Col. Crackpot's 4th annual crappy Christmas music thread!!
Tis the season... for shitty music! AND a glorious SD.net Tradition!
Countless radio stations across North America have begun playing all holiday music, all the time! Sure, there are some gems, such as Barenaked Ladies/Sarah McLachlin's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Bruce Springsteen's Santa Clause is coming to town. This thread is NOT about those! This thread is dedicated to the bottom of the barrel: The sappy, the crappy and the just plain offensive! Speak! Share! Vent!
my latest list of gripes:
Christmas in America: repetitive, sickeningly sweet god bless America shit.
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer: do I have to explain?
Feliz Navidad: Jose Feliciano needs to be flogged and shot for infecting our collective conciousness with this catchy little ditty.
Do they know it's Christmas time? Well intentioned, but shit nonetheless. Boy George, Bono and Bob Geldorf are right. There won't be christmas in Africa this year. Not because of poverty, but because they're not christians you stupid fucks!
your turn folks! Have at it!

I'll go ahead an Suggest some music from the Byzantine Catholic Rites. A lot of the Music They use in thier Divine Liturgy is much more beautiful than the Gregorian Chant and the modern hymns that we Latin Rite Catholics use in our masses. The difference between Eastern Hymns and Gregorian Chant is the fact they only use 8 tones and no musical instruments to accompany the vocalists. The only draw back is that unlike the Latin rite Hymns and chants you have either a vague understanding of what they are signing about or have a chopped up and bastardized English version, the eastern Catholics sign thier liturgy in Greek, Aramaic, Ukranian, Armenian or Arabic.

"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

"Rockin around the Christmas Tree" - playing this once every few days gets annoying. Playing this at least 2-3 times a day makes me want to microwave the radio.
"And the sign said, 'Anybody caught tresspassing, will be shot on sight.' So I jumped over the fence and yelled at the house, 'Hey! What -'" BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM*BAM
Other than the ones currently mentioned:
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - A bad song to begin with, but a few years ago they had a bunch of pre-teen boys singing it boy-band style in a Gap commercial, and I think that's the only time I've ever seriously wanted to kill children.
"Simply Having a wonderful Christmastime" - just really annoys me for some reason

That isn't exactly the purpose of the thread, but I'll go ahead and say that that is possibly the best thing I've seen within the week. I'd certainly prefer Byzantine Chants to Christmas Music, even if I can't understand a word beyond "Christos". Audio quality's a bit low, though.EmperorSolo51 wrote:I'll go ahead an Suggest some music from the Byzantine Catholic Rites. [...]

What is really sad... I grew up with Xmas songs being played daily in my house, because my mom loved them. So I love hearing Xmas songs this time of year, even the cheesy ones.

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

I like Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas music, but their DVD is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Honestly the bandmembers are the ugliest motherfuckers alive.

Don't let the Bells End by The Darkness.
It will annoy me more than the others for many reasons such as the following:
a. My brother thinks it is a good song. When it really isn't.
b. I can remember a sweet and happy time before it even existed & I know that that time is gone because it will get drudged up every bloody year.
c. I hate the Darkness.
d. The song doesn't even make any sense.

Jingle Bells. Not the song itself (even if it's massively oversung, often by retards that only know the chorus), but the half assed parodies that everyone just has to sing...
I'm going to slap the next 13 year old I catch singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells..."

If You are looking for higher Quality Byzantine "Divine Liturgy" (The eastern rite name for Mass) Audio files, then I suggest Byzantine Radio. Though I should warn you, they are done in flash player, so I suggest you use an audio ripper that can catch background noise if you want to convert them to Mp3s.MRDOD wrote:

Virtually any pop remake of a Christmas song annoys the living piss out of me. And I've always, always hated "Little Drummer Boy" with a passion.

I'm not that much of a Diana Krall fan to begin with, and having her Christmas Songs CD become the unofficial office music album isn't helping. The songs aren't bad & I've heard a lot worse, but with the constant daily replay it's really starting to grate on my nerves...

Oh yeah, "Oh Tanenbaum" grates my nerves as well. The song just proves that nothing can sound inviting or wholesome when spoken in German. When I first heard the song as a child, "tanenbaum" sounded like a Nazi super-weapon. I surmised that this weapon, the "Tannen Bomb", was essentially a bomb with Biff Tannen-like characteristics of being exceedingly large and powerful but stupid.
I had no idea why my mom would play such a horrifying song at Christmas time, but you can bet I was having the dog sniff my presents before opening them.

Has anyone here heard that song, "Christmas Shoes"? I hate that song with a passion. It's so sappy.
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.
