I cannot tolerate Babs but that 'Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer' makes me crack up... Douglas doesn't like the Babs song because she is a Jewish gal singing Christmas tunes. I feel exactly the same way about diva Mariah Carey and 'All I Want For Christmas', it just reeks with insincerity!Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-63921313131272190892008-12-15T19:15:00.000-06:002008-12-15T19:15:00.000-06:00HAHA holy shit I thought my blog was good... <BR/><BR/>you're hilarious... p.s.

Ten minutes after I told a workmate about how much I hate 'Christmas Shoes' her friend called and out of the blue said "I just heard the best Christmas song ever..."

No new shoes. The one who get the new shoes- dies!<BR/><BR/>Hey, here in Houston if you want to hear about six of those songs, just turn on 99.1 FM and listen for a half-hour.<BR/><BR/>If you listened for ten minutes you idn't listen to all of them. Approximatley three minutes each times nine equals 27 minutes.

Your self-sacrifice has allowed the rest of us to - - wait - - YOU did this to US! It's like you opened Pandora's Box or let the gremlins get wet. Damn it! I want the last ten minutes of my life back! Chipmunks! Cindy Lauper! I was a little weepy today for reasons that had nothing to do with bad Christmas songs but you just made it much, much worse. <BR/><BR/>JK. Really funny, Alan. I'm gonna get you some new shoes and save Christmas.Charlihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03658855543720819878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-59032672585292999142008-12-14T13:19:00.000-06:002008-12-14T13:19:00.000-06:00Dr. Zibbs- Yeah, they annoy almost beyond belief. So far the harshest comments seem to be for The Chipmunks and Madonna's 'Santa Baby'. But for me still the sentimaental pap of those 'Christmas Shoes' gets turned off the quickest.Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-82471883280068821172008-12-14T12:58:00.000-06:002008-12-14T12:58:00.000-06:00I hate those chipmunks!Dr Zibbshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570006777738622727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-59638850210564810602008-12-14T10:15:00.000-06:002008-12-14T10:15:00.000-06:00Douglas- Yes, she is talented and I just don't like her take on the song, too fast... But you are right, it must have been for the cash, a Christmas classic can be like a gold mine. I read that not the original writer but the person who saw the potential in "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" has earned 5 million dollars from the song. Talk about classics!<BR/><BR/>But you are right about her faith and the incongruity. Maybe she has been talking to Ann Coulter and it is an attempt to become a "perfected Christian"?Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-61999609529520707082008-12-14T10:10:00.000-06:002008-12-14T10:10:00.000-06:00CindyLover1969- I had never heard 'Fairytale of New York', must not go over well with Texas radio. Finally tracked it down online, and it is way too slow and somber for me. Madonna's "Santa Baby' was well considered but in my humble opinion still eclipsed by a man singing it. Just creepy!Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-50543643339154152592008-12-14T07:22:00.000-06:002008-12-14T07:22:00.000-06:00There's a certain wrongness about Barbra singing a Christmas song. I mean she has a beautiful voice and presence but she's Jewish. This is not anti-semitic, it's more like the Pope leading evening prayers at Mecca. there's an incongruity here, if you know what I mean.Douglashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-15943217351017562032008-12-14T03:43:00.000-06:002008-12-14T03:43:00.000-06:00"OK, stop the anger, it was a good song, but along with Springsteen's 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town', hearing this one every 12 minutes has ruined it for me.!<BR/><BR/>That's exactly how I feel about "Fairytale Of New York" from the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, may she rest in peace...<BR/><BR/>That No Doubt song does deserve the response "WTF?" But it's still better than Madonna's version of "Santa Baby," of which no list of bad Christmas songs is complete without.Cindylover1969http://cindylover.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-85655952509672525742008-12-13T23:20:00.000-06:002008-12-13T23:20:00.000-06:00VanDerHoekArt, I will try to get a post up and let you know when. Your art is good, and will be presented well. Art is so subjective anyway. I did make fun of not Kieth Haring's art, but the pretentious commentary and fawning criticism in a book about him. Must have been written by his mom it seems.

Totally understood, I didn't like the task at hand either, lol. CHipmunks? Not this American's thing. I just let my daughter listen and on every one if I kept it on she begged me to stop it, if I stopped it she complained that she wanted "to hear the chorus". 'Do They Know It's Christmas' was considered, as was that song that says over and over "Mary did you know...", sounds like Kenny Rogers but not so sure.Robot Ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03776155543265023418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735396231973609726.post-28765246072196868582008-12-13T23:06:00.000-06:002008-12-13T23:06:00.000-06:00Cindy Lauper's Christmas Conga!? Oh that is so wrong! And No Doubt, what were they thinking, I thought they could do no wrong...WTF?<BR/><BR/>Great list! It was fun to go through them all. I have to admit that I skipped Alvin and the Chipmunks because I didn't want to spend the rest of the night banging my head against the wall trying to get that song out of my head.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog!
