmas music show while the rest of my first grade class sang “Little Drummer Boy”. I had to practice and practice after school while the nun instructed me, and I don’t rememmber her being a kind person at these sessions. I am not an outgoing person and was painfully shy at the time so being center stage was a nightmare to me.

Every time I hear this song now, I could cry, but not because it moves me, but of the awful memories it drags up. My family knows to turn it off if I’m in the room.
 
Apparently the “new” favorite around here is Elton John’s “Step Into Christmas.” Horrid tune, and insidious- I still have it stuck in my head. It’s bad enough that I’m considering listening to a Britney Spears song just to get rid of Sir Elton’s junk.

Also bad- Wham’s “Last Christmas”. And “The Chipmunk Song”. And Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. And “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”. Grrrrr…
 
Aw, man! This thread is killing me!

Yup, I hate Grandma Got Run Over and I’m no fan of the barking jingle bells.

But step off on You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch! That song rules!

And, I just want to say now, before somebody disses it: I like the Cartman from Southpark version of Oh Holy Night.

And, although it’s not a Christmas song, I like Adam Sandler’s Hannakah Song.

Okay, yeah, I admit to laughing so hard I almost drove off the road when I heard Cartman’s carol. And “The Hannukah Song” is a classic.
 
How about “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”? Makes me want to choke my own kids.
 
Lovin’ Little Drummer Boy, but I just heard it performed as a little jazzy number. :bigyikes:

How about “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”, the Jackson 5 version. Can’t we let it rest?

I am sure you are referring to the Carol of the Bells by Trans-Siberian Orchestra with the metal group Metalica. I find the song rather unique with a rougher edge to it. SInce the song is NOT a religious one, I don’t mind the ‘metal touch.’ Now if Away in a Manger was ‘rocked up’, then I would be furious! :mad:
 
“I’ll have a Blueueueue Christmas without you. Oo-oo-ee-oo!”

By the way, I saw Elvis at the mall dressed as Santa. Just thought you guys would want to know.

if you mean the song from Auntie Mame, I agree, the movie version has to be my all time top awful movie musical list, Bea Arthur as the Moon Lady, heaven help us.
 
I am going over to post this on Fatwas R Us

can we please ban all polyphonic sacred music originally written for choir and organ, now arranged and sung by any country and western artist (especially in latin, like Adeste Fidelis)

we must be listening to different radio stations. I gather these are not sung by Elvis, kenny G, or mannheim steamroller?

Am I the only one who abhors Manheim Steamroller?
I also hate Up On The Housetop when accompanied by hand gestures.

No.

I saw a “Tribute to Mannheim Steamroller” Christmas album at Wal-Mart last week. Why would anybody do that?
