Your Most Hated Christmas Song, 2022 Edition
« on: December 01, 2022, 01:50:36 pm »
It's time for that old Cauldron tradition of having a thread for griping about those cheesy, insipid, overplayed Christmas songs that make us want to get a copy on vinyl or CD for the sheer satisfaction of smashing it to bits. This is that thread!

I've been thinking about what I'd pick to start the ball rolling, and what I keep coming back to this year is 'Winter Wonderland'. This is partly because, when I was in seventh grade, our homeroom teacher made the class practice and practice it (I have no recollection of there being a performance we were practicing for) until we we'd had enough of it to last a lifetime, but I didn't care much for it even before that; it's a sappy, soppy piece of mid-20th-century seasonal glurge.

What's your most hated Christmas song, either perennially or this year?

Your post made me laugh so I forgive you for getting that aural abomination stuck in my brain.

While I still despise the song, I have been much more cheerful about hating it since I saw someone point out that if you compare the lyrics of the verse to the refrain it sounds like a coven frantically trying to cover up their solstice rituals when someone unexpected comes to the door.

I ran across a new one (new to me at least) on the muzak at the grocery store - I don't know the title, but it's something about 'a sad pup in the christmas shop'. It was one of those shmaltzy midcentury ballads and I was annoyed before the end of my first time hearing it.

It's hard pick, having worked in a chain craft store for 3 Christmases. It's between Mele Kalikimaka (too touristy) and Santa Baby for me.

Honorable mention is the entire album of reggae Christmas music one of my art teachers in high school played during the entire month of December. After playing only one reggae album all day every day from August to November.
