Are There Christmas Songs You Don't like?

[Mayhem]

There seem to be a lot of posts about favorite Christmas songs. Don't mean to go all negative, but is there any you don't like? Personally, "Last Christmas" "Merry Christmas (War Is Over)" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" aren't the best. What about you guys?

[putrid]

Cool idea Mayhem. This could be a fun thread!
'Frosty the Snowman'. LOL Even as a kid I didn't like the cartoon. I've got a few Jazz versions of it that are cool. Then I would have to say 'Blue Christmas', 'Gramma got run over by a reindeer' and 'I wana new Baby for Christmas'. Music structurlaly I would have to say 'Sighlent Night'. da.. da DA, da.. da DA, da.. da D. A. A., da.. da DA. LOL But I like the song.

[skoubah]

yes, i do not like Dominick the Christmas donkey.

It hurts my head.

LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

"so this is Christmas, and what have you done", little drummer boy, do you hear what I hear

[EnlightenedGrinch]

I'll probably get some nasty remarks for saying this, but I cannot stand that dumb "Christmas Shoes" song. I don't even know what the real name of the song is, but they play it "ad nauseum" on the radio.
It's the one about the kid who's mother is on her death bed and he wants (but doesn't have enough money) to buy her a new pair of shoes so she can dance a jig for him before she kicks the bucket!
Bleah!!

[Just Whisper]

I am burned out on almost all the "oldies" we grew up with..."Dreaming of a White Christmas, Jingle Bells, Chestnuts Roasting..., Frosty the Snowman, etc. I am glad to hear some new songs coming out in the past 10 years or so, even if I don't like them all. Wow, Sickie...2 of my favorites, dissed!!!!

[putrid]

I'm with ya on that song EnlightenedGrinch. I've heard it one and onehalf times now. Turned the radio off the second time. LOL So if there's any beaf about not liking it they'll have to catch both of us. You distract them while I get away...LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

whisper, that's okay- I still like the oldies even if you don't. LOL

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Yea, I turn the radio off when I hear it too!!
LOL--OK, I'll distract them by singing "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" in my little girly-girl voice!!

[Sickie Ickie]

LOL Your are going to fit in here without a doubt, too! :D

[Clarice]

"The Twelve Days of Christmas", "Feliz Navidad", "Frosty the Snowman", "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer", so far that's my list.

[childofthenight]

[cybervision1]

Internet radio station !

That's the best !

[Olga]

I couldn't agree more with EnlightenedGrinch, about ''Newsong'', the group that sings ''Christmas Shoes''. Unacceptable song. (It's from the movie ''Christmas Shoes'' with Rob Lowe, I saw it once (half of it), then I turned off TV...)

Now, songs I do not like? In fact, I really hate them...
Check on these..

''All I want for Christmas is you'' - Mariah Carey :(
''My only wish this year'' - Britney Spears :mad:
''Feliz Navidad'' - Jose Feliciano :sadfatsanta:
(and some ...other... I cannot remember right now...)

The first days of December, Greek radios start playing 20-30 Christmas songs for Christmas Holidays.. That's it.. Especially the first 2, are always TOP...
Thank God there is Internet..

:smiley:

[Sickie Ickie]

Yep, and internet plays them al year rond. :) I was listening last week.

I HATE that song "So This Is Christmas and What Have You Done?"

[EnlightenedGrinch]

Yah!! Somebody agrees with me!! Thanks, Olga. Gee, we're really importing some awful stuff to Greece! No wonder so many countries want to invade us! :)




I HATE that song "So This Is Christmas and What Have You Done?"

I think the title is "Happy Christmas" LOL. Doesn't the song make you HAPPY, Sickie?? :mad:

[bethene]

well, I gotta say, I am in agreement on the christmas shoes song, blech' also the 3 that Olga said, again, blech. And I must say, the beach boys have some nonsense out there too, don't know the name but dispise it on principal! Also the "Happy Christmas" song definitely does NOT make me happy!!!
I guess I am old fashioned, I love the classics, .
My favorite song is probably "oh Holy Night", but what I DO hate is some red neck moron with a twang, who can't sing their way out of a paper bag or some "pop star" singing , if it can be called that, and totally destroying it. Just cus it is a very popular song does NOT mean every one should try and sing it!!! Sorry, mini rant there, but it truely does bug me!

[Mummy deer-est]

What is the Christmas shoes song??? I probably know it if you sing a few bars...

I can handle most songs (even Dominic the donkey, lol) but I do get annoyed listening to oldies being redone by someone who thinks good singing is changing octaves every millisecond to show their "range." Those runs are annoying.

[EnlightenedGrinch]

What is the Christmas shoes song??? I probably know it if you sing a few bars...


Ahhh--I wish I was as lucky as you Mummy to NOT know this song! :confused:

[EnlightenedGrinch]

''Feliz Navidad'' - Jose Feliciano :sadfatsanta:


I actually like "Feliz Navidad", but the problem is the stations play way it too often.
For those songs you don't like, just do what I do--make up your own new lyrics for them.

OK--Here's the updated "Feliz Navidad":

Police stopped my car,
Police stopped my car,
I see those blue lights and it makes me MAD,

Police stopped my car,
Police stopped my car,
I see those blue lights and it makes me SAD.

He wants me blow in the breath-a-lyzer,
He wants me blow in the breath-a-lyzer,
And so I blew in the breath-a-lyzer,
And I blew it off the cha-a-art!

(Repeat)

[putrid]

So I guess Johnny Cash's version of 'The Little Drummer Boy" is out of the question Bethene? LOL

Mummy deer-est. You hit the nail on the head. Seeing how many notes you can hit in two measures of music isn't singing. Forcing folks to listen to that is called butchering. LOL

[Sickie Ickie]

Also I can't stand "A soldier's story". As soon as that starts I turn off the radio.

As far as those runs go, I may be showing my age, but I don't understand it. I really don't find it pretty. Of course being an actor, I grew up on musicals (and love 'em!), and my "friends" don't understand the musical stage style of songs either.

[bethene]

well, Putrid, I actually like Johnny Cash, one of the few country singers I do like, and drummer boy is fine, it can be sung by many styles of singers, and be good, as long as it isn't " O Holy Night" some one is butchering, it is a different type of song that required a different type of singing, now Josh Grobin singing it is fantastic, IMHO,
I also agree with everyone about runs, don't like them, don't get them, and they wreak a song!

[MerryBells]

I'm with EnlightenedGrinch; I just don't like the Christmas Shoe Song.

[Craig]

I have to agree with detesting the "Christmas Shoes" song, but the one that really turns my stomach is a regional one in the Seattle area "Christmas in the Northwest is a gift God wrapped in green" LORD! THAT thing makes me want to lose my lunch every time I hear it (one of the FEW things I don't miss about Washington state! hahahahahaha!)


-Craig

[putrid]

Craig Church, if it's worst that the shoe song than please keep it up there. LOL I have to admit that I'm bias towards the older and even the religious Christmas songs. But I'm also looking forward to someone coming out with good modern songs as well. ....still looking. Maybe this year.

Bethene, I also like Dolly Parton, but don't tell anyone. I'll deny it.

[Craig]

Just in case anyone is interested in hearing my "Christmas song I hate" here is a link (you have been warned!) hehehehehehe!

YouTube - Music Video : Brenda White - Christmas In The Northwest

-Craig :(

[digbugsgirl]

I don't care for "Blue Christmas" and anything sung by Clay Aiken. CAN'T STAND HIM!! His voice is horrible and to look at him makes it THAT much worse!

Bethene- I agree. Josh Groban is FANTASTIC!!

[Cjw]

"Last Christmas" from Wham has to be the worst song ever made.

[Rybcon]

I'm too much of a traditionalist I guess.

Hate - Country Christmas. Josh Groban, Celtic Christmas

[Cjw]

I'm too much of a traditionalist I guess.

Hate - Country Christmas. Josh Groban, Celtic Christmas Wow, I was just going to say that I love Josh Groban. :chappy:

[Rybcon]

Ugh! I deleted him from my iPod.

[cindylouwho]

I can't stand the song Feliz Navidad.

[Rybcon]

Please add Elvis Presley and Mariah Carey to the Rybcon Christmas song hate list.

[WanderingStar]

Oh wow... most country versions of Christmas songs I really don't like. I also can't stand any R&B songs.

Any Christmas song by Jessica Simpson or NSYNC or Backstreet Boys (not that they're really around anymore... but people still play 'em on the radio..)

Much more of a traditionalist if I'm listening to music just by myself - give me the Vienna Boys Choir or Frank Sinatra any day!

[Rybcon]

Good girl WS!

[Craig]

Please add Elvis Presley and Mariah Carey to the Rybcon Christmas song hate list.

This is a list of Christmas songs you DON'T like??????

[IluvChristmas]

Yes. I do not like those Christmas songs.

[Wiggy]

I don't like most country Christmas songs. Not so much the songs themselves, it's just that I don't like much country music. Unfortunately, I live near the country music capitol of the world, so good luck finding much else on the radio here!

[Craig]

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (ANY version)

Jingle Bell Rock (ANY version)

Santa Baby (Any version)

[markgbarba1987]

hahaha.. this is a twist.. hehe.. let me think of one first.. uhmmm :confused:

[Olga]

My only wish this year - Brit Spears
A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney

I will come up with more.. :)

[Just Whisper]

I dislike so many Christmas songs I really wouldn't know where to start. They play the same ones over and over on the radio until you want to scream. And I am so tired of them since I have been listening to the same ones all my life. Maybe you call them traditional, I call them boring. I guess that is why I like a lot of the "newer" Christmas songs. Imagine if everyone stopped writing new songs after 1945 ( I don't mean Christmas). And we had to listen to the old stuff forever. That is how I feel about Christmas music. Some of the old ones I really love. But I have no problem with new ones too.

A Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney= one of my favs, BTW. :)

[Rybcon]

I can't think of any "new" Christmas songs and very few new versions that are tolerable. Okay, Twisted Sister hit the mark.

[Olga]

Santa Baby (Any version)

Well, I like it sung by mrs Piggy, from the movie ''It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie''
I find it very funny and its right up there on my list..

:)

[ChristmasTreeWondy]

I really don't care much for the more "modern" technology-based Christmas music, such as Trans-Siberian Orchestra or Mannheim Steamroller. As far as traditional Christmas carols go, I really don't care for "We Three Kings" or "The First Noel".

[navidadnm2010]

Anything Sad and Sappy, Boo Hoo, Woe as me, my Christmas is Ruined, etc. types of Tunes.
Anything Fun and Upbeat, I can go for.

[Perpetual_Christmas]

My mother gets a visceral reaction to Jingle Bell Rock, lol.

[Bears13]

The soldier letter song... doesn't really seem like its a song to me.. IMO

[Jeremy]

'Go tell it on the Mountain', I never did like that song LOL

[Rybcon]

'Go tell it on the Mountain', I never did like that song LOL

Agree!!! :)

[starsandakiss]

im not a big fan of silent night. too slow for me.
