Is "Wonderful Christmastime" the worst fucking Christmas song ever?

[girlsmiley]

Atrocious. I lose my breath and it makes my skin crawl and my eyes go wide.

 

[FataMorgana]

Slade and Wizard do that to me. They are all bad. Fairytale of New York just been censored by the BBC as now considered offensive ffs.

I like the Greg Lake one best.

Tossers. Why didn't they just ban it if they're so offended?

They are all insipid. We even have a local radio station that is playing nothing but Christmas songs. I think every store that I walk into this time of year is operating off of the same damned play list in which Feliz Navidad dominates the rotation.

 

[silver gurl]

Yes..It really is.

 

[Tim2run]

Is that that WHAM song? If so, then yes, that is the fucking worst thing ever.

No it's Paul McCartney

In 1971, Lennon released the tune that goes by a couple of names, Happy Christmas (War is Over) or more simply. 'So This Is Christmas'

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young


Though I can't find it now, at some point in the 70s or 80s, it was used in a TV campaign against child hunger and poverty. Images of starving kids were shown as the words 'so this is Christmas' played. To this day, those words and that image is what I think of this time of year.

I can no longer tell the difference.

I think she is speaking of this one:
The moon is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The party's on
The feelin's here
That only comes
This time of year
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

That song, like most of the "modern era" Christmas songs, is junk that was probably written just to produce something so they wouldn't be in violation of their music contract's performance clause.

Write crap, toss it out there, and say; "Well there it is, I wrote a song so pay me another million."



Personally, I prefer Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" but that's mostly because it fits my vocal range and I know all the words.

 

[Tim2run]

I learned songs like Silent Night in German. That was just how our little community rolled.

 

[jaF0]

^^ Like all good little brownshirts.

 

[Tim2run]

Germans, Italians, Japanese and Native Americans fought valiantly for this country no matter what language they spoke at home. WTF happened to love of diversity? Are you one of those dreaded White Supremacists? The German community in America knew the folly of that, as did the Italians and Japanese (a slightly different viewpoint) and the Native Americans know first hand what happens when whites get wound up, so why don't you relax your White nonsense?

 

[Liar]

Clearly that goddam Band Aid song is the biggest musical crime against humanity ever.

 

[nowisthetime]

Little Drummer Boy takes the cake!

[RobDownSouth]

The "Christmas Shoes" song is my all time worst.

The Vienna Boy's Choir version of that is wonderful.

+1 It's the "Pac-Man Fever" of Christmas songs, and a blight that should be swept away like a shipwrecked Madonna.

In my house growing up we appreciated the classics, I mean... Nat King Cole, c'mon ya'll. But we sought out less traditional shit too and that often led to nauseating country smarm from the likes of Alabama or Alan Jackson. But it also led to true modern classics from Billy Idol, Mannheim Steamroller, and the pinnacle of Christmas joy for me: James Brown Funky Christmas.

I also liked the original "A Very Special Christmas" that featured tracks from Run-DMC, Annie Lennox, Springsteen, and what was for me back then a very moving "Little Drummer Boy" performed by Bob Seger.

I am fucking amazed that Fata hasn't mentioned Mistletoe and Wine.
