From the first page, but you cant be referencing carol of the bells can you? I hate most christmas music cuz its all 800 years old and sounds the same but carol of the bells legit owns. Its the most ominous sounding christmas song.

Ugh Starbucks tortured me with 12 days of Christmas as sung by the muppets (good lord) followed by Wonderful Christmas Time, followed by some kind of corporate mandated Christmas rap song.

12 Days of christmas should be banned as a song, but at least when its sung by normal voices its easy to ignore. I keep hearing Mrs. Piggy squealing 'fiiiive golden riiiings' in the back of my mind.

She doesn't even say "golden" like the syllabic flow of the song goes and how every recording/performing artist has sung it for over two hundred years. She says "GOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDD" and fucks up the flow.

Like I said in the other thread, Frank Oz can burn in hell for that (but yeah, even the Muppets version of that song is terrible).

People make fun of Jingle Cats a lot, and rightfully so, because it's the most ridiculous goddamn thing ever... but my family actually had this in the mid-nineties, and we fuckin' loved the poo poo out of it! Irony didn't exist back then, you see. I've listened to the Meowy Christmas album so many times in my life that if they recorded it with different cat clips, I would notice. I would notice. That one in particular was the first track on the album, so whenever I heard those first few seconds, I got excited for cat noises. :3: My mom still plays it when we're all home for Christmas, and I can't listen to more than a few minutes without going insane, but the fond memories are there.

Now, though, with the marvel of modern technology and youtube, we can enjoy the creepy batshit insane videos they made to go with the songs. This one's even better:

Hey no, Christmas is really cool, even if there are bad parts. You do not even have to believe in the baby Jesus but still like cool stuff like snow and sparkly trees and holly and family traditions and all the other cool things around Christmastime.

Seriously what the gently caress is wrong with people who keep recording new versions of 12 days of christmas. At least Wonderful Christmas time could be counted as an individual fluke of pure awfulness but there are like hundreds of versions of 12 days of christmas and they all blow.

I worked at Sears in High School and there was a Christmas jingle that was about a minute and a half long promoting their Lands End merchandise and it is probably the worst Christmas-related thing I've ever heard. I don't think they could afford to pay anyone a decent amount of money for a song because not only are the lyrics horseshit but the guy who sang had an awful voice and the melody is still burned into my brain. I still haven't been able to find it outside of that one Christmas I worked and it's probably for the better but I still want to inflict other people with the pain I felt for loving months, day in and day out.

Seasons greetings from Lands End"

IMO there are far worse songs that keep getting new covers for some reason. One of those is Sleigh Ride, which is a good instrumental then at some point some rear end in a top hat decided it needed some lovely lyrics and the rest is history.

Part of what makes 12 days so obnoxious is the repetition and length. If it was 4 or 5 days of christmas I'd be more ok with it.

The drat local radio station keeps playing Peanuts music. Not Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas theme, but his Linus and Lucy that's universally known as "that Charlie Brown music."

Still better than the umpteenth version of the same few songs that are way longer than they have any right to be.

Linus and Lucy was written for the Christmas special and is on the album, so it technically passes muster.
