Who here thought the following Chrismas songs should be a form of torture

[Valerie5555]

(A) Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

(B) Grandma got ran over by a reindeer



and anyone could add whatever Xmas song they want to the list.

On edit PAGING AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

On edit I hope our new kitty isn't ever given a name like Chet for if I catch anyone singing "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire," I will sic the SPCA on them though they luckily also neutered or castrated our kitty as part of the adoption so I would have the last laugh as our kitty now has no nuts. (Since he's a male "old enough for the "kitten division" of a cat show" aged kitty (or one between the ages of 3 and 9 months old, about 5 and a half months old to be exact we recently adopted from the animal shelter.)

1. An icky one I heard today...It's Christmas in America, God Bless

the USA. I thought it was Christmas throughout the world? You know, let there be peace on earth and all that jazz???

[Valerie5555]

8. Did Lee Greenwood do that one?

At least I didn't have to hear it.

[LSparkle]

2. "Merry Christmas, Darling" by the Crapenters

sends me into a diabetic coma ... Thank God I haven't heard it yet this season ...

[Melsky]

3. The little drummer boy

I hate that song! When I hear it, it makes me want to kick something. Hard. Like maybe a little drummer boy.

I don't know why this song makes me so mad, but it does.

[LSparkle]

6. I cannot bear that song, either

and I think it's due to the darned "prum-pa-pum-pum"s. (Is that supposed to sound like a drum? Damn ... )

[Valerie5555]

7. I kind of feel your pain about that one as well as the song "Do you hear

what I hear," primarily because the latter was played to death every year.

On edit I do feel your pain actually concerning "The Little Drummer Boy" for that one at times may set my teeth on edge and I feel like I NEED a DENTIST sooner than I expected.

[Liberal Christian]

4. Actually, I don't mind Chestnuts

I don't know why. But it's just so darned singable, and I do love to sing. I have fond memories of the "Sing Along With Mitch Christmas Album" that our whole family, in one of those Norman Rockwell moments that no one seems to believe in anymore, used to sing along with Mitch.

5. Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer

played through the sound system at Sears around 400 times a day. My poor grandfather(sold washing machines and clothes dryers in the 1950's and 60's) almost went mad (ala The Shining) by the end of December! He hated that song.

9. Here in DC there's a song called "Christmastime in Washington"

which I

:puke::puke:
NEVER
:puke::puke:

want to hear again.
Nor will you, if you ever have the misfortune of hearing it.

10. There is one played in Calgary called NEW YORK CITY CHRISTMAS

and we're not even in New York.

What I meant was I couldn't believe they even play that one in Calgary too.

11. The Xmas Song

That's the actual name of "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" (or, "Jack Frost roasting on an open fire," as I like to call it). It's OK when sung by Mel Torme or Nat King Cole. Otherwise, no good.

"The Little Drummer Boy" sucks, no question.

"Felix Navidad" is the most repetitive POS ever written for Xmas. No, make that the most-repetitive POS written EVER!

[Ediacara]

12. Some awful song I think is called "Happy Holidays", and of course...

"The 12 never ever ever ever ever ever EVER ending days of Christmas"

What do you mean that song is only 23 minutes long? Can't we add in 3 more days and make it 45 minutes long!?

ON EDIT: Happy Holidays is torturous. It was written by Irving Berlin!

The awful repetative lyrics are as follows:

Lyrics and Music for "Happy Holiday" by Irving Berlin
Music and Lyrics for "The Holiday Season" by Kay Thompson

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you

It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down

It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down

He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree

It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and dickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
"Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you
To you ?BR> Happy Holiday (repeats to fade)

13. I love Grandma got ran over by a reindeer!
