I have another one to add to the list. I just heard it on the radio. "Walking round in Women's Underwear" to the tune of Winter Wonderland.

Christmas Shoes is pretty horrid, but no Christmas song but one has actually made me burst into tears in a public place. I wasn't sure of the name, as it was on the radio, but it's a twee little song warbled by a tiny child, all about how she wants Santa to bring their father, who is a military man deployed abroad, home in his sleigh for Christmas.

I have never before required being hugged by the near-stranger who was cutting my hair, but I did that day. Yes, I was already an emotional mess at the time, but that does not reduce the gut-wrenching, soul-killing abilities of this song. I'm sure if I heard it again, I would totally lose it.

Oh, I think I found it. "Bring Him Home Santa!". For the love of all that's holy, don't listen to it! The horror! It has it's own webpage!

An earworm (the scientific term for a song you can't get out of your head) that I am "hearing" right now is "Mele Kalikimaka."

In our community chorus we had a Hawaiian native. Lani performed a hula dance to that song a couple of years ago in our Christmas concert. Lani passed away this past summer, and we are singing it again as a tribute to her.

^^^ Speaking of ear worms, I had surgery earlier this year. I noticed when they took me into the operating room that a country and western station was playing on the radio. For several days after surgery this one C & W song kept playing in my head. So when I decided to have bariatric surgery one of the first questions I asked the doctor was what type of music he plays in the operating room. Laughing

I've never heard of the hedgehog song before. Is there a place on the internet where I can find it? Very Happy

I just heard a very interesting arrangement of "Joy To the World" - on bagpipe. Mr. Green

(I actually love bagpipe music, but some songs - like "Yankee Doodle" and standard Christmas carols - just sound odd on the pipes.)

I listened to the entire Christmas Shoes. I managed one verse and one chorus of this one. Wow.

Didn't know where else to put this? But now I have this song going through my head - Grandma got bit by a Bobcat. Laughing

Owner of big cat who bit NJ Santa comes forward

HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Santa Claus won't need rabies shots after all.

It turns out that a large kitty that drew blood after biting a volunteer Santa Claus at a charity event in New Jersey had been properly vaccinated.

The cat's owner, Christine Haughey, came forward and produced vaccination records after learning that 47-year-old Jonathan Bebbington, the Santa, might have to receive the shots.

Bebbington says the cat bit his wrist and hand Sunday after becoming terrified because dogs were nearby at the Santa Paws photo event for an animal-rescue group.

The 25-year-old Haughey left after the attack.

Haughey tells WMGM-TV that her cat Benny is a mix between a house cat and a bobcat.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not Christmastime until I've listened to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

"Fairy Tale of New York" by the Pogues and the late Kirsty McColl, brilliant because it's a total pisstake and I love it even more now that the lefty PC wankers of the BBC banned it (because it contains the word 'faggot' in case anyone doesn't know).

Mary's Boy Child by Boney M ..... and Johan Lewie "Wish I could be home by Christmas" are my other favourites.

Yep that gets my goat...........but what's your favourite. Mine is Fairy tale of New York by The Pogues

Edit to add http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NrAwK9juhhY

I finally listened to this all the way through. I found it hard to understand the lead singer of the Pogues. Didn't catch half the lyrics. Sorry.

Here are the lyrics

Quote:

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

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

Watching them on YouTube is rather offputting, seeing the toothless drunks lurching around on stage.

The Pogues are older and no less repellent looking on this version, but the presence and voice of the beautiful Katie Melua, who also spent part of her childhood in Belfast, Kirst'y McColl's home town, makes up for it.
