OK folks, tell me which Xmas songs make you want to take an ice pick to the forebrain. Fellow retail wage slaves have been listening to the same dang songs since before turkey day. Air your grievances.
Here's my list:
The Madonna version of Santa Baby where she sounds like Betty Boop. I love the Eartha Kitt version, which is playful and sardonic, but the Madonna one is pure auditory torture.
Do They Know it's Christmas by a bunch of fat, rich British guys. It's not the drippy sentiment - that condemns most all xmas songs - it's the FACTUAL ERRORS which are as follows:
1. "Do they know it's Christmas?" No, because THEY'RE NOT ALL CHRISTIAN. They don't care.
2. "There's no snow in Africa" Hello, ever hear of the snows of Kilimanjaro? Not all of Africa is veldt, it's a big fucking continent with a lot of climate variance.
3. If it were snowing, that would be really fucking weird because it's SUMMER there.
Sleigh Ride. If I have to hear those cursed chestnuts pop pop pop one more time, I'm going to go on a killing spree.
There's also the Christmas Shoes, but I actually don't mind this one so much because I enjoy listening to my sister's frothing, venom-dripping rant about how much she loathes this song whenever it comes on the radio. And this is the gal who listens to bluegrass music on purpose.
