Brendan, if you're interested I found a link with the lyrics. Fair warning: Do not read if you have eaten recently.

I can't stand Madonna's slaughtering of the "Santa Baby" song.

"What Christmas songs do you hate?"

all of them.

excluding traditional hymns which are beautiful even though I'm not really down with Jesus being a savior and all that.

My voice teacher tried to convince me to sing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" for a nursing home thing she's putting on...and I just downright said hellz no. I'm singing "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line at a Jewish nursing home instead. DDDDD I'm not Jewish.

Anything Elvis but especially Blue Christmas;

Dear Mr. Jesus...not a Christmas Song but this station in Buffalo plays it during the holidays. Makes me cringe:


Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you
Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news
A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue
Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you

Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand
Why they took her mom and dad away
I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands
Tell them just how big they are I pray

Please don't let them hurt your children
We need love and shelter from the storm
Please don't let them hurt your children
Won't you keep us safe and warm

Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die
Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain
I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky
So she would never have to hurt again

Please don't let them hurt your children...

Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do
And please don't tell my daddy
But my mommy hits me, too.

Please don't let them hurt your children...

Oh thank goodness someone mentioned the Hippopotamus song! I actually disagree with most of these (but I LOVE Christmas music), but I can't stand the Hippo song. And the Christmas Donkey song (you know, "Chinkity-chink, hee-haw, hee-haw, it's Dominick the Donkey. Chinkity-chink, hee-haw, hee-haw, the Italian Christmas Donkey."). They played it ALL the time on the radio.

And in terms of the grociery store radio situation--try living in Chicago during the World Series when they played Journey's Don't Stop Believing on constant repeat everywhere you went! The worst part was that they wouldn't play the whole song--they'd just playe "Don't stop believing..." Over and over and over and over again!

There's a Christmas DONKEY song? And it's not about Sam Wainwright?

Hey, it wouldn't be Christmas without "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"!

Plus there are a lot of songs I used to hate that have grown on me - like Jingle Bell Rock and Santa Baby (Kirstie Alley in her Pier One commercial did a LOT for that song!)

But Wonderful Christmastime - I had forgotten it existed until I read it in this thread and then my mind registered - oh yeah, that's that annoying noise I hear this time of year. It doesn't even register to me as a song, no less a Christmas song.
