Dude Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 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.

(you know which one)Merry Christmas Baby - the Boss (kind of gets overplayed)Blue Christmas - Elvis PresleyLittle Saint Nick - Beach BoysFeliz Navidad - José FelicianoPeace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie and Bing Crosby recent additions to that list:The Killers - Happy Birthday GuadalupeBob Dylan - Must Be Santa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Blue Christmas - Elvis Presley for me, it's just not Christmas if I don't get to hear this song. My all-time favorite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 for me, it's just not Christmas if I don't get to hear this song. My all-time favorite.True, it's a classic, something about E's vocal delivery always cracks me up a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I love the Elvis Christmas stuff. Highly recommend this one: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 and I had made it through the entire season so far without even thinking about it. Until now. Damn you, Dude! Sorry, I know that song is Evil and Wrong on so many levels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I love Wonderful Christmastime and I'm not ashamed of it. Paul rules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Degenerex Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I love "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and I'm not ashamed at all. Although I think it may be about date rape... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
