Hey Lemmy!

What’s that one song comes on the radio or party and you’re filled with joy? Or perhaps it’s a carol and it makes you feel alright. What is it?

Then there’s the song that makes you flinch and cringe, and you’ve gotta shut that song down. What is it?

Your favorite and your despised!

    Least Favorite: I don’t think i have one. Can even listen to Mariah once or twice. It is Christmas after all.

      The whole Xmas With the Vandals album is great. Shoutout to the Angry Snowmans, too.

    I’m a big queen fan and I love Thank God it’s Christmas. I also love Jona Lewie’s Stop The Cavalry, which isn’t really a Christmas song, but only gets played at Christmas. Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is my favourite traditional recording. Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano needs to be binned forever.

    I love Cassie and Maggie’s Christmas album and their version of Star in the East. I don’t like Baby It’s Cold Outside because whatever the intent was it’s creepy.

    I’ve been saying it for years, the only good Christmas song is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.

    I like a lot of Christmas songs, but I’d probably just go for a good carol - Ding Dong Merrily On High, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Good King Wenceslas, that sort of thing.

    Songs to turn off:

    • Fairytale of New York
    • Last Christmas
    • 2000 Miles (The Pretenders)
    • Do They Know It’s Christmas
    • Stop the Cavalry

    I worked retail for a decade. I can’t imagine intentionally listening to any Christmas song after that.

    At my current job they played them through the whole shift today (luckily only today), and the two that really got to me were “All I want for Christmas is you” (don’t know the actual title, but 3 different recordings of it played) and that one nasally bitch with the death wish.

    I like Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett’s version of Baby It’s Cold Outside. I try to avoid most other Christmas songs, but especially Mariah Carey. I also worked in a department store for five years, so lots of bad memories of Christmas songs for months.
