It's official! The Christmas season is upon us. Grandma got run over by a reindeer is playing on the radio. I remember driving from Illinois to South Dakota for Christmas when this song first came out. No matter what radio station I tuned in to the song was playing. By the time I got to my parents I was hoping there was a dead grandma in their yard along with a dead reindeer. Talk about ear worms. Does any else have Xmas songs that drive them crazy? |

Our Community Chorus is singing "Twelve Groovy Days of Christmas" this year - with gifts from the 70's. Things like "five golden mood rings," "four Volkswagen bugs," and "an 8-track by the Partridge Family."
It's funny, but when you rehearse it each week, it gets old very fast.
My favorite Christmas music is anything by Natalie Sleeth. "African Allelujah" is also up there at the top. (And no snide remarks, please.  ) |

Not a fan of Christmas at all. However, I'm quite fond of The Pogues and I love "Fairytale of NY".
My girlfriend swears I'm a cynical a-hole. |

I too spit feathers whenever I hear Fairytale of New York. If there is one Christmas song that is overplayed, it's that one. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but seven times a day is too fecking much. "Last Christmas" by Wham can feck right off too, overplayed bunch of 80's mawkish arse.
My favourites? "Step into Christmas" by Elton John, "Little drummer boy" by Bing and Bowie, "The most wonderful time of the year" by Andy Williams, and most special is "When a Child is born" by Johnny Mathis. That's the only one that holds any magic still, and gives me shivers up the spine. |

"FairyTale" is rarely if ever played on the radio here in the States. I absolutely dread listening to any radio station, except maybe NPR, from Thanksgiving until after Christmas. Most of it is cheesy, horrid crap that will literally cause me to twitch with rage. |

LDB by Bing and Bowie is my ALL Time fav Christmas song. As for Christmas itself, not a big fan.
As with SSA above, my ex wife thinks im a cynical a-hole. In the same breath she'll tell everyone Im a great dad and the best EX husband ever. She's a strange one that woman, lol |

I'll Be Home for Christmas is probably my favorite. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and Santa Baby by Madonna are like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears. |

Just about anything with enough air-time becomes annoying very fast. Fairy Tale of New York is good, but if you listen to the lyrics it's actually rather sad. My favourite has to be "I believe in Father Christmas" by Toyah Wilcox. Definitely no over-exposure worries with that one. |

I rather liked "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"... the one time I heard it, at camp, when I was a tweenager.
I suspect I might not find it as funny now. |

Yup, and that's why I like it. I'm a big Pogues fan.
I'm not a fan of Christmas and although I should celebrate Hannukah, I can't afford gifts for 8 nights. |

Alvin and the Chipmonks rendition of "All I want for Christmas (is my two front teeth)*
I still like Grandma got run over... 
I also like all of the old favorites by the old artists. 
*"aaaah... Happy New Year." (He couldn't say "Merry Christmas" because of the missing teeth.) |

Anything played enough will grow old very very quickly
My poor son works part time ( well full and overtime at present ) in as upermarket. Last thing he wants to hear when he comes home isa tinkling Xmas tune. Same with my daughter working in a bar
I was shopping the other day, griiting my teeth to the muzak when some kind soul pulled the Xmas tunes and played Biffy Clyro "Mountains"
I listen to a nice gentle cd Gordon Giltrap guitar version of tunes " On a midnight clear "
I like the traditional songs from my childhood -
Slade Merry Xmas Everybody and Wizzard I wish it could be Christams everyday  |

This song is dedicated to larry.
To the tune of Snoopy's Xmas, all together now...
The news had come out, Febru'ry four
Days until Christmas, just three twenty four
The populace panicked and started to groan
Why couldn't that fat man just leave us alone?
Twas months before Christmas, so far ahead
The junk mail was printed, all coloured red
They tried to resist but it all came to naught
With motives of greed the consumers were caught
(Chorus)
Christmas songs, those Christmas songs
Playing through the land
Such a lot of gibberish
More than I can stand
The shops had the suckers dead in their sights
The kids had their parents, demanding their 'rights'
Why don't we rebel, well, we'll never know
Is it because we just like the show
CHORUS
It's all about money and not about cheer
The bollocks and nonsense at this time of year
The plastic gets hammered against all the rules
While the bankers cry out "Merry Christmas, you fools!"
The shopping malls offer a holiday toast
But who do you think will benefit most?
A mythical figure just here for a day
But if I ever see Santa, I'll shoot down his sleigh
CHORUS x 2

Toyah covered that!! Is nothing sacred.
I'm still quite fond of Greg Lake's original - cheesy as hell though it is.
If there's a christmas song that makes me want to set fire to carol singer's it's that one by Chris De Bergh where the chorus goes "And it went: Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na" |

Yes, I didn't mean to imply otherwise, and No, not so long as you pay royalty.
Any version of that song is going to be cheesey, but Toyah does it with a naive charm that works.
I used to like "A Spaceman Came Traveling". But there is only so much Chris De Burg you can listen to before screaming "For Pity's Sake! Cheer Up!". |

Christmas is one the things the universe will miss when I demolish the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. You'll all be sorry and you'll wish you could hear all those good old Christmas songs again.
Up here in the constructor fleet, we often tune the radio to your Earth stations.
Our favourite are:
Fairy Tale of New York (Pogues + Kirsty)
I believe in Father Christmas (Greg Lake)
Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
We hate anything by Cliff, Elton, Wham.
See wiki for more info on I believe in Father Christmas |

Worst Christmas song: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QuyMy3xHeMY I had a college roommate who liked it, a lot, and played it over and over and over. 
Favorite Christmas songs are all of the traditional ones by Bing Crosby, Burle Ives etc. and the choral performances of Oh Holy Night, Carol of the Bells, etc. |
