I never ever get tired of Bing and the classics. But you can take Wham and Mariah Carey after a half of a song and keep em to yourself

This is an impossible thread to respond to because NO CHRISTMAS SONG is overplayed. At least in my house...

Enjoy, someday it will be illegal to play Christmas music, next thing you know they will be flying
airplanes into our skyscrapers.
 
I'm going to chime in as a Jewish objective poster here. The best Christmas song by far was, is, and always will be Silent Night. In fact, I might go so far as to say it is one of the best songs ever period. My personal favorite performance is Judy Garland.

Second best is Come All Ye Faithful IN LATIN. Always puts me in the spirit.

Back in the 80's a coworker of mine had a tape which he called 'Christmas songs by dead people'.
Now you could put together a multi volume set.
Karen Carpenter
Elvis
Bing Crosby
etc

Completely agree with #1. Pretty sure the devil wrote that song to undermine the entire Christmas spirit.

Also that Mariah Carey dreck seems to be on every time I listen.

no such thing as overplayed Christmas songs

what i lament is why as soon as Christmas day is over, the music stops...as a kid growing up I remember a lengthier period of XMas music all the way through New Years because its the whole season, nowadays it totally stop...take a listen this year

Completely boggles my mind the fascination with her versions of some of these songs. Blech!

That's because they now start playing it as early as right after Halloween.
 
Decent version of Wonderful Christmas Time on new Buffett Christmas album. Like that version a lot better.

This is probably the most ridiculous development of commercialized Christmas. Who wants to listen to Christmas music in early November but not when between Christmas and New Year's. Off the wall.
 
Nothing tops (or should that be bottoms out) the list like Jingle Bells barked out by a dog.

It really was unbelievable that first week after Halloween, I was driving along and while flipping the dial came across some station selectively playing Christmas music. The following week (11/6-11/12), I came across the first station that had elected to go all Christmas music all the time. The week after that, there were 3 stations that were doing that, including 106.7, the first major NYC station. Just.........UGH!!!
 
Went to a HS choir the other night which played zero traditional christmas songs, and it was awesome.

Sorry, but that was a dog choir. There's no way we have a Mariah Carey of dogs that can cover the whole range. Listen for yourself:

a)why make this connection? Do we really think the two are related.

b)The trend is too an ever growing christmas season. It goes on for months, it's all over the TV, all over the radio, it's every where. The idea that we are moving towards making it illegal? baseless.

Just today saw a company-sponsored advertorial that said something like "Instead of sending someone a Christmas card this year, why not get them a Christmas car?"

Why not? Because it's 40,000 times more expensive and I don't like my third cousins that much.

Rock Around the Christmas Tree.
 
3. Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney.
"Hey Paul, a lot of stars have their own Christmas song, you should do one too."
"Okay mate, give me five minutes, I'll crap one right out."

2. Step Into Christmas - Elton John.
This song is horrible, complete with weird sound effects that, to me, sound a lot like a toilet flushing. It's the perfect complement to the McCartney song.

1. Last Christmas - Wham.
My wife and I argue about this one a lot. She loves it and plays it on a freaking loop. "Let's put on some Christmas music." Dammit... I can't stand it. Just because you say the word Christmas over and over again, it does not make it a Christmas song. Other than the fact that he calls the song Last Christmas, give me one thing about the song that inherently captures anything about Christmas. Better yet, substitute any other holiday - or calendar date for that matter - for the word Christmas. The song still reads exactly the same way and makes perfect sense. "Last May 3rd, I gave you my heart." or "Last Roshashana, I gave you my heart. But the very next day, you gave it away." Roshashana probably goes better with the beat of the song actually. NOT A CHRISTMAS SONG.

These songs need to go into a sound eliminating vault, together with the artists who created them, and forever locked away.

I really like the classical classics.

Silent Night
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
O Holy Night
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
O Come All Ye Faithful

But my favorite is Joy to the World
That and O Holy Night
And Angels We Have Heard on High

Silent Night isn't even the best Christmas "night" song. O Holy Night kicks Silent Night's a$$ so hard, its lower intestine goes tunneling into the scrotum and flies straight out the urethra.

Have a great damn Chanukah. :grimace::p
