Best & Worst Christmas Songs

Recommended Posts

There are a couple really good jazz remakes of "Sleigh Ride" that fun to listen to. Everything with the crap sounds of wanna-be jazz artist Kenny-G is on the bad list.

"X-mas with the family" by Robert Earl Keen is definately on the good list!
--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I hate almost every traditional, commercial christmas song ever made, with a few exceptions... names escape me presently.

but, good story, wifey and I hired a sitter tonight and went out christmas shopping... we got home and I tucked the kiddies in... Gabe, my boy who will be 7 one week before christmas asked where we went and did we have a good time... I said, oh yeah, we went christmas shopping! This year will be a good christas!

He said, Daddy, Every christmas is a good christmas!

just made me melt.

oh, me thinks I want to start another post in Speaker's Corner>:(.

I hate the stupid "santa clause is coming" "feliz navidad" songs, they have nothing to do with CHRISTmas>:(!!!!

On the other hand, I looooooooooooove songs like:
What Child Is This
O Holy Night
Carol of the BellsB|


Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

Feliz Navidad means Merry Christmas! :D



remember when jtval was getting those harassing calls by some hispanic person and he asked some willing dizzy.commers to return the favor?

well, I called once and sung Feliz Navidad... it was beautimous. The poor man just sighed and tolerated it, then hung up.

Best is a 2 way tie:
"I wish it could be Christmas Every Day" - Roy Wood & Wizzard

That song by The Pogues..... can't remember the title...

Worst was when David Bowie and Bing Crosby killed "Drummer Boy"
Pete Draper,

Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Feliz Navidad?
I thought it was, "No fleas on my dog"
:D

I love Little Drummer Boy
and all the "traditionals" except for Frosty the Snowman.

How about the theme song for "A Christmas Story"?
My reality and yours are quite different.

Classic: The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire)
For fun: Santa Baby, Madonna's version
For Hanukah: Adam's Sandler's Hanukah song still makes me giggle

Actually, I love Christmas songs. My daughter and I have already loaded up our cd player and she's been practicing the songs on the piano for months.

Not a big fan of:
Deck the Halls
Jingle Bells
The Twelve Days of Christmas
She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man,
because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

The Pogues - "Fairytale of New York:

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

...Truly one of the GREATS. Not many artists have crafted songs for us to appreciate once we hit the BOTTOM of the egg nog bowl.

Remember Sid, if Hope is an eager new puppy, Cynicism is just an old dog that's been beaten too much.

But the BEST of All Time is Father Christmas by the Kinks.
What can make you ponder the meaning of Christmas better than a song about fake Santa getting mugged by a gang of poor kids?!


And I LIKE Bing and Bowie!! Especially the cheesy old video from Bing's "All I Want for Christmas is a New Belt to Beat my Kids Special."

Ick. I prefer not to hear christmas songs.

the ones that are any good, have been played to death. The rest are mostly fluff.

If I was forced to make a decision, I'd pick somthing instramental, like Manheim Steamroller (cuz thats the only one I know).:S

I have been force fed Christmas music for so long I find it unpleasant. So I choose not to listen if I dont have to. :)

Oh man, he had some magic dust.......a little bit for the reindeer, a little bit for Santa Claus..... a little bit more for Santa Claus.....a little bit more for Santa Claus:D

Thanks. That reminds me of something else I need to download.

Make your answers count kids. I'll be using this as a study guide in case I get asked to DJ the Xmas Boogie @ The Farm

Best: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire by Nat King Cole
One that takes me back: Winter Wonderland by the Ray Connif singers (actually most of their carols "take me back.")
Fun: We're a Couple of Misfits from the Rudolph movie

Worst: that pop song "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Christmas!!!!!!
There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning
