Big Al Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Posted December 9, 2006 How could I forget Santa Baby by Madonna? It makes my skin crawl. Eww!!! I haven't heard it, but still.... EWW!!! Quote

She sings the song in this coy, pouty, baby-girl voice which is really grating. I hate the song and it's premise so I don't think I'd like anyone's version. Quote
JSngry Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Didn't Victoria Jackson do it like that on SNL beofre Madonna's record? Or was it the other way around? Quote
mikelz777 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Didn't Victoria Jackson do it like that on SNL beofre Madonna's record? Or was it the other way around? No idea but the song kind of begs for that type of performance since the person in the song is the spoiled, trophy wife/lover, gold digger type. Quote
chris olivarez Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 If you think that the stuff that is mentioned here is bad and admittedly it is then you should hear some of the christmas dreck played at country radio. It would make some of the stuff mentioned here seem like high art in comparison. BTW I'm in the distinct minority in that I like some of the Aaron Neville christmas stuff but a lot of the Christmas and non Christmas music he has done in the last few years just don't make it.

mikelz777 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I absolutely hate all of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra shit. That's the one I was trying to remember. I think the song was "Sing Christmas Bells" or somthing and it sounded like the days of yore when the huns were out to conquer by burning, raping and pillaging all the villages in the land. Quote

Nothin' like a good ol' fashioned Christmas pillaging. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I love Christmas! It's just a very happy time of year for my family. We all know Christmas isn't just about the lights, the music, the gifts, the food, but it's all nice. If there's one time of year that makes me feel great, it's Christmas! I don't wanna sound mean, but I hate when people say they hate Christmas. They must be living miserable lives! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I think the little drummer boy should have his sticks placed where the sun don't shine and not be allowed to return until he can come up with a decent present. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I don't wanna sound mean, but I hate when people say they hate Christmas. They must be living miserable lives! Only during Christmas season; the rest of the year we're perfectly happy. Quote
Free For All Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I think the little drummer boy should have his sticks placed where the sun don't shine and not be allowed to return until he can come up with a decent present. A-rump-a-bum-bum! Quote

DatDere Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and that Mariah Carey christmas tune are radio staples over here. Quote
J Larsen Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I think the little drummer boy should have his sticks placed where the sun don't shine and not be allowed to return until he can come up with a decent present. I was starting to think I was the only one! Seriously, that song drove me crazy even at three years old. Quote
king ubu Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Christmas music is waaaay overrated, if you ask me Maybe Mel Torme's Christmas Song is the only one I can take now and then, otherwise none for me, please, just switch it off! Quote
J Larsen Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Christmas music is waaaay overrated, if you ask me Well, I doubt you'd get many responses to a "desert island christmas songs" thread. Quote
Larry Kart Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Perhaps because I associate it with a very pleasant young female clerk I met in a shoe store about four years ago at this time of year, I have positive feelings about "Jingle Bell Rock." To explain a bit, as she was totaling up my purchase that song was playing in the store, and she was semi-unconsciously bouncing her head a bit to it in a way that seemed to rhyme with her own genuine amiability and whatever else it was that allowed her to get through the day and the season with soul and body in one piece. Whatever -- it just hit me that way then, and it does every time I hear the song. As for "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Silver Bells," hand me my Uzi and plastique. Quote
Big Al Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Posted December 11, 2006 Wham!'s "Last Christmas" Damn! Another guilty pleasure, right up there with that Waitresses song and that McCartney song. I oughta just make a compilation of Christmas guilty pleasures and call it "Xmas Music from Hell!" Jazz Kat, I love Christmas; that's part of why I started this thread: to vent about songs that absolutely RUIN my (and anyone else's) Christmas mood! Quote

Whatever -- it just hit me that way then, and it does every time I hear the song. Still hate the song, but love the story. That's what pop music is supposed to be about in the end (until the end, though, is a different matter altogether....), and that's why pop, in its own non-musical/intellectual/whatever way, is capable of a simple yet undeniable profundity that too often escapes us "smart" people.

paul secor Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 So shoot me: I like Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock". I like John Lennon's Christmas 45, tho I'm not sure of the name - "And So This Is Christmas"?. And I like Aaron Neville - even have the Christmas CD that came out a few years ago and play it once or twice each season. Can't stand Burl Ives' "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas". Has anyone read the book on Burl Ives and John Cage? This is a serious question. I saw it in a catalog about ten years ago, but never ordered it. The whole idea of a book pairing that twosome intrigued me. Quote
Aggie87 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 I like John Lennon's Christmas 45, tho I'm not sure of the name - "And So This Is Christmas"?. See first post in this thread for the song title. Quote
