What is your least favorite Christmas song?

shellbell3845 · December 2014

Brought to you by about six of my least favorite holiday songs in a row on Holly Holiday on XM.

Whatcha got?

shellbell3845 · December 2014

For me, it's a toss up between Dominic the Donkey and Do They Know It's Christmastime At All (or whatever the title is. Feed the world...but only the Christmas celebraters?)

ShePersisted · December 2014

White Christmas - Frank Sinatra...hate it!

shellbell3845 · December 2014

Can anyone tell me why My Favorite Things is a Christmas song?

Oh I hate Dominic the Donkey too and Sirius LOVES to play it

All the damn time, including to work and from work.

Also, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas would be better if it was faster. And without vibrato.

shellbell3845 · December 2014

It's possible @elf828‌ and I are Sirius twinsies

shellbell3845 · December 2014

I refuse Christmas Shoes. I won't.

I hate Frosty the Snowman. Something about it

Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Santa's got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer cannot,
Climb the hills of Italy.

WAIT

There are two versions of Do They Know It's Christmas?

Karlamo · December 2014

OMG, Santa Claus is Coming to Town! Kills me every time. I don't care who sings it or what version but just make it stop.

UO I love Domenic the Donkey :x

fftc? That doesn't shock me. I think it's because I perceive kindergarten teachers to like that cutesy, novelty stuff. (not knocking you, k teachers, or cutesy stuff...just this image I have in my head, especially after working with a variety of k teachers).

Christmas shoes for Mama (or whatever) can suck it. That song was made by devils.

I have a sing-a-long DVD of Christmas movie songs (Rudolph, Santa Claus is coming to town, etc), and The Little Drummer Boy is on there. I showed it to some kids -- Kindergarten or 1st grade -- about four years ago. One little boy turned around to me and said "This isn't about Christmas! It's about Jesus being born!" Okay kid.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart. Is that the actual name of that song? Whatever it's called, I hate it.
Well maybe if you drank all the Christmas beer on a Santa Pub crawl and made up dance moves to this song you wouldn't hate it so much. #lifebeforebabies

Uh we're going to need to see video footage.

iwubrory · December 2014

1. I cannot stand Santa Baby(Madonna can suck it) but I love love love Baby It's Cold Outside.

2. I wasn't a fan of Little Drummer Boy until I heard a cool internet version of it last year and now I even like the regular version.

3. I super love NSYNC's Christmas album. I actually have two copies of it because one year I thought I lost my copy so I had to run out and get another.

@Shellbell3845 Have you checked out XM Holiday Traditions? I just looked it up and it's channel 73. I haven't made it to either XM Christmas channel yet because I listen to talk radio on the way to work and Dave Ramsey on the way home. :-B I'll be making the jump tomorrow morning though.

How have I never heard Christmas Shoes? Maybe I blocked it out.

There's a song about a chick who sees Santa on vacation at the beach. I can't even be bothered to figure out the name, I hate it so much.

I don't think I know this Christmas Shoe song either. Is it actually called Christmas Shoes?

Btw, I can't believe I forgot to say that I also really hate Feliz Navidad. %-(

Maybe this should be a separate post, but I remember being shocked when I heard about it on my other BMB... but do you guys sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus on Christmas?

No.

But apparently one year when I was very young, I insisted my mother bake Jesus a birthday cake and that we all sing happy birthday.

btrebus · December 2014

Same Old Lang Syne- That song drives me bananas
Christmas Shoes- although I haven't heard it yet this year (thank god)

I have been listening to christmas music since Nov 13- I really want some NSYNC Christmas in my life.

Ibliss · December 2014

I hate Do You Hear what I Hear? I think that's the title. It's so repetitive.

RondackHiker · December 2014

Baby it's cold outside: singing about rape isn't fun times for me

Don't they know it's Christmas: so condescending and offensive

Christmas shoes and One last Christmas: singing about dying moms or kids just doesn't put me in the Christmas spirit. It destroys me.

I'm sorry. You're wrong. That's the best Christmas song.
Only if Whitney is singing it. Kind of like how The Little Drummer Boy is only acceptable if Bob Seger is singing it.

::gasp:: What?! Elf, you didn't listen to the link I posted, did you?

Haha, this is funny.

UO: I think it's ridiculous to go the sexual assault route with Baby It's Cold Outside. Why can't it just be taken in the flirty tone that it was written in. Have that many people never been talked or tried to talk a boyfriend/girlfriend into staying the night?

I was thinking the same thing. I love that song, and I've always taken it as the girl really wants to stay but doesn't want to look bad (because 1950s).

- It's a Marshmallow World - except it's cute that the kids in the Target commercial sing it

- Same Old Lang Syne - I hate that Dan Fogelberg

- Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - snorefest

- Baby It's Cold Outside - no means no

Lol on page one...but legit lol at "no means no"

Eta-not laughing at the concept of the song, I actually never truly listened to the lyrics until I just read them here.

Soap1 · December 2014

I also hate Christmas Shoes, but not because it makes me cry. Because it's a stupid gimmick written for the sole purpose of trying to make people cry. Get out of my face. I never cry at stupid gimmicks.

I hate My Grownup Christmas List. Puhlease. My grownup Christmas list is my AMEX bill to be paid off.

Also hate Where Are You Christmas (Faith Hill) and the bathing suit Santa Claus song someone mentioned earlier.

My FFWC is that I love Baby It's Cold Outside. I know the lyrics are squicky but the tune and duet is so catchy I can't help it.

JackieP1023 · December 2014

I guess I don't really have a least favorite song. I like to be able to sing along, though, so if it is way off the 'original', I have a hard time singing it, and will skip the song if I can.

ramfan05 · December 2014

I was a children's choir director for the past 9 years (just resigned after DD was born), and an accompanist for a few years before that. I like kids singing. Not, like, every song or anything, but it doesn't bother me.

She says "what's in this drink?"

How is that NOT rapey?

She is saying she wants to go and he tells her to stop holding out. It's gross.

Also? All children's choirs are not created equal. Screechy squeaky squealing kids? Pass. Really well trained children singing quality music? All day.

I'm not sure how I made it 32 years without hearing the donkey song, but now I'm sort of regretting YouTubing it.

Chingedy Ching!!

(Do Italians say that? I've been to Italy and don't recall hearing it being said....)

Karlamo · December 2014

I meant to tell the group that Hallmark made a movie based off of the Christmas shoes song. I'm not ashamed to say I watched it. It was just as horrible as you can imagine. I'm also not embarrassed to say I watch the Hallmark channel at Christmas time, while eating my ribbon candy. Last night Jennifer Grey was in one.
