Has anyone else seen the video for “O Come All Ye Faithful” (one of my favorite Christmas songs), sung by Twisted Sister? Yes, they are in full metal hair and make up. IT almost ruined Christmas for me. My brother thought it was funny and sent me a link to the video on YouTube. Yikes!
 
A friend of mine was telling me Dwight Yoakum has one on a recent Christmas CD. She thought it was called something like “Santa Has to Go.” It’s about a child who gets up on Christmas morning, sees the cookies haven’t been eaten then hears his mother arguing with Santa and throwing him out – then Santa comes back to beat up the mother’s new boyfriend.

I’ve never heard this one – and I hope I never do. :bigyikes:

I agree!:bigyikes: :bigyikes:
 
Every year I vote for the Hippopotamus song. I might be willing to pay money to never hear that song again.

On the other hand, I find the “Dominic, the Italian Christmas Donkey” song to be amusing. I think it’s because it’s just over-the-top bizarre.
 
My least favorites are not even on the list:

Dan Fogelberg “Same Old Lang Syne” I don’t know why they even play this one.

Wham! “Last Christmas”

Eagles “Please Come Home For Christmas”

All of those make my ears bleed.

And, if I hear “Christmas Shoes” one more time this year, there’s gonna be a car stereo lying on the freeway. Great sentiment, horribly overplayed, tired song.

I see all these references to “Christmas Shoes,” and I’ve never even heard of it. I guess I can consider myself lucky!
 
I just heard a version of Jingle Bells that was entirely made up of someone laughing. I have heard it with the barking dogs, chickens, and other annoying repetetive sounds. That sort of thing should be abolished.

I don’t even let the kids watch Sesame Street any more because I might have to hear Elmo say, “Okay, everybody let’s sing the ‘whatever’ song!” To the tune of Jingle Bells: Whatever. whatever. Wha-at e-ever.
The potato song: Potato. Potato. Po-ota-ato
The TV song: Tee-eevee tee-eeve tee-ee-ee-ee-vee

It’s almost enough to turn me off of Jingle Bells altogether.

Yes. Yes you can. It is the most horrendously vomit-inducing piece of **** ever the grace the airwaves.

Seriously.

I don’t know where all these people are that make it so popular (popular enough to inspire a TV movie!), but everyone I’ve ever met who’s heard it positively froths at the mouth when it’s mentioned.

(The gist of the song is this guy is standing on line to pay for something, and the kid in front of him is trying to buy shoes for his dying mother, and the guy is overcome with remorse for… I don’t know. Forgetting the meaning of the season, or something. I usually block it out by that point.)

And on a note unrelated to all of the above, I like the hippo song. Just… not enough to listen to all the time. It’s obscure enough that I hardly ever hear it, which is probably why I still like it. 😃
 
I didn’t even know Madonna remade the Santa Baby song.

I voted for it, though, because I can’t stand the original, or any reincarnations of it.
 
I just heard “Walkin’ Round in Women’s Underwear”. :rotfl:
Maybe my sense of humor doesn’t jive with most folks here but I think songs like that are funny. The traditional songs get old REAL fast and it’s nice to get a break from them.
My all-time favorite secular Christmas song is “I’m dreaming of a white trash Christmas”.
In all seriousness though, I love Alabama and the Oak Ridge Boys! Ever heard Alabama’s song “Joseph and Mary’s Boy?” It’s my favorite Christmas song of all time!!! 😃
 
I could live without any of them. But my wierd sense of humor will allow limited parodies. Never heard Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire, but it couldn’t be worse that the originals’ “Christmas songs”.
However, since my son loves hippos, gotta allow it.
The Little Drummerboy is very tiring, but I do like it as recorded by the late Johnny Cash.
 
The one I least like is Frosty the Snow Man. I don’t think it is good music, and is the furthest one from Christmas as a religious holiday to me. Not that there is any harm if you enjoy it.
 
I’m already at my wits end with the bad songs.
One more Hippo Crhistmas song and the hippo will be served on christmas!:rolleyes:

I can almost stomach most of these. But please, PLEASE delivery me from rap or hiphop “Christmas” stuff.:banghead:

I totally agree. With the exception of a few tastefully done remakes like the BNL and Sarah MacLachlan version of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” ANY attempt to redo a classic as pop, or, god forbid, rap, is just PAINFUL. As are sappy songs like Christmas Shoes. And then original ‘contemporary’ Xmas rap or other songs that are supposed to be funny are just lame and obnoxious.

My friend’s mom cries every time she hears it. I’m like how does that move you?
 
Surprisingly, I haven’t heard all these songs this year, but *Santa Baby *(actually any version!) grates on my nerves. Maybe because when I was little, we’d go to a family party on Christmas Eve, and all the kids were just “gimme, gimme, gimme”. *Santa Baby *certainly is a reminder of those days!
 
Anything (secular or religious) sung in English by the Three Tenors.

“Aaaaaahyeell be hoooooooma for Chreeeees’maaaaaas…
Pleeeeez hava snoooooow and miss-lee toooo…
Eef oooonleeee eeeeen maaaayeee dreeeeeems.”

gagging again
