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!

    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.

      Hee Haw, Hee Haw!

      …this dumbass song was in the holiday rotation at my old job. I didn’t quit because of it, but the thought crossed my mind several times a shift.

    Avoid - last Christmas. It’s not a Christmas song. It just happens to be at that time of year. It’s depressing and whiney and over played (even if it wasn’t irrelevant).

    There is a particular version of Carol of the Bells I quite like.

    Also, the Trans Siberian Orchestra turned out a couple great tracks as well.

    There are a few tracks by Frank Sinatra that sometimes get played as Christmas music which I won’t tolerate. I’ve never heard a Sinatra song I don’t physically hate.

      The physical reaction to Sinatra 😆 Is the Carol of the Bells instrumental or vocal? Are you thinking of John Williams’ version from Home Alone?

        The Home Alone version is in the ballpark; the version I’m thinking of I’m pretty sure was on a CD of Christmas music my parents had. The Home Alone version sounds like it was sung by a children’s choir. Then you get a lot of this version that is women plus instruments. The version I’m thinking of was choir only, ran a little faster, and had men in the choir. The sopranos still did most of the work but having some bass in the counter melody and chorus took the power up a notch.

        I’m gonna see if I can find that CD today.

    my favorites are Christmas Wrapping, Last Christmas (never got the hate!) and basically everything off of the Phil Spector and Mannheim Steamroller records. (edit: and Brian Setzer! how could i forget!) the only ones i really dislike are All I Want For Christmas Is You and any time someone covers and upbeat christmas song as an acoustic ballad- people think that’s an easy way to make something emotional and meaningful but it actually takes a lot of skill to pull of, and i’ve yet to hear anyone pull it off with a Christmas song!
