I love most Christmas carols/songs, but the station I am listening to is overdoing a couple. I have heard Paul McCartney singing "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" four times in two days.

And I cannot beleive how many renditions of "Santa Baby" there are out there. One sounds like Betty Boop; another version by Eartha Kitt; then today on the Muzak at work, I heard an instrumental version! Yikes!

Anyone else have any songs that push your buttons?

Santa Baby is one of the most annoying songs I have ever heard, all renditions are repulsive.

I like Santa Baby.... Esp. the Betty Boop version.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree gets on my nerves though.

Did you know he originally wrote "hungry heart" for the Ramones? But his manager convinced him to keep it for himself.

We wish you a merry Christmas, when I was in choir in my younger years the guy behind me used to spit on the word wish every time.

For many years I played a Freddy Fender x-mas tape that drove my family up the wall! I'd pack it away with the holiday decorations and as soon as the decorations were unpacked, Freddy started singing. My kids are now adults but still laugh about the horrible Freddy Fender Christmas music they were subjected during their formative years!

Darn, I wish I still had that tape!

I don't understand why that John Lennon pretest song always gets passed off as a Christmas song. It's an anti war, protest song.

How about the "Christmas" song by those known atheists XTC? I can't think of the name of the song, but it is cynical. Imagine that!

Does anyone else remember, "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth, my 2 front teeth, my 2 front teeth ...." ???

(it is not granny after the reindeer ran over her either)

Where the heart is
ANY Christmas carol sung by The Chipmunks!

However, I must admit a guilty pleasure to listening to the cats mewing the many carols this time of year...... It's kind of like popping bubble wrap when you have a hangover.
