1. That Paul McCartney song hurts my head.

[milestogo]

21. And he makes $500 million a year from it.

Everyone hates it.

[USALiberal]

60. More like $180,000 based on ASCAP and BMI. nt

[NightWatcher]

29. The synthesizer "Simply Having....."? Yes, that's a horrible song.

I worked retail in college and that shit was on a loop for a month. No one should be exposed to that 10 time's a day.

[Drahthaardogs]

39. Yes. Hate it.

.

[ProudLib72]

40. And that Donovan song gets stuck in my head. nt

If I see any of your posts, I'm doomed for the day.

[crazycatlady]

2. Christmas Shoes

I want to throw something whenever I hear it.

[FSogol]

38. Yes, that is the worst. With the never ending Little Drummer Boy coming in as a close 2nd.

[beveeheart]

53. Little Drummer Boy is #1 on my list followed by

12 Days of Christmas.

[Takket]

3. "i want a hippopotamus for christmas"

that song should be classified as a violent hallucinogenic.

[Sancho]

4. partridge in a pear tree

[Control-Z]

5. Santa Baby. Ugh.

ETA: And Jingle Bells. Double ugh.

[ProudLib72]

41. + 1

[hlthe2b]

6. No "Little Drummer Boy"?

It always bugged my Mom and other friends more than me, but....

[ChubbyStar]

14. I HATE that fucking song

I'm with your Mom, I want to throw shit when I hear it.

[bathroommonkey76]

49. I like the Bing Crosby and David Bowie version.

[hlthe2b]

52. yes.. that one is special.

[OKNancy]

23. yes... and carol of the bells - hate it

[ChubbyStar]

34. How are you doing?

I don't know you but I read your posts, hope you are well.

[OKNancy]

46. I'm coping

THank you so much for asking. I'm told the first Christmas is the hardest. I can attest that it is not easy.
However, I have friends and family who care. Oh, and of course DU.!

[murielm99]

37. I despise that song. nt

[Siwsan]

7. I'm not a fan of any of the secular Christmas songs

I have a higher tolerance for traditional, religious Christmas Carols which is weird since I'm not particularly religious.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. My Wife Is Christmas Carol Freak

Radio, CDs the music channels on cable, you name it.
There's a bunch I hate hearing, but I picked Jingle Bell Rock from your list.
What a piece of crap!

[ChubbyStar]

15. OMG as your future wife

I will never play Christmas music!

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Nah, I'm OK With It!

But, when you hear ALL of them, some are bound to be annoying.
And, I'm way more OK with those that were in the common parlance when I was a kid!
The more modern, the more strained.

[ChubbyStar]

20. You know I love you GAC

[Freddie]

9. "Last Christmas I gave you my heart..."

Want to throw a rock at the radio. Love George Michael but such an insipid piece of horse excrement played constantly, and there's a recent remake that's even worse.
The Amy Grant song where she screws up the words to "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" (there must be a reason but it escapes me).
I actually like the McCartney song, reminds me of when I was a kid.

[tavernier]

10. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

is highly offense to us grandmothers. With yoga and Zumba, we are much quicker than we look these days.

[mreilly]

22. I had to listen to that abomination in the lobby of my office building...

... and all I could think was that it's such a dumb song it must have been written/performed by a Trumphumper.

[nolabear]

11. I think Ill stay off of DU til after the holidays. DAMN this place is negative.

I get political outrage but DAMN, people.

[hlthe2b]

19. nah.I'd bet everyone is listening to Christmas music and have a lot of favorites along with a couple

they don't care for or are just tired of.

Each year I love to seek out unusual arrangements or styles of the classic carols, whether it be jazz, big band, or classic chorale. Helps keep them "fresh"

[nolabear]

36. I suppose Im being hyperbolic. I collect outre Christmas songs so love them.

Every year I add a couple, and I’ve got a wide range of fine stuff. Makes O Come All Ye Faithful go down a lot easier. 😄

[gopiscrap]

50. me too

[Maeve]

12. Christmas Shoes

A sappy bit about a kid buying shoes for his dying mother and doesn't have the money to pay for them... I hate that thing!

[lpbk2713]

13. A winter song, but no direct reference to Christmas ...

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.


I never was a big Julie Andrews fan.

[ChubbyStar]

16. Screw Julie Andrews

Coltrane does the BEST version of that song, going to put it on now!

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Was His Wife Playing Piano On That?

Might be a little too early

[grantcart]

24. lol whenever anybody asks "is it too early", its always too early.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Fair Point!

[ChubbyStar]

25. Alfred McCoy Tyner

But you knew that.....

[ProfessorGAC]

27. I Forgot

After Monk, Turner was a fave

[ChubbyStar]

31. Monk is next up on my CD mix

Ruby, My Dear. Thelonious is forever in my heart.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Fun Story

Played piano at 4
Mostly the standard classical crap
Dad was a Cool Jazz fan. Farlow, Brubeck, Getz et all
Well, he's got this album of Bird at the Vanguard
I yank it and run to my room. I'm 10
He gets home from work and I tell him "I want to play like this!"
It was Monk
I even play rock guitar like a Monk guy!
That was 51 years ago.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

26. Happy Xmas (War is Over)

[2naSalit]

30. All of those

and a few more.

[lunasun]

32. This

[woodsprite]

33. Blue Christmas!

If it comes on a station, I’ll turn it off.

[Buns_of_Fire]

44. The Porky Pig version is much better. nt

[OldHippieChick]

35. The Chipmunk Christmas Song

Maybe that's not played as much anymore. Drives me crazy

ALVIN!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. I still want a Hula Hoop!

(And Lawn Darts, too!)

[librechik]

43. Yesterday the classical station played a Christmas Classic called The Boar's Head

They had to dive pretty deep for 100 classical Christmas songs, I guess. Not my cup of ugly meat.

[OKNancy]

47. THis is my new favorite - LOL - Dropkick Murphys

[JDC]

54. More fun than The Pogues - Fairytales of NY

Thanks for posting

[OKNancy]

59. Im a huge Pogues fan

I’m a huge Pogues fan. That’s I discovered the Murphy’s

[Lunabell]

48. I love them all

I love christmas and all the trimmings. Can't wait!

[redstatebluegirl]

51. Grandma Got Run over By a Reindeer

Makes me want to hurl.

[Ligyron]

55. Those dogs barking Jingle Bells

Really grates on me.

[LeftishBrit]

56. I think the absolute worst I've heard is Merle Haggard's 'Santa Claus and Popcorn'

Of those that I hear rather more frequently, it's probably a tie between 'Wonderful Christmastime' (*not* McCartney's finest hour) and 'White Christmas'. I think in the latter case it's not so much the song itself, as that it feeds into the myth that Christmas has got to be white.

[Generic Brad]

57. Baby, Its Cold Outside

That is one of the rapiest songs I have ever heard. Make that horrible duet stop.

[Codeine]

58. I cant believe they still play it.

My job takes me into ten to twenty grocery stores a day, so I hear that song all the damned time and it STILL freaks me out a little.
