List Tuesday: Lose These Streets and Crowds



Christmas Songs I Can't Listen To

This will be a short list. I love Christmas music, but there are a few songs that I can't listen to. I don't hate them because, hey, they're still Christmas songs!

  1. Santa Baby - Madonna: The Eartha Kitt version takes Madonna's version out behind the shed, ties it to a pole and punches it once in the kidneys.

  2. The GD Barking Dogs - Jingle Bells: Actually, this one applies to any novelty songs in which samples of animal sounds at different pitches are strung together to make a melody.

  3. Silent Night - Chewbacca(?): Actually, this one applies to any novelty songs in which fictional creatures sing the melody. Stupid 101.4 FM.

  4. Up On the Roof Top - Any Version: There is a line that says "First comes the stocking of little Will." But no it doesn't. It doesn't, and that is shit.

you have to admit, that is a really annoying song.

Unfortunately (fortunately?) I don't know that song. Of the 174 Christmas songs on my iPod, the only Wilson Phillips song I have is Silent Night. It's not bad.

Wow. 174 is a lot.

The Paul McCratney Christmas song is incredibly terrible.

And at this hot bar I frequent for lunches, they play "All I Want For Christmas is You" on a continuous loop. That needs to stop.

WHAT??? You think "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" is terrible? Well, kinda it is, but I can still listen to it.

As to songs being played on continuous loops, there are only about 3 that I can handle. Christmas songs anyway.

They are all by the Chipmunks. Those dudes are hilarious!!!!!
