Christmas Song Elimination

[HRPufnstuf]

Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Elmo Shropshire and Patsy Trigg.

I'll probably be struck down by lightning, but McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime"

I’m a big McCartney fan and I find that one irritating repetitious noise.

 

[trudger]

Anything being played on the piano at Menards. Anything. Won’t go there till after the new year.

 

[Chasing Embers]

I’m submitting one and it’s more of a New Years Eve song: “Imagine” by Jon Lennon. It’s downright depressing.

Musical interpretation is interesting. Always took that one as a happy piece about love and hope.

 

[PA Piper Mike]

Just 3??? If I pay, can I pick 6?

 

[renfield]

Little Drummer Boy, any version
Feliz Navidad
Wonderful Christmastime

The barking dogs Jingle Bells has to go, too.

After hearing any of the above I have to rinse my ears out with Vince Guaraldi’s Charlie Brown Christmas.

 

[Winnipeger]

Did anyone mention Feliz Navidad yet?

I love the Xmas music that I grew up but I guess my three for elimination would be:

1) The Christmas Song
2) The Carol of the Bells
3) I'll Be Home for Christmas

I thought I was the only one who can't stand Christmas on radio. Now I finally have some faith in human kind.

This time of year reminds me why I don't own a radio.

Three songs isn't enough! Maybe if we do 6 a year for the next couple decades we can whittle down the dead weight of garbage Christmas songs.

All I Want for Christmas, Paul McCartney's both new to go, but elimination is too good for those two songs. And I suppose last should be any of the older standards that some new upstart wants to put their spin on. There are so many good options here that anyone the mob picks is good for me.

I seem to be good at avoiding the music. I will turn on the radio while we prep for Christmas dinner, but that is it. I don't hate any of them. I just prefer not to listen to Christmas music till the big day.

I'm ashamed for humanity that nobody has yet uttered Santa Baby.

That's the only one I like!

Sounds like a malfunction. Have you tried turning your ears off and back on again?

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Come next Friday, when we are home, the turntable and CD player will be spinning all sorts of Christmas music through New Year's Eve. Gotten into some harder to find old Jazz Xmas recordings the last couple of years in particular and as I've gotten older I'd rather have instrumental in the background, but plenty of vocal favorites . . . if it's jazz, country, classical, vocal from forever probably on the shelf --- just no "pop" artist crap from the past 40 years.

The Beatles- Wonderful Christmas Time makes me want to clean my ears out with an acetylene torch.

It's the one I never hear in my area. I don't mind the ones I don't hear.

Don’t blame George, Ringo and John!!

 

[RookieGuy80]

Santa Clause is Coming to Town. Yes, even that version.

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth. A song that annoying removes a good chunk of wondering what happened to them.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. After having my ears assaulted by that song, I hope that he gets one.

Three Christmas songs really aren't enough to eliminate.

There is only one that I would keep:
