Lou Monte, Dominick The Donkey. Last car dealer played one of the special XM Christmas channels every year and after listening to that several times a day five to six days a week for almost a month, well you can understand better the meme of two cats standing with guitars, one saying to the other “If they ask me to play Cat Scratch Fever once more I’m gonna lose my shit!” -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

I've never heard a Christmas carol that truely annoyed me ... one of the advantages of being severely hearing impaired, I guess. | |||

I like Eartha Kitt's rendition. Don’t understand why Madonna’s is so much more popular. Serious about crackers | |||

The all time favorite is All I Want for Christmas is You, but it's followed pretty closely by a whole bunch of runners up. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Seriously, V-Tail? That song and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” convey the innocence of the ‘50’s to me. Like ‘em both. I used to hate Little Drummer Boy, but now I’m “meh” about it. I also would dispute the notion that these modern songs are “Christmas carols” in any real sense. Songs, ditties, tunes, whatever; but most all the ones mentioned above would not be sung by a serious choir at Christmas time, or by carolers coming to your door. Our choir’s Christmas concert with SD Symphony will be about half religious, half contemporary (Jingle Bells, Most Wonderful Time of the Year, We Need A Little Christmas, etc.), and I think that’s a pretty popular combination. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Wow, V-Tail, that song is one of those I remember rom my childhood. I remember my folks, my grandparents and many others who are no longer here when I hear it. And sjtill's "I saw Mommy Kissing SANTA Claus" is another. Even "All I want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" fits in for me. You're a senior and I relate to almost all your posts-this one just surprised me. Bob | |||

Favorite: Carol of the Bells. The TSO version. It rocks! The worst: Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time. You would think an Ex-Beatle would know better. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Nah, not really serious. I just happened to think of it, sort of an off-the-wall thing, so I just linked the video. That song doesn't annoy me. Actually none of them do, my hearing loss is such that I can't hear enough to get annoyed. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I don’t hear many that I don’t play myself, so I can’t think of any that actually annoy me. I’m not even familiar with most of the ones mentioned. On the other hand, due to my limited exposure to them and being a literalist, I listen to the words of songs and there are three that leave me bemused at best. A “poor” boy with a drum in ancient Israel? And “playing” it entertains an infant‽ Where did that idea even come from? The one with the “tail as big as a kite”—again? But my favorite line that literally makes me laugh out loud whenever I hear it is, “a child shivers in the cold; let us bring him silver and gold.” But I’m another who likes the Christmas season. I like the lights and decorations and the music (that I listen to). I don’t give or expect to receive gifts, I stay away from crowds, and I don’t spend time “just because” with people whom I don’t like, so I don’t have any of that stress or strain that is primarily self-inflicted by the people who whine and moan about those things. ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

They should play that song to break terrorists down for interrogations...if they’re not already doing it. | |||

Right there with you guys. Nat King Cole’s Christmas Song I can listen to once or twice *maybe*, after that I want to smash speakers. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Looks like I'll have to start writing my own Happy Festivus tunes. Can't seem to find any... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

This. The worst of the worst. Followed closely by that Christmas Shoes song and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus by the Jacksons. "I'm going to tell my dad". Pathetic. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.
