  • Christmas songs that MUST DIE!

    I don't want to jack the other music thread so I'm starting this one. Title is self explanatory:

    It's the most wonderful time of the year - No, no it's not. ESPECIALLY if you work retail this the LAST thing you want blaring over the speakers.

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Kind of a lame Christmas song, brutally overplayed.

    Jingle Bell Rock - Decent song, but brutally overplayed.

    Just about any pop star's cover of a traditional Christmas song (EXCEPTION: Anything by Josh Groban)

    Holly Jolly Christmas - I find this song to be incredibly annoying. Maybe it's just me, maybe not.

    I used to find the 9,999 renditions of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer annoying. Then there's the equally overplayed Santa Claus is Coming to Town What's worse is that the version they would pipe in always sounded really sad. I thought getting toys was a good thing.

        "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day" by Wizzard.

        No, I bloody well do NOT wish this. -.- Especially when working Christmas week, and I'm sure everyone else who works retail then thinks the same.

            Um what? How is that even remotely Christmas????

            I remember walking into a game store and hearing techno versions of Christmas songs. Thankful for the nice change, I told the employee, but he then told me that there's at least four or five versions of last Christmas on there....ouch!

              "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer" needs pureed by Peterbilt. Actually, lets just add any redneck style or version of songs. In my neck of the woods, a lot of stores seem to think it's cute to play the same 6 or so redneck carols over and over again.

              Give me a Straight No Chasers "Holiday Can-Can." Or their version of "Twelve Days of Christmas."

                I was once homeless for three years. "I'll be home for christmas" made me want to tear the speakers off of the walls. And set them on fire.

                  But I love Roy Wood, and the Wizzard - always have done.

                  My personal least favourite is 'Simply having a wonderful Christmas time' by Paul McCartney... but even that isn't as bad as when my store, who are too cheap to pay for original recordings, play mediocre cover versions of the songs....

                      Oh god yes!!! And unfortunately I can sing the whole chorus from memory. I hate the last line. "...I'll give it to someone behh-terrrr." That breathiness kills me every time.

                        For my money, it's Slade with "Merry Christmas Everybody", but that's mainly because it was in the mix that used to play for what felt like two months at work.

                          I will also state that the tape that the garden centre used to play at Christmas needs to die in a fire... it was the same five Christmas songs (Rudolph The Red Nosed Raindeer, Jingle Bells, We Wish You A Merry Christmas, Silver Bells and Silent Night), PANPIPED, played over and over again in a CONTINUOUS loop. Enough to make you hate Christmas.

                            I remember the Xmas when "We Are The World" was first released. It was an interesting song, and music video... And then it got played to death.
