Hey Lemmy!
What’s that one song comes on the radio or party and you’re filled with joy? Or perhaps it’s a carol and it makes you feel alright. What is it?
Then there’s the song that makes you flinch and cringe, and you’ve gotta shut that song down. What is it?
Your favorite and your despised!
New fave Christmas jam - Megan Trainor feat. Earth, Wind and Fire - Holidays
All time fave - Dominick the Donkey
Please never again - Mariah Carey anything.
Please never again - Mariah Carey anything.
😆
Mariah Carey has been so overdone she’s now Pariah Carey.
Does anyone actually play Dominick the Donkey?
The only time I’ve ever heard it was whenever someone else says “What’s Dominick the Donkey?” and someone finds it on YouTube.
On my personal playlist, along with “Nestor, the Long Ear Donkey”.
Avoid - last Christmas. It’s not a Christmas song. It just happens to be at that time of year. It’s depressing and whiney and over played (even if it wasn’t irrelevant).
Ballad of New York - The Pogues
Fairytale*
Avoid: The Christmas Shoes
Jam: Oi to the World by The Vandals
The whole Xmas With the Vandals album is great. Shoutout to the Angry Snowmans, too.
One of these years I’m going to make it to the Vandals Christmas Formal
I want to get a kindergarten class to sing “Grandpa’s Last Christmas”
A must-sing-along fav: Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
Never again: that one about the boy buying shoes for his dying mother (not even gonna link)
Oh my goodness, Christmas Shoes is the worst.
Favorites: Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters - Mele Kalikimaka and The Drifters - White Christmas.
Least Favorite: I don’t think i have one. Can even listen to Mariah once or twice. It is Christmas after all.
Heat Miser - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Went to their concert a couple weeks ago. I’ve never heard anyone play that song in concert. I love that song & movie.
Had enough of “Feliz Navidad”.
Merry Christmas!
Shipshewana? I just saw that show, too! My family watched The Year Without Santa Claus yesterday and the music was so great. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy did a great job, it was awesome
The concert was: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
That Spirit of Christmas, by Ray Charles. Featured in the attic projector scene in Christmas Vacation
Fav: War is over - John Lennon Least favourite: Meghan Trainor anything
I’m a big queen fan and I love Thank God it’s Christmas. I also love Jona Lewie’s Stop The Cavalry, which isn’t really a Christmas song, but only gets played at Christmas. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is my favourite traditional recording. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano needs to be binned forever.
There is a particular version of Carol of the Bells I quite like.
Also, the Trans Siberian Orchestra turned out a couple great tracks as well.
There are a few tracks by Frank Sinatra that sometimes get played as Christmas music which I won’t tolerate. I’ve never heard a Sinatra song I don’t physically hate.
The physical reaction to Sinatra 😆 Is the Carol of the Bells instrumental or vocal? Are you thinking of John Williams’ version from Home Alone?
The Home Alone version is in the ballpark; the version I’m thinking of I’m pretty sure was on a CD of Christmas music my parents had. The Home Alone version sounds like it was sung by a children’s choir. Then you get a lot of this version that is women plus instruments. The version I’m thinking of was choir only, ran a little faster, and had men in the choir. The sopranos still did most of the work but having some bass in the counter melody and chorus took the power up a notch.
I’m gonna see if I can find that CD today.
On: Chiron Beta Prime Off: The Mariah Carey song
ms parker by chance the rapper is so smooth… honestly people sleep on his christmas album…
and as someone that has worked at a store… you already know.
I’ve been saying it for years, the only good Christmas song is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.
On: A Marshmallow World by Dean Martin. Off: Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer.
