Horrible Christmas songs

In no particular order:


2. "Hard Candy Christmas" by Dolly Parton

3. And this whole album: Once Upon A Christmas by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers

4. "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney

5. Most of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's music. I guess I like some of it, but you can only play power chords and be overly dramatic so much before I get bored. It happens pretty quickly for me now.

More when they come to mind ...

What about that one about the boy buying shoes for his dying mother? It's just depressing. So depressing in fact, that Lifetime made a movie out of it, that's how bad it is.

I also don't like "Mary Did You Know?" The idea of the song is cool, and could have been really nice, but the song is just boring the way it's written.

I definately vote for " I want a hippotomus for Christmas"

Hmmm . . . I also hate "Mary, Did You Know" . . . it's simply a stupid song.

"Hard Candy Christmas" wasn't written for Christmas, but, in fact, for the musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas". But since it has the word "Christmas" in it, people feel it's okay to use the song this time of year.

The same could be said about "My Favorite Things". It's a song from "The Sound of Music". The only connection it has to this time of year is the line "Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes".

In any case, there you go.

Merry Christmas.
