# worst or most annoying Christmas song?

Well, since it is the season, I figured I'd find out which Christmas songs you can't stand, or at least particular versions of a certain Christmas song. I'd say my least favorite Christmas song is "The Little Drummer Boy." It just doesn't seem to have much of a tune, even if you add harmony. As for worst versions of a given song, last year I discovered Kenny G's version of "White Christmas." I swear, he played it like it was such a sad and depressing song. I don't mind most versions, and I especially like a particularly upbeat rendition of the song by the Drifters, but I just don't think that song is as sad as Kenny G played it. Then again, I don't care for Kenny G much at all, so it figures. OK, your turn to chime in.

well firstt i hate kengy g as well.
i also can not stand walking in a winter wonderland (some vertions of that are bad) and i think jingle bells (even though it is catchy) gets on my nerves as well

Jingle bells because i heard it so many times and last Christmas. My favorite is called walking in the air or something i am not shoure what is called.

OK, I'm sure this sentiment is echoed by many all around the world... but....
Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer. If I ehr that song ONCE this year it'll be three times too many. I think there should be a legal limit to how many times a mall/store/radio station can play that song in the course of a day (forget an hour... I think they should play it once a day and that's it). I don't EVER want to hear that song again!

## Post 5 by nikos (English words from a Greek thinking brain) on Wednesday, 30-Nov-2005 9:30:22

Yes i agree as well. This song is playing all the time every year and it gets anoying.

Gasp! There are bad Christmas songs!? Say it isn't so! Smile, let's see... I don't like Charlotte Church style norRod Stewart. I'm not a big fan of little drummer boy either, and I don't like that one that sings it's the most wonderful time of the year. Oy, which is that? I like Amy grant, but even her version is a little too paste a smile on her face. Awww, poor Rudolph, here are 2 version I suggest. They are very different from the norm. Jewell does a fun jazzy version -- nearly spoken word. Big Tiny Little also does a great version -- quite ragtime. Keep your antlers up Rudy...smile!

## Post 8 by Wraith (Prince of Chaos) on Thursday, 01-Dec-2005 9:45:43

Santa Baby. Dumb song it is, especially when performed by Madana.

## Post 9 by krisme (Ancient Zoner) on Thursday, 01-Dec-2005 10:52:52

Oh come on, how can you hate Rudolph?
As for songs I hate, there are some songs that are simply not Christmas songs or even Christmas-related. I mean "My Favorite Things" is a good song, but what does it have to do with Christmas at all?

## Post 10 by Twinklestar09 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Thursday, 01-Dec-2005 13:43:47

"my Favorite Things" has to do with getting gifts. *smiles* As for my most annoying songs, I don't like"I'll be Home for Christmas" It's too slow of a song for me and just sounds depressing. And I'm not much into "Santa Baby" either.

## Post 11 by Jesse (Hmm!) on Thursday, 01-Dec-2005 16:46:48

The stinkin drummer boy! I mean, come on! The virgin Mary just has baby Jesus, and here's this punk kid coming in the stable, wanting to play the drums for the baby?? Something's just not right here! He needs to be beaten over the head with his drum sticks! Oh, and where is Joe through this whole fiasco? Couldn't he have been the man and told the little punk to go home? Stupid, stupid song! Die!

## Post 12 by PorkInCider (Wind assisted.) on Thursday, 01-Dec-2005 17:11:02

Ok, i hate pretty much all Christmas songs, but I love fairytale of New York by The pogues and Kirsty Maccol.

## Post 13 by Ukulele<3 (Try me... You know you want to.) on Friday, 02-Dec-2005 14:16:16

hahahah I can't stand the little drummer boy song too. heheheh But other than that, I like most Christmas music.

12 days of christmas. So so damn disturbing

## Post 16 by icequeen (move over school!) on Tuesday, 06-Dec-2005 23:36:38

I generally dislike Christmas holiday music altogether. On the annoying scale though I'd have to say the 12 days of christmas takes the cake. I actually like Santa Baby by Marilyn Monroe. hahaha

## Post 17 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 5:46:44

If i hear the song Chestnuts Roasting On An open Fucking Fire one more time ... well, the F--- bom wasn't supposed to be in there, but you get the hint. Ugh, I hate Madonna altogether, and the song santa Baby. That brings up my horrific performance of that particular song back in elementary school. In my opinion, josh Groban does very nice versions of some of the christmas songs listed in previous posts. Buy a copy of his CD for every Josh groban fan in your lives, if they don't have it already.

## Post 18 by Diane (Missing a Friend!) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 8:56:01

12 Days of Christmas ... on and on and on and on and on and on and on it goes. Sing the final verse, strting with the12th day, and that'd be okay. The muppets do a cute arrangement, but ... oy!

## Post 19 by soaring eagle (flying high again!) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 9:14:20

Oh I hate the song gramma got run over by a rraindeer so fucking much I want to break any radio it comes on. LOL

## Post 20 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 9:43:21

I just hate the fact that every single singer in the world seems to think they should record a Christmas album. I like many songs we used to sing in the school choir when I was a kid, and I like hearing them done a certain way, but I don't need to hear every country or pop singer do their own version of the old standards.

## Post 21 by Blondie McConfusion (Blah Blah Blah) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 10:59:39

Christmas is my favorite holiday and i love everything about it. Other than that song kevin mentioned which i still claim is not a true christmas song. there are only 2 that i absolutely can not stand. number one is that damn stupid hippo song. who the fuck really wants a hippo for christmas. give me a fucking break. that song is horrible. and the second is that blue christmas song by elvis. i'm not an elvis fan to start. and that song just drives me crazy.
as for my favorites, the christmas shoes by three of hearts, lonestar does an awesome version of chestnuts roasting, belleauwood by garth brooks, oh holy night, and well i love them all but these stand out. oh and one more... where are you christmas by faith hill.

## Post 22 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 11:06:07

Pipi, I have a version of Blue Christmas you might like. It's by Porky Pig. LOL.

## Post 23 by Blondie McConfusion (Blah Blah Blah) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 11:34:34

nope can't stand that one either. heheheh

## Post 24 by Jesse (Hmm!) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 11:41:25

12 days of Christmas joins the drummer boy at the top of he hated list of Christmas songs. Grandma got run over was funny when I was a kid, but I'm not a kid anymore.

## Post 25 by Thom3of5 (Do the Doo.) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 11:41:29

Felis Navidad. sorry about the spelling. That song is so anoying after the third or fourth time

## Post 26 by purple penguin (Don't you hate it when someone answers their own questions? I do.) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 12:56:21

Any one heard the 12 pains of Christmas?

"Ok, i hate pretty much all Christmas songs, but I love fairytale of New York by The pogues and Kirsty Maccol."
I like this answer.
Oh and Kenny G needs to have a saxophone shoved up his ass as he's being drowned.
He's the worst thing to ever happen to music period. And the fact that people try to pass his garbage off as jazz is insulting to jazz musicians past and present.

## Post 28 by bozmagic (The rottie's your best friend if you want him/her to be, lol.) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 14:39:30

I'm afraid that would have to be Rudolf the rednose reindeer for me, lollol. If I hear it again, it will be two zillion zillion zillion times too many, lollol. (I snapped a Christmas tape just so I didn't have to hear that blasted, annoying, pointless, meaningless song again).gain.)

Plenty will disagree with me on these, but for me it's a toss up between that "I want a hipopotimus for christmas" song, and Santa Baby. Both just annoy me to no end. If I can avoid hearing either one this season I'll be a very happy person indeed.

## Post 30 by Jesse (Hmm!) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 21:05:20

What about Dominic the donkey?

## Post 31 by motifated (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Wednesday, 28-Nov-2007 23:00:09

Jesse, I never heard that last one, and something tels me I don't want to. As for Kenny Gee, how can we compare what he does to music? I think that Grandma Got Run Over is probably the most annoying Christmas song I know. As for the Twelve Pains of Christmas, Bob Rivers has done several Twisted Christmas Albums. He did his first few when he was here in Baltimore, and continued the tradition when he went out to I believe Seatle.

People who dislike Christmas music make me sad. I agree with Pipi, I love pretty much everything about the holiday, and anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I will drive you insane with Christmas music if given half a chance. I start listening to it the day after Thanksgiving and don't stop 'til New Year.
As for the worst songs, I must say that I find you all to be horrible, horrible people who should be visited by all the Christmas ghosts for your insults to poor Rudolph. There's nothing wrong with that song. Granted, it's incredibly overplayed, but what classic Christmas song isn't? I hate, hate, hate "Santa Baby", every version I've ever heard, and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" is certainly high on the list. Also, "The Little Drummer Boy" is one of my favorite Christmas songs, despite the fact that Ashley and Jessica Simpson did a very traumatizing version of it that slightly turned me off. Aaand, the hippopotamus song is cute!

## Post 33 by motifated (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Thursday, 29-Nov-2007 3:53:45

Wel, to the last post, I can only say "why wait till Thanksgiving?" Personally, I love most Christmas music and pull the albums out for a couple days in July. Now, I do think that the commercialization of the Holiday has got to go. I mean, on Haloween, the malls start with the decorations. To memorialize this "tradition" I want to write a song called "I Want to go Trick or Treat on Christmas."

## Post 34 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Thursday, 29-Nov-2007 11:06:24

Jessica can at least sing so much better than her sister, but that's for another board topic. what's this song about a hippopotamus? I'm not sure I've ever heard it.

## Post 35 by SingerOfSongs (Heresy and apostasy is how progress is made.) on Thursday, 29-Nov-2007 23:55:29

IT's not worth it. Trust me. And I also love drumber boy, especially a version that a barbershop group named Gashouse Gang did. If anyone can listen to that version and not be impressed, ... it'd make me sad.

## Post 36 by DancingAfterDark (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 30-Nov-2007 14:23:00

Yeah, I'm not a Jessica fan at all, but I agree that she can sing better than Ashley. Then again, so can my chihuahuas. And don't you listen to Nehemiah, it's cute! I think it's just called "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". I've heard it on the radio loads of times since the Christmas season's started.

## Post 37 by Jesse (Hmm!) on Friday, 30-Nov-2007 19:49:04

Sorry, face rockin' one, but here's another in my bottom few. Deck the Halls! Yeah, that one needs to die a slow painful death. I think any song, be it Christmas or otherwise, with an obnoxious refrain such as falalalalalalalala or par-um-pa-pum-pum should be forced to die a painful death.

## Post 38 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 01-Dec-2007 1:32:47

I agree that the Twelve Days in its traditional form is a rather repetitive song. However, most of the comedy versions I've heard of it are wonderful. C'mon, you can't forget the Bob and Doug rendition, or Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck version, or a classic record that most folks don't know anymore called "The Chickens are In the Chimes." If you ahve access to filesharing software or are on any of those audio sharing lists, see if you can find some of those. You'll like them.

A really neat version of Little Drummer boy is by chicago.

Just about all Christmas songs r annoying, although The Twelve Pains Of Christmas is hilarious.

## Post 42 by motifated (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Sunday, 02-Dec-2007 4:23:39

Well, I have to add another to the "most annoying" list. Holly Jolly Christmas really gets on my nerves, but for some reason, I find myself having to listen to it. I think it must be like the "deer in the headlights" routine or something.
Lou

## Post 43 by Nick6489 (11 years a Zoner) on Sunday, 02-Dec-2007 17:27:56

Lou, you officially suck. That is a great one, Holly Jolly Christmas. Personally, all versions of Little Drummer boy with the exception of the john Denver one must go. I can do without "Have yourself a merry little christmas" especially the slow versions, too.

## Post 44 by Susanne (move over school!) on Sunday, 02-Dec-2007 19:41:32

Definitely, definitely, "Last Christmas". I can't *stand* that song. Unfortunately my dear husband found out about it, so now it's all I hear from October to February! :-)

## Post 45 by south park fan (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Monday, 03-Dec-2007 0:31:13

Hi all,
I think the most annoying Christmas song is "Dominic The Donkey" by Lou Monty.

## Post 46 by Nick6489 (11 years a Zoner) on Thursday, 06-Dec-2007 0:42:12

No Dissing Dominic. Classic that has held up so well with time.

## Post 47 by motifated (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 08-Dec-2007 5:47:30

OK, I gotta hear Dominick, just because the title sounds twisted enough that I might enjoy it.

## Post 48 by Shadow_Cat (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 18-Dec-2007 9:47:22

I get annoyed with almost all Christmas music by the time the season is over, even the songs I really do like. Everything just gets so overplayed, because every artist and their pet rock does a version of it. But the ones I truly can't stand are It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, and Holly Jolly Christmas. Particuarly Most Wonderful Time, though. It's so sticky sweet and false that it gives me tooth decay just by listening to it. Like someone else on here said early on, I love Amy Grant, but that one's just gotta go.

## Post 49 by Austin's Angel (move over school!) on Tuesday, 18-Dec-2007 11:02:11

there are very few christmas songs that i actually like.
i mean, if you really think about it, just about every christmas song has been redone about ten million times.

## Post 50 by Musical Ambition (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Wednesday, 26-Dec-2007 12:42:23

Three songs that come to mind are Santa Baby, Little Drummer Boy, and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I absolutely cannot stand those songs!
