What is the holiday song that you really hate?

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas in case you would like to listen to the song.

All of them, I know, I’m a Grinch.

I gotta say rather alot of them. Some are less irritating than others, but when I walk into a restaurant or store and they’re playing holiday music, I find it DEEPLY annoying. Xmas music plays like 1/6th of the year now because it starts around Thanksgiving (sometimes before) and doesn’t end until WELL into January. And it’s the same 20 songs over and over and over, year after year. There’s no song ever recorded that I want to listen to that much.

Some people find it comforting or nostalgic. I find it deeply aggravating.

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.

Jingle Bell Rock.

The Sleigh Bell Song

I always thought I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus was insipid.

^^^^^ Whew! It is early morning and I have not had enough coffee. At first glance @cookieman I thought you wrote it was inspired.

I could live without hearing “The Little Drummer Boy” ever again – although in the right mood it can make me tear up. That’s the damn thing about Christmas songs!

“Feliz Navidad” is way too repetitive to me.

For me, it’s not the songs so much as playing them for 2–3 months that’s annoying, and radio stations and stores always seem to play the same ones over and over. I actually enjoy most Christmas songs. I also get annoyed at the singers who do remakes which tend to be bad – like so many have their own version of The Star-Spangled Banner.

Parapapapom.

Christmas at ground zero. Was funny 20 years ago.

Jingle bells,
Batman smells,
Robin layed an egg,
The Batmobile broke a wheel,
And the Joker got away.

I can’t think of any that I hate, but I find the Xmas Song melody to be the most boring of the genre.

Although I don’t think it’s anyone else’s favorite, Blue Xmas by Miles Davis is actually one of my faves.

One tune which I heard in the 80’s pronounces Xmas as “crease-moss”, which still amuses me. I love singing that one with no discernible key, as if it was a duet featuring Edith Bunker and Screech. ;p

I hate the chocolate Kisses on TV that play We Wish You a Merry Christmas. It was adorable when it first came out, but now I’m just so over it that I quickly mute it.

Baby It’s Cold Outside. The whole song seems creepy. He sounds like a closet rapist and she sounds like she stringing him along like a set up for a future court case.
After the first four words out of her mouth: “I really can’t stay.”, the very next words spoken should be: “OK Get your coat. I’ll drive you home.”
Full stop. Period. End of discussion.

I’m not a big fan of “Jingle Bell Rock.” i don’t like the tempo and the lyrics are bland, but I know it was trendy at the time it came out and it’s probably one of the most popular holiday songs.

@LuckyGuy – another take on that song is that she wanted to stay “overnight” but didn’t want to seem “loose” to the other guests so was making lame excuses until they all left.
