George Michael - 'Last Christmas' [I like some of George Michael's music, but there's something just really irritating about this one] 'Dear Mr. Jesus' -- that little girl singing about her abusive parents. Yes, child abuse is a terrible thing, but this song is so annoying. 'Please don't tell my daddy, that my mommy hits me too.' and in the same vein... 'Christmas Shoes' -- I don't care for this one either. Maybe I'm a Scrooge, but this song seems very fake and sappy. 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer' -- just dumb. 'Little Drummer Boy' -- pretty boring and annoying no matter who is singing it.

Originally Posted By alexbook I don't think there are any Christmas songs that I dislike on their own, but repetition can be a problem. "White Christmas," Pachelbel's "Canon," "Silent Night," "The Dreidl Song," and "Little Drummer Boy" are some that get ruined by overexposure, IMHO.

(Who, come to think of it, aren't people anyway.) I can at least stand just about any Christmas song that does not involve Mariah Carey. And for some irrational reason, I fly into a blind rage whenever some fool throws "My Favorite Things" into the mix. NOT A CHRISTMAS SONG, PEOPLE!

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Jim! You nailed it for me with "Christmas Shoes" ... That song is the single most depressing tune our seasonal "all-Christmas music" station plays. To me it isn't even a Christmas song. It belongs out there with Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey." Gack.

It's too dang funny! <a href="http://www.blueyze.com/bluechristmas.html" target="_blank">http://www.blueyze.com/bluechr istmas.html</a>

Originally Posted By LadyKluck Agreed on the bubblegum pop songs like "Step Into Christmas" & "Last Christmas" - I also loathe "Do They Know Its Christmastime" or whatever the name of it is. NO they don't know its Christmas because they don't CELEBRATE Christmas! GAD! OK rant over...
Originally Posted By DAR Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer-I actually feel dumber everytime I hear it. Santa Baby-I hate any and all versions. Little St Nick by the Beach Boys-I can count on one finger how many Beach Boys songs I like (God Only Knows) The Christmas Shoes-The very defintion of sappiness. It actually makes me angry everytime I hear it. Personally if you ask me the mom in the song got off easy at least she wouldn't have to suffer through this crap song again.
