Christmas songs that MUST DIE!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

'Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg

Seriously Danny, of all days to run into your old girlfriend in the grocery store, it had to happen Christmas Eve? Not, say, May 19th? Prompting you to write this weepy earworm that gets played with all the other happy songs?

This song's really a train wreck to me. I like the melody but the words get to me.

[Ashaela]

The WHAT?!? Really??

Yes this is in fact a thing!

"What Do You Get a Wookie for Christmas (If He Already Has a Comb)"

[SongsOfDragons]

I like most Christmas and Winter music and carols. (I think that covers everything. ^^)

I'm beginning to get annoyed by Fairytale of New York - Overplayed!!

Also It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Aldi crap I mean Christmas - guess who's stolen that song and plays it on their adverts constantly >.<

Add another vote for Trans-Siberian Orchestra being awesomesauce, and another going to seek out that Steamroller one. ^^

A mainstream song I love, have always loved and will never get tired of: Stop The Cavalry!! I also like Walking In The Air and O Tannenbaum, especially Position Music's version of the latter, it sounds so eerie.

Though has anyone else heard Enya's Christmas album? '...And Winter Came'? I would gladly listen to that album all the time. There's a song along the lines of Little Drummer Boy but isn't a cover at all, there's IMO the new Jingle Bells White Is In The Winter Night, the very lovely Trains And Winter Rains and for those of you who like Silent Night Enya's version has her signature 40-times-layered voice...and is in Irish!

EDIT: Oh I almost forgot. I've no idea of they have a CD or anything but I found these guys last year and OMG they're good. May I present... the Daejeon Handbell Choir. Here's a link to their version of 'Parade Of The Tin Soldiers'...prepare to be blown away by this chick's sheer skill!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHyrUmc7c0k

Okay, here's one that's, um...

This modified medley includes a number of old (dis)favorites, and its topic is a problem many of us have, especially during the holiday season. It's mostly in Japanese, with no subtitles, but... you won't need them.

I lol'd.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Got another one to add "Rocking around the Christmas tree"

The only version of that song I like is the one by Brenda Lee. All the other ones suck rocks.

Speaking of sucking rocks, did anyone see that girl try to sing that song on last Friday's special from Rockefeller Center? Trying to remember her name, but she was horrible - I think the only reason people applauded when she was done was from RELIEF!!!

Let's all sing together now: "Chipmunks roasting on an open fire, hot sauce dripping from their toes..."

Hey! One of my oldest friends is Chip! You did notice my name?

"Single Hell! Single Hell!" Now I will never be able to hear the original without hearing this in my head. An improvement actually.

.....you're into chipmunkcide? O.o

After today I have another song that I do not want to hear...."All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"....

Seeing a roughly Year 1/2 class today singing that song while also blowing whistles.....

[TheCheerfulTreeRat]

Regular sounding songs that add the words Holly, Snowman, Christmas, Jingle. Are NOT Christmas songs.

One thing I loved about Love Actually was the Artistes dislike of his own Xmas'ed song. "Festering Turd of a Song" was his description of it IIRC...

[dalesys]

Has someone done the Zombie remake? "Deck the Halls With Bowels of Holly"

[MoonCat]

You mean you don't know this one?

Think I should leave this here...

That just ran my dog out of my bedroom. I'm laughing so hard I just woke up my husband.

Aussie Christmas carols like Aussie jingle bells (http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/so...glebells.shtml) and the Aussie 12 days of Christmas (http://alldownunder.com/australian-m...-christmas.htm)

annoying songs that are performed at every school Christmas concert.
