Christmas Songs You Hate to Love


Recommended Posts

What sticks in your craw this time of year? Lodges in your skull and won't get out? I'm not talking about "the classics", I'm talking about, well, you know what I'm talking about. Here's a few of mine:

 

Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses (?!?)

Wonderful Christmastime - Sir Paul

All I Want for Christmas - Mariah Carey

Up on the Housetop - Jackson 5

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - U2

that Band Aid song about feeding the world... (you know which one)

Merry Christmas Baby - the Boss (kind of gets overplayed)

Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley

Little Saint Nick - Beach Boys

Feliz Navidad - José Feliciano

Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie and Bing Crosby

 

recent additions to that list:

The Killers - Happy Birthday Guadalupe

Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa

I am fine with all of these (some of them I really really love), except for:

Wonderful Christmastime - Sir Paul

and I had made it through the entire season so far without even thinking about it. Until now. Damn you, Dude!

I concur with the majority that the Macca Christmas song is one of the worst pieces of music ever produced. I'd rather listen to "Ice Ice Baby" and "U Can't Touch This" on a repeated loop for 37.469 hours than "Wonderful Christmastime" once.

 

And Dylan's "Must Be Santa" is one of the catchiest Christmas tunes ever. A little polka, a little klezmer, I mean come on, it just screams of the birth of most of Western civilization's saviour. If you haven't seen the video yet, check it out on YouTube. My New Year's resolution is to get on the guest list for the next house party Bob throws.

I listened to my Ray Charles Christmas Album today and his "That Spirit of Christmas" is just a great song. Same one Chevy is listening to while stuck in the attic in Christmas vacation.

I actually like the Macca christmas song but then again he can't do much wrong in my eyes. I admit the keyboards sound extremely dated in that song.

I guess Lifebuoy can cause permanent damage to your hearing as well as causing blindness :lol (less than 8 hours to the start of the 24 hour Christmas Story Marathon!!!!!)

I love Wonderful Christmastime and I'm not ashamed of it. Paul rules.

I swear to God I will find you and cut you for this post.

 

I agree with IATTBYH - I'd rather listen to almost ANYTHING (even the LP-side length version of "Don't Worry Kyoko") than to hear Wonderful Christmastime.
