Poll question: It's that time of the year again...what is your least favorite Christmas Song?

I posted this at the beginning of the Christmas season and said I would post it again at the end to see if there were any changes....

[Muttocracy]

1. Grandma's there twice. nt

[norepubsin08]

3. I fixed it

[Muttocracy]

7. I would have voted for it twice if I could :)

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. 'chestnuts roasting...' = 'the christmas song". A CLASSIC! Should not be on this list.

IMHO

[emmadoggy]

20. Agree. That is one of my absolute favorites especially

as sung by Nat King Cole.

[Princess Turandot]

35. Ditto..

Nate King Cole's 'The Christmas Song' is a great one.

[DireStrike]

4. Anything with crooning. -nt-

[MrSlayer]

5. Other: I hate all Christmas music.

With the exceptions of King Diamond's "No Presents for Christmas" and Spinal Tap's "Christmas with the Devil".

[tabbycat31]

6. Christmas shoes

only because it's such a sad song that I break out in tears whenever I hear it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. I turn the channel at the first note of that song... it's SOOOO depressing.

[book_worm]

12. God yes! I hate it too. Probably more than you. I hate sappy sad songs

[PADemD]

9. The song with the barking dogs.

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. There is a meowing cat version.

[4 t 4]

16. Any Country Christmas song later than like maybe 1950 to 1960

sorry I hate country Christmas songs. I love me some country music though. I hate Christmas all together. Hate it! sorry so there I said it.

[TygrBright]

11. "Feliz Navidad"

I used to like it.

Then we moved to Santa Fe.

WE CAN'T ESCAPE!!! IT'S EVERYWHERE!!

In every conceivable guise from mariachi to muzak.

It's gotten to the point that when I hear the intro I look around for a toilet to submerge my head in until it's over.

maniacally,
Bright

[slackmaster]

31. I think of that song as "Police Shot My Dog"

For some strange reason.

[Princess Turandot]

34. That's my pick, hands down..

It's not a bad song per se, but like 'It's a Small World, After all', I can't get it out of my head for hours after I hear it.

[Joe Fields]

13. Anything Springsteen did...

[kdpeters]

14. "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"

Arrrgghh!!! It hurts!

[PDJane]

15. I don't like christmas music, except for

traditional carols, and I don't want a steady diet of them either.

[Patsy Stone]

17. The dogs barking Jingle Bells

I don't know why, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

[norepubsin08]

19. Do you have a link to that, I would like to hear it!

[Patsy Stone]

21. If you feel you must.

Ten seconds is enough, but it goes on for almost two minutes.

[stopbush]

18. Little Drummer Boy & Feliz Navidad.

[Systematic Chaos]

22. Barbra Streisand's version of Jingle Bells makes my hair stand on end.

Fucking most annoying, no-rhythm piece of crap in almost all of music, not just holiday music.

Other than that, I don't have a whole lot of issues with Streisand though. I just don't know what she was thinking recording that horrible version of Jingle Bells. :hurts:

[Liberal_in_LA]

26. I've heard this version before. She sings it superfast like she's had too much coffee.

[Ex Lurker]

23. Religious: Angels We Have Heard on High. Secular: Please Come Home for Christmas n/t

[boilerbabe]

24. All of them...n/t

[blue sky at night]

25. Malloy just played...........

Oh, Holy Nightmare. it was.

[JDPriestly]

27. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

It's so dated. It's from another time. I love it.

[Norrin Radd]

28. Silent Night - it's played out.

Silver and Gold is a beautiful song -- Johnny Marks was brilliant. No one ever pays attention to the lyrics. It has an anti-greed, anti-selfishness message (remember, there is a prospector-character in the Rankin-Bass special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" named Yukon Cornelius who is obsessed with finding precious metals, but ends up satisfied when he accidentally discovers a peppermint mine). This song was written by Marks for that special.

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Everyone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.

Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On every Christmas tree.

[Norrin Radd]

29. Santa Baby is grating, as well, though nothing against Eartha Kitt. Love her.

[LeftishBrit]

30. Other: "White Christmas". Not so much the song itself, as the way it's influenced everyone to think

that a proper Christmas MUST be white. In southern England it usually isn't; and I prefer it not to be, as snow at this time here rapidly becomes either total slush, or worse, leads to ice on the pavements.

Simply as a song - "It's Getting to Look a Lot Like Christmas".

[slackmaster]

32. That's a tough one - Jingle Bells by barking dogs is high on the list

I have a strong affinity for parodies like Wreck The Malls, and humorous alternitives like Adam Sandler's Hannukah Song.

[krispos42]

33. "Jingle Bell Rock"

More like "Jingle Bell Lite FM"

:puke:

[sweetpotato]

36. Rockin' around the Xmas Tree

horrible, just horrible. No redeeming value.
