So Thanksgiving just ended and there's trees and lights everywhere. Generally, I love holiday time in the city - the crisp air, the crowds, the beautiful storefronts, reefs and menorahs in every window, ice-skating rinks, shopping bags filled with presents, but the stupid songs! You know what I'm talking about, you can't turn on the radio without hearing "Dominique, the Donkey" and you can't walk into Saks (as Jen and I did after work) without hearing "All I want for Christmas is you." Come on!!! How corny can you get?!? There's always the Adam Sandler "Christmakwanzahanukkah" song to top the list. Anyway, that's my rant for the evening, but I'd love to have a list going of the worst holiday songs ever. I started with three, let's see if we can get to 50, okay that's a bit optimistic, but maybe 15? (Dashka, I think I will REALLY need your help on this one, lol).
Happy singing along, we always sing along!

3. Santa Claus coming to town
4. Its the most wonderful time of the year
5. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
6. Rudolf the Red Nose Raindeer
7. I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
8. Santa Baby
LOL...all equally annoying
This one I actually love, "V Lesu Rodilas' Elochka" lol.
ReplyDeleteok, that is unfair, i LOVE "santa baby" -- it's not cheezy, it's cheesetastic! and cheeky.
ReplyDeletebut i freakin' hate the following:
-chestnuts roasting on an open fire: this makes me think of that disgusting smell that roasted chestnuts give off. yuck!
- grandma got run over by a reindeer: is tacky and doesn't capture christmas spirit at ALL. time to retire this bull**t, Z100!
- little drummer boy -- for the last time, dammit, pa-ruh-pu-pum-pum are NOT words!
- Winter Wonderland -- the song itself is annoying, but when sung by Annie Lennox it just becomes unbearably depressing. not that i don't love annie lennox.
- Home for the Holidays: what a load of crap, sounds like musical margerine.
- White Christmas. just racist.
- Frosty the Snowman: look, who cares about him! if you're older than 3 you should NOT be listening to bullcrap about snowmen who come alive.
- Do you hear what i hear: no, bitch, i don't! and it's also remarkably similar to the Verizon tagline, so doubly annoying.
- oh yeah: Deck the halls. again, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la are NOT words. and the whole thing just sounds like a retail ad: deck the halls with boughs of Holly ($3.99 at your local WalMart) Don we now our gay apparel (leggings: $18.99 at American Apparel; Cashmere sweater: $169.99 at White & Warren)
Come on! I don't even care that Mozart used it. it sucks.
now some Christmas songs i love:
- Last Christmas by George Michael. so pretty, makes you wanna dance
- Please come home for Christmas, by Bon Jovi. Come on. It's Bon freakin' Jovi! if he asked me, i'd totally come home for Christmas.
- Blue Christmas: Oh Elvis...
Dashka, I knew I could count on you!
ReplyDeleteThat was very thorough.
Any other takers?
Hello...i'm new to this so please forgive me if anyone wrote any of these, i don't know how to read this post but I've been promising Alla to write something for 2 years now...so here I go...
ReplyDelete#1: All I Want for Christmas Are My Two Front Teeth (not sure if a Red Neck created this one but if he wants it back, I know a good Dentist)
#2 I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (please, it's not Chinar on Staten Island, don't get me started on this one)
#3. The Grandma Got runover by a raindeer (i'm guessing a raindeer was driving by a grandson who got a barbie doll for christmas b/c grandma thought he was a girl)
#4. O Holy Night (should probably be changed to $--TT but who am I to judge, it's a blog
#5. Do you see what I see? Since Rosie O"donnell sang this song, no you stupid ugly fat bitch, I missed you and your song, even while wearing my glasses (I hope she doesn't read your blog)
#6 The Christmas shoes (Alla, I'm not sure if this pertains to you, but I think they are talking about UGG's...maybe some Chanel or Gusi...or even Fedia...are the really Christmas shoes?
#7 Please Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas (I hear in mid-west, that's the only song they sing, but only the wife sings it to her husband and changed Daddy to hubby and forgets the word Don't)
#8. Silent night...(not sure who sings this song but the title says it all, am I not right boys)
P.S. Allochka, I never want to hear you say that I dont' read, visit or write on your block...HAppy HOlidays
OMG alla .... look what you have started....now people finally have a place where they can address all of their repressed holiday anger. HAHAHA....btw...whoever wrote the song "do you see what i see"....THANK U!!!!!! I couldnt remember the name of this song...i just had the annoying melody in my head all morning.
