Most annoying christmas song ever

[brewerb]

[Tres Leches]

I love all the Christmas songs in this thread. And all the other Christmas songs not mentioned in this thread.

*wait, I'm in the wrong thread, this is the annoying Christmas songs thread*   

I can't stand the Chipmunks, they all need to take a long walk off a short pier, including the ones that sing their infernal Christmas songs.

Not entirely sure about the worst, but I certainly know the best.

[Mark]

Shoot, I almost forgot.

This is one of a handful of songs that genuinely makes me wish I was deaf when I hear it played:

I cringe whenever I hear it in movies. So overused. One of those songs you only need to hear once, if at all.

Once and you're a philosopher.  Twice and you're a masochist.

Rockin around the Christmas Tree. We did that years ago for a junior high Xmas production and we had to sing it over and over and over ugh.

 Brenda Lee  did some beauts too. Not just Xmas song though; she had the same voice gimmick as Elvis, but over did it. She actually has a great voice, which she showed in much later recordings.

In the song below, I could swear she sings "later we'll have some fuckin'  pie"

Hummmm....I haven't listened to these albums but I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume they're not exactly the best.   



Notice the great price  though!  ^ ^ ^   $1.98! Can't beat that.    

[Dancefortwo]

Um........

@Dancefortwo the bottom album cover is borderline NSFW. Jeez, I need to bleach my eyes now.

Because it's used for programming.

Even though I love love love the Nutcracker, the Russian Dance is played too much in ads.

Fuuuuuck! Who's that scary mannequin? (The one next to the doll)  

$1.98? Far too expensive.

It's of interest that a lot of these cheesy Christmas songs were performed by well-known,
top selling artists of the day. But they fell over when trying to re-invent their own version
of old standards performed much more agreeably back in the day, by the original artists.

"Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall? It's the time that every Santa has a ball...

...So here it is, Merry Christmas everybody's having..."

Yes, that one. I hate it with a passion but more than that I despise utterly the tasteless, mindless fucks who insist on playing the thing in every shopping mall, pub, cafe and even public toilets.

This is an open question for everyone in the retail trade. Do you listen to this shit at home? No, of course you don't so why the fuck do we have to endure it!

[Cheerful Charlie]

Sorry to do this to you all.

[TheGentlemanBastard]

How has no one mentioned this hideous dreck?!?



Darkly funny the first couple time you hear it, but holy fuck, once it's been played 421,495,356,845,754,322,874 times each xmas season... Fuck! That!

[Astreja]

Sorry to do this to you all.

(finally stops laughing)  Someone put waaay too much time into doing audio samples of goats.  The only thing that would make it funnier is if they had used autotune.

I counted three songs in this thread that are on this year's band playlist.  Fortunately we do them as instrumentals, which makes them marginally less painful.

It's a toss-up which song I hate the most.  "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" makes me cringe, but the Michael Jackson version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

[abaris]

They all suck.

Depends.

This dreck should not be allowed:

I'd have to put a plug in for most of William Shatner's Christmas album. There's one or two tracks which are good, but the rest vary from just bad to positively painful to listen to.
