What holiday song do you utterly despise, regardless of who performs it?

[blondeatlast]

For me, it's "The Little Drummer Boy."

Even when I was a tot, I couldn't stand the song.

[LostinVA]

1. That horrible Paul McCartney song -- Wonderful Xmastime or whatever

HATE.

[NMMNG]

4. Agreed

I also despise "Santa Baby", particularly the way Madonna performs it in that half child/half tart way she does.

[blondeatlast]

12. Agreed--except I heard a cover of it and it is actually marginally better

than Paul's.

OTOH, it could hardly be worse, could it?!

[LostinVA]

14. I think nothing could be worse than McCartney's version

It almost drives me mad -- it's like hearing GWB speak.

Who's done the cover?

[blondeatlast]

15. I heard it on a store's piped in music. It had a very slight reggae feel

but still very pop-py. I wish I knew who it was; the song still sucked, but the version was tolerable at least!

3. I hate that song with the burning intensity of a super nova.

Did I mention that I think it's sucky?

[femmocrat]

5. I don't know the name of it, maybe "This Christmas"???

It doesn't seem to have a melody, or something.... and I hate the "shake a hand, shake a hand" part.

Is that a new song? I have only heard it the past few years.

[skygazer]

6. I saw Mommy kissing santa claus

I despise that fucking song in all its incarnations.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. That's the one!

"The Little Drummer Boy" -- Blaghh! Yuk! :puke:

It has been arranged in a thousand different ways and they're all awful.

[Kali]

20. Even joan Baez?

[Raine]

8. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

:puke: that arsine song will run thru my head for days if I hear it. :cry:

[Kali]

19. It was funny that first time and NEVER again.

[HuffleClaw]

9. 'Santa Baby'

makes my skin crawl.

[blondeatlast]

16. I LOVE Eartha Kitt's version, but the Madonna one makes my skin crawl and

the one on the Victoria's Secret commercial is "Head? Meet brick wall" time.

[Danger Mouse]

10. Paul McCartney's assfest wins.

Pretty much everything he did after the Beatles sucks HARD. Except for 'Live and Let Die.'
I also hate 'Silver Bells.'

[MrSlayer]

11. Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

Hate, Hate, Hate!!!

[BuelahWitch]

13. Jingle Bell Rock

I worked retail overnights one year and had to listen to that damn song over and over and over again.
Paul McCartney's is a close second though.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I'm not a huge fan of the 'Christmas Song', that chestnuts roasting over

an open fire one.

Most others I can take or leave.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. XM has five holiday music channels this year

and some of them are WEIRD!!!


Last night I heard the bass line to "You Really Got Me" and the vocals to "little drummer boy" and then "Girl, you really got me now, you got me what I really wanted..."


WEIRD!!!

[MountainLaurel]

21. O Holy Night

Because every time I hear it, I visualize and hear this woman who sang it solo in our church every year when I was a kid. You know, that horrendous soprano that mediocre singers who think they're Beverly Sills use?

[Archae]

22. If you can stand it, *THE* worst version of "Little Drummer Boy."

By Joan Jett. :wow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMSiSK-C9xk

Mannheim Steamroller does it pretty good though.

My nominee for worst no matter who does it, "Away In A Manger."

[MichiganVote]

23. Burl Ives It's A Holly Jolly Christmas, sick, sick, sick

[Radio_Lady]

24. Alvin and the Chipmunks singing anything...

I married a guy with that first name and he had to change it.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Definitely "Little Dummer Boy."

:argh:

ONLY the Bowie-Crosby version is tolerable.
