    What's that song about the two high school sweethearts meeting up in a store and then getting drunk in a car before she drives off? That one is right up there with Christmas Shoes.

    That just sounds like a lovely song....

    Yeah...that one! I HATE it! my mom used to LOVE it and I remember one time going to the grocery store with her and it came on the radio and we sat in the car while she listened/sang it...I love my mom but that was torture!

    Madonna's version of Santa Baby annoys the piss out of me!
    Eartha Kitt's is the only version of that song, as far as I'm concerned. purrrrrrrr
  • It's the little St. Nick , by the Beach Boys...........E YUCK!
  • Chipmunks Christmas song
    and me I want a hula hoop

    I want a hula hoop too!!!

    when I was a kid I actually added a hula hoop to my christmas list based mostly on Alvin's recommendation.

    I thought of/agree with several more:

    1) Eurythmics version of "Winter Wonderland" (the beginning part is just creepy sounding to me)
    2) "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" (I think most kids would be more traumatized by thinking their mom was cheating on their dad, and there's no way to explain that away without telling the truth about Santa, which is sad)
    3) "Santa, Baby" (nothing says "Merry Christmas" like demands for expensive gifts in exchange for implied sexual favours!)

    I will say though, that, with the exception of the occasional bad cover, I can't seem to get tired of "Last Christmas." Given time and plenty of repitition I'm sure I will, but until then, I'll enjoy it. But then again, I kind of love Wham! in a way that even I don't understand...

    (You'd never guess it, but I actually LOVE Christmas...)

    Do you remember the name of it? I've got to find it on youtube. It is so dreadful and my husband does not believe me that it's a Christmas song.

    I don't think it's that bad.

    I have quite a weakness for terrible Christmas songs - I got some really cheap CDs with novelty songs from the 1950's which I quite enjoy. "Christmas in Killarney" anyone? I love the old crooners... But I don't like the cartoony ones like "Snoopy's Christmas" or the Chipmunks etc.

    By the way, I don't think anyone needs Michael Buble - just get a cheap Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin CD and you're done! (I love Dean Martin "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" when he's obviously plastered and switching some of the lyrics. Great days we won't see again!)
    Love this response! I LOVE the Crooners. My fave is White Christmas by Bing.

    "do they know it's christmas"

    THESE lyrics. "Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you"

    That line always made me shake my head too. Seriously, what the ...

    step #1 - google Yorgi Yorgesson...

    step #2 - listen to "Yingle Bells" and "I yust go nuts at Christmas"

    step #3 - watch your ears bleed

    Haha! I grew up listening to Yorgi - thanks grandpa. It's such a part of my Christmas traditions I would really miss it if it weren't playing. However, if I were subjected at this late age, I would probably really hate it. LOL

    For my Seattle peeps out there, you know what I'm talkin' about: "Christmas in the Northwest" is the cheesiest, crappiest, smarmiest Christmas song out there. BARF!!!

    Simply Having a wonderful Christmas time...UGH
    This makes my ears bleed...

    Also, this.

    ugggggggh, i have so much hatred for that song. i love sir paul otherwise, but... that is seriously a terrible song. it's like he HAD to make a christmas song, so he pulled that out of his *kitten* in 20 minutes and expected people to ignore how bad it is because of who he is.

    How could I forget to add. One of the worst Christmas songs ever:

    Wizzard's "I Wish it Could Be Christmas Everyday."

    With an amazingly creepy, horribly lip-synched perfomance to go with it, resplendent with apathetic children: http://youtu.be/ZoxQ4Ul_DME

    it's what they call "a slice of life"! it doesn't really have to mean anything, it's like... "here's something that happened, the end"

    Not that I have any real love for this song but you are misunderstanding that line. The point being made is that we frequently turn a blind eye to the suffering around us and are content with being thankful it isn't us or our loved ones suffering.
    I have other reasons that song rubs me the wrong way.

    This one gets on my nerves so much: "And there won't be snow in Africa this christmas time" Uh....as someone who was born in Africa, don't they know it's SUMMER there????? Seriously, my family celebrates the holiday with pool parties and barbeques around the lake.......It was 30C - which is about 86F yesterday my grandmother told me this morning.......LOL

    It's such a terrible song.....

    My Husband's worst song is Dominic the Donkey.......

    Feliz Navidad and The Christmas Shoes

    When I was little, I thought Feliz Navidad was "Police Love Your Dad". I didn't understand what that had to do with having a merry Christmas, but figured t wasn't my place to judge.

    I understand it perfectly. It's a painfully obvious and contrite throw-away line.
