For me it’s Jingle Bell Rock. I had to square dance to it in 5th grade. Hated it ever since.

For some reason, this song has always made me shudder

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

So that’s where he’s hiding now! Last I heard, it was the Burger King in Kalamazoo.

Oh, and it’s confirmed: Band-Aid 20 has re-recorded “Do They Know It’s Christmas” and my sources (the local radio station) tell me it is at the top of the UK charts. Lord help us all. It’s nice that the profits are going to the Sudanese refugees, but couldn’t they spare us the noise pollution and take up a collection instead?

I HATE The Christmas Song! Those stupid chestnuts roasting incessantly. And since there’s like a billion versions the radio stations can feed it to us over and over and over.
Jingle Bells is right behind it.

As for the folks who love O Holy Night, but not the versions you can usually hear on the radio, you must get a copy of Josh Groban singing it. He has the most beautiful voice I think I’ve ever heard and he’s only twenty something. It’s amazing.
 
RIght about now, White Christmas is getting on my nerves. The ONLY version that I can stand is the original Bing Crosby version. Just about everyone elses plays on my nerves.
 
Ever hear the recording of dogs barking to the tune of “Jingle Bells”? That’s got to be the worst.
I also hate any so called “Christmas” song played on the Muzak of the J.C. Penney store in North Riverside Mall, North Riverside, Illinois.

Just a bit of trivia…
The “Jingle Bells” song was written here in MA, I think Chelmsford… in the 1850’s…they had a thingy on it on TV last week…actually a marethon on singing carols…I wonder how many times they sang that song…:eek: Annunciata:D
 
Instant channel changers:

Wham’s “Last Christmas”.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.

“I Need A Little Christmas” by anybody.

Anything acapella by any boy group.

The obnoxious fast “Jingle Bells” someone mentioned is by Barbara Striesand. Figures.

That one by the Beach Boys where the guy takes his little brother to see Santa.

Any sappy country song with a story aimed at tugging your heart strings. Heartburn is more like it.

Any “Rudolph” version where some kid yells “like a light bulb” or whatever during the song.

I’m afraid this topic brings out the curmudgeon in me. 🙂
 
I don’t know if it is really a Christmas song… But that song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” I heard it sung by Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton… Talk about an odd couple. All my friend and I could do was laugh.
 
worst of all is these little electronic Christmas decorations that play tinny electronic sounding carols incessently. There were 3 at the Walgreens checkout, the checker says she will probably have to be committed by the end of the week, the noise is driving her nuts.

at the dollar store they have musical Christmas cards in a box by the register, and a child industriously punch each one while his mother paid for her purchases, so we had 10 or 12 going at once playing different tunes. If I worked there anad had to listen to that all day I would turn Muslim so fast it would make your head spin.
 
I can’t stand “Rudolf the red-nosed raindeer”, it must the only one I absolutly can’t stand!

Oh, plenty o’ people wretch at the sound of Mannheim Steamroller AND their ugly stepchild, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They just put a hurt on my ears.

How about Feliz Navidad? A song with ONE verse…

sung over…

USA for Africa “do they know its Christmas” -
ahem, I hate that song for one reason, it makes no sense.

“there’ll be no snow in Africa this Christmastime” - I hear that and think to myself EVERYTIME “of course there won’t be, it’s Africa. there isn’t EVER any snow there. it’s a gosh-dang desert.”

that line has driven me nuts for 20 years.

Actually, it’s by Band-Aid. (USA for Africa was “We Are the World”.)

See my post above- someone has had the “brilliant” idea to pollute the airwaves with Band-Aid 20’s special 20th anniversary recording of “Do They Know It’s Christmas”. Grrr…
 
Personally, I simply cannot stand Feliz Navidad. Just grates on my nerves something terrible.

I am married to a Puerto Rican woman and to disparange this song is to disparange Jose Feliciano and the entire Puerto Rican culture. Which is why I take great delight in watching her turn colors and gyrate in her seat when the song comes on and I IMMEDIATELY turn the radio to the hard rock station and announce “Enough of that ****, let’s play some metal!”
 
Rodulph the rednose reindeer

frosty the snowman
grandma got run over by a reindeer…etc.

I’ve never been christian (until recently) but I’ve always thought that christmas music should be about christmas, not a blinking reindeer or a magic snowman.
