What holiday song do you wish would just 'go away'?

[Rhythm]

Me?! I'd vote that blasted crappy "Christmas Shoes" song out of existence.
I simply hate the schmaltzy stupidity of it...

I want to write an alternate or a follow-up to it, where the Dad, stupid enough to let his kid run around unsupervised in the cold on Christmas Eve, gets investigated by CPS, or arrested for Child Endangerment or something.

:puke:

1. i have to wonder just how many Christmas specials we have to have

featuring a grumpy, lonely person who is forced into leading a choir/adopting an orphan/dog/elderly person/ taking over a failing company/ taking over a classroom / missing a planned Hawaiian vacation to take some papers to be signed at a quaint Vermont inn etc who finds true love and the REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS!

[Rhythm]

4. Exactly as many 'too many' as there are out there... even one is too much

So tired of this formulaic drek... :eyes:

[MorningGlow]

2. Christmas Shoes for sure

and all incarnations of The LIttle Drummer Boy and Frosty the Snowman--as well as the Frosty TV special. Hate, hate, hate. x(

[Danger Mouse]

3. "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime"

The auditory equivalent of Paul McCartney kicking down your door, spitting in your mother's face, and giving you the middle finger.

[Rhythm]

14. Alot of McCartney's post-Beatles stuff is like that

I think there's a special room in purgatory, just for him.
Make him stay there and listen to them over and over until he pees himself and apologizes.

[Danger Mouse]

20. McCartney's huge ego would make it heaven for him.

Hell would be forcing him to listen to Harrison and Lennon's far superior solo work for all eternity.
I'll take Harrison's 'When We Was Fab' over ANYTHING McCartney did post-Beatles.

[Granny M]

21. That one gets my vote, every year.

Makes me want to stab myself in the ear.

[Danger Mouse]

22. There's a little known fact about this song.

McCartney came up with the melody for it by playing a synthesizer with his ass.

[Shell Beau]

5. I hate that one too!!

[BurtWorm]

6. Christmas sleighride, I think it's called.

But just about anyone will do.

:puke:

PS: I've been over Christmas for a very, very long time.

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. NOT this one!!

It should be played on the radio every 15 minutes, at least.

[XemaSab]

15. For real

n/t

[Danger Mouse]

19. Wow. That instantly shot up to my top 5 christmas songs.

:P

[bbernardini]

24. I MUST have that album. nt

[azmouse]

8. 'Merry Christmas Darling' by The Carpenters

:puke: That bleeping song seems to follow me around. I swear it's played in every store I enter over the holidays.

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

or whatever that stupid song is. Man, I hate that song.

[Mad_Dem_X]

10. There is only one answer:

THE CHRISTMAS SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. It's 'CHRISTMAS song,' you dogless commie!

Just because Mer'ka is about to have a Marksist Muslin in the Oval Office,* you do not have the freedom to hate Heebus or deny that this is a Christian Nation! :grr:









*Providing we can't keep him from being sworn in because he's not a Mer'kin citizen!

[Rhythm]

12. I want the kid from that "God's Will" song to find that little shoe-shopping brat

and beat him with his crutches or something.

:hide:

[Lyric]

23. Hey, you stole my punchline!

:rofl:

[Lucian]

13. Every fucking one of them.

[Arugula Latte]

25. Yep -- They pretty much all suck.

I think "O Holy Night" has a beautiful melody, though. Too bad I don't believe in the whole Jesus thing.

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. 95% of them?

But mostly "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree."

[FloridaJudy]

17. "Little Drummer Boy"

The earworm from hell. One of these days I'm gonna lose it, and fling a can of mincemeat through the nearest speaker screaming "Rum-tum-ta-ta-tum my ass!!!"

[Rhythm]

18. Yeah... great idea there, beating a drum when the poor woman's trying to get the kid to sleep

:eyes:

Least he's not out wandering around looking for shoes...

[Lyric]

26. All of them except for the caroling hymns like "O Holy Night"

I hate cheesy Christmas music. I love the beautiful choir hymns and songs, though.
