Holiday Songs You Dislike

[Babs Johnson]

Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney is probably the worst.

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

And the Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler was amusing at first but now it’s like fingernails on a blackboard.

 

[MIGrandma]

I agree with you on Wonderful Christmas Time, also for me is Feliz Navidad.

 

[RedAngie]

Anything that’s NOT a Christmas song.

My Favorite Things
Winter Wonderland
Baby It’s Cold Outside
Frosty the Snowman
Le T*ts Now

 

[DLgal]

Anything overly religious. I don't care to hear someone crooning about Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus. I heard one song the other day that made me feel like I was in church and it was so off putting.

We celebrate secular Christmas in this house.

I think that "Last Christmas" by Wham is the one I hate the most now... I dunno, it just irritates me to no end.

Also some of my all-time dislikes are,

"Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time"
and
"Feliz Navidad"

I also cannot stand that old version of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas", is it Perry Como? I guess it is OK, but when they start whistling, NO JUST NO. I hate the sound of whistling.

Wow I am really worked up today

And the Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler was amusing at first but now it’s like fingernails on a blackboard.

I forgot about that "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" that one is terrible too!

Oddly enough I find the Adam Sandler Hanukkah songs to be great, I love them

I just now remembered "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".... that song makes me want t just hurt somebody. It is SO annoying.

Thankfully I have not heard that one with dogs barking Jingle Bells in a long time too.

I really don't like Santa Baby, I Want A Hippo...., and All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth.
All are irritating and horrible.

My most loathed Christmas song of all time is “Christmas Shoes.” It’s just a travesty to the entire Christmas season & never should have been produced.

I also can’t stand Porky Pig’s version of “Blue Christmas” or the dogs barking “Jingle Bells.”

”Do They Know It’s Christmas” is depressing, & Pentatonix’s versions of any Christmas songs get on my nerves after a while.

Otherwise, I pretty much enjoy all the Christmas music - the religious ones are beautiful & meaningful, & the silly ones are fun & festive. One of my favs is “I Wanna a Hippopotamus for Christmas, & I love “Santa Baby” - just not Madonna’s version at all.

Anything that’s NOT a Christmas song.

My Favorite Things
Winter Wonderland
Baby It’s Cold Outside
Frosty the Snowman
Le T*ts Now

I agree that songs like “Winter Wonderland,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Frosty the Snowman,” & “Let It Snow” aren’t really Christmas songs, &, w/ the exception of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” I have these songs on my January playlist instead of my Christmas playlist. (“Baby, It’s Cold Outside“ is on both.)

I DO have “My Favorite Things” on my Christmas playlist (& January playlist as well), & my younger son strongly agrees w/ you! Every time it plays, he complains that it is NOT a Christmas song!

I agree. This one makes me grind my teeth.

 

[PollyannaMom]

My most loathed Christmas song of all time is “Christmas Shoes.”

Absolutely!! That's the one that makes me change the station!

”Do They Know It’s Christmas” is depressing,

I agree. Christmas songs should not be sad, period.

Christmas Shoes, Do they Know it’s Christmas, Text Me Merry Christmas, Underneath the Tree by Kelly Clarkson, Little Drummer Boy, Do You Hear What I Hear

 

[Mysterian]

I had to look up “Christmas Shoes” on YouTube. Ug, never again, ignorance is bliss.

Barbara Streisand’s version of “Jingle Bells” will have you emptying Taco Bell sauce packets into your eyes.

 

[fortwildernessishome]

Grandma got run over by a reindeer is horrible! I hate it. If it comes on my radio, I change the station. I also dislike the Alvin and the Chipmunks one too.

 

[marthachick]

Christmas Shoes and Do They Know it’s Christmas?

 

[Mysterian]

Christmas Shoes and Do They Know it’s Christmas?

Ug! Yes! Forgot about Band Aid. It was the British We Are the World. For a good cause at least.

 

[nerdboyrockstar]

I will not accept any Wonderful Christmastime slander! Total classic and I love it in any incarnation.

 

[Skywalker3]

I have never heard of "Christmas Shoes. " just found it on youtube. It was sweet, but too sad, in the vein of "Roses for Mama, ' and that kind of thing.
Also do not like "Mary did you know?"
I love old Christmas hymns, many of my favorites versions came from a Boone Family Christmas album. I do not like a lot of new takes on the old songs,

 

[RedAngie]

Barbara Streisand’s version of “Jingle Bells” will have you emptying Taco Bell sauce packets into your eyes.

I like Barbra Streisand in general but she should not be singing ANY Christmas songs.
