UGH
It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped, whirrrr when it stood still. I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will.

I didn't realize anyone other than Raffi did that song. That used to be one of my favourite kid songs.

i absolutely hate going shopping at this time of year because of the 'happy' music. i bet more then one murderer has been created because of it.
I love Christmas songs, but that's probably because I don't often listen to them. I was out shopping for the first time tonight since the Christmas season 'started'. I whistled along to the music and thoroughly enjoyed it all.

The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot, by Nat King Cole.

Christmas songs should not be this depressing.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.
I downloaded a version for my doughter cause she lost her two front teeth and I though that it would be funny, but the person that sings it sounds like the old man with a walker on Family Guy so when you make that relation the song becomes very creepy.

Are you kidding? I love both of those--maybe because their silliness appeals to me, I don't know.

I'm going to go out on a limb and put Feliz Navidad on the list. Maybe because the local radio station that my wife puts on the car radio seems to play it about every other song.

I'm also not a fan of "Silver Bells." Maybe it's just me.

Feliz Navidad wins for sure. Sounds like the guy Mike Richards has sing the "Drive Very Safe" song. Maybe it is the same guy and I've missed the joke.

To be perfectly honest, I think the Twisted Sister Christmas album is hilarious. It is the only Christmas music that I actually don't wince when I hear it. But then again, I love cheese.

Anything by Manheim Steamroller. Insturmental group that does synthesized verisons of Xmas songs. Just putrid stuff.

I appreciate what the Bandaid song did, but the overkill during the holidays is much. I'd rather here the Canadian Bandaid Christmas song. I can't say I've heard it once during the season so far.

Yes. *shudder* They ARE brutal. The scary thing is, somebody liked that enough to make a recording of it. It sounds like something a 16 year old did with a 90 dollar electric keyboard, using the "snare drum" pre-recorded beat setting.
