Best & Worst

[Lilith]

holiday songs?

[LixyChick]

Best...Burl Ives "Holly Jolly Christmas" *giggle* Can you tell I just recently watched "Rudolph"?

Worst...That dog barking one (blocked out name)!

[BIBI]

My mother, bless her soul purchased the "Barking Dogs" Album for my kids many many years ago and they loved it......so did my dog! I just about lost my mind.

I agree with Lixy!

The best to me, for purely sentimental reasons is, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"

LOL! ^5 BIBI!

There's another one of similar fashion to the dog barking one. Has a woman "laughing" all the X-Mas tunes that we know and love. It's just as, if not...more, awful than the dogs!

OMG.....my mom would have been right there to buy that one too!

I used to love Jingle Bell Rock, even sang it in choir etc. BUT...they've played it to death on the radio, and I'm sorry to say I don't want to hear it for awhile now lol...
We also sang O Holy Night, I love to listen to it, but I like to sing it so much more, I love just belting it out ;)

[osuche]

I like this one...

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Hirten erst kund gemacht;
Durch der Engel Halleluja
Tönt es laut von fern und nah.
Christ der Retter, ist da.
Christ der Retter, ist da.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus Deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund',
Christ, in Deiner Geburt
Christ, in Deiner Geburt

[scotzoidman]

Guess I've gotten tired of all of em, but especially done to death is "Grandma got Run Over By a Reindeer"...sheesh, that was only funny for about the 1st 1,000,000 times

[Scarecrow]

Best is a toss up between Little Drummer Boy and Gramma got run over by a Reindeer



Worst is what Lixy said.



TY osuche for bringing back younger times

[maddy]

Silent Night is my favorite as well... a church I used to attend would start with the first verse in German as osuche presented and then switch to the English version. For some reason a full church singing in perfect German would send chills up and down my spine.

[Vullkan]

The song "Your a mean One" is about my favorite x-mas song

"your a mean one Mr Grinch...."

[Mae]

I have to confess to having the barking dogs AND the meowing cats Christmas cd's. My husband plays the cat one, and our malamute goes nuts trying to find them. Sad. The hybrid tries to bark along with the dogs. Least favorite song? How about album? "Christmas With The Happy Crickets" was given to me as a child. Sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks wired up for the Indy 500. Very annoying. Favorite song? Has to be from the "Merry CHristmas Johnny Mathis" album..."Winter Wonderland". I even found an ornament, a few years ago, with him standing and holding his skis. You press a button and it plays the first part of the song. :)

[OzKristin]

ooh! I'm such an idiot lol...my fave songs (covers) by my fave people..Last Christmas done by Darren Hayes and Come Home for Christmas by Bon Jovi :drool: :wiggles: hehe

[gekkogecko]

How could you forget the classic "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"?

Then, there's crap like what Lixy said.

[DangerousPet]

has anyone ever heard the redneck version of "on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me..." it's funny. I think by allen jackson?


*can you tell i grew up in central pennsylvania?

[dicksbro]

Best ... So many favorites, but "The Little Drummer Boy" ranks right up there with "Silent Night" and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"

Worst ... I'll go with Lixy, too.

[lizzardbits]

My two favorites are "Joy to the World" and "Carrol of the Bells"

"Joy to the World" will always be my M&M (and M&M as the candy) song. When I was little :baby: , that song was sung all the time at Grandpa and Grandma's church, and at that time i couldn't read or understand the lyrics. So when the song came around to "And Heaven and Nature sing, and heaven and nature sing..." I thought that everyone was singing " And M&M nature sing, and M&M nature sing..." HAHA i still catch myself singing it that way now!

Then "Carrol of the Bells" done back in the 80's Claymation-style, that just makes me fall over laughing!

i don't have any particular songs that i hate, i just don't like the departments store musaq Christmas songs being piped it. YUCK! i would rather listen to Kenny G! :hair: :yikes:

[Oldfart]

Frosty the Pervert always had a certain ring to it.

Franz Bauer's "Stille Nacht" is great, and me with no German blood.

"Australian Jingle Bells" for the locals.

"Driving through the dust,

In a rusty Holden Ute...." ah, poetry!

[Aqua]

Fave... Hmmm, prolly Carol of the Bells. Especially the Trans Siberian Orchestra version called Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24. I also really like Bob Seger's version of Little Drummer Boy.

Oh, and Bob and Doug's 12 Days of Christmas makes me laugh.

Worst... Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I never liked that song.

[Cassiopeia]

Hm...

I've always been partial to Auld Lang Syne. I know its more for New Years, but whenever I hear it after the clock strikes midnight, I always get a little teary eyed. :)


Worst... Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I never liked that song.

Have to agree with Aqua on that one!

That TSO version is incredible. I love it.

I heard Gary Hoey's version of "The Grinch" and found it quite entertaining...but difficult to sing along with. ha ha

The "Italian version" of the 12 Days of Christmas is pretty good too. :D

And I have to agree with my fine furry friend in casting a vote for "Grandma" as the worst ever.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<---is a HUGE Christmas song fan...but there are a couple that "hit" me more than others, for sentimental reasons. Every Christmas, my sister and I would postition ourselves on our backs under my grandparents' Christmas tree and sing along to my grandfather's Gene Autry ("Here Comes Santa Claus," "Rudolph") and Brenda Lee ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," "Jingle Bell Rock") albums. Followed, of course, by the entire Chipmunks Christmas splendor. :D

[Lilith]

I will always love the Charlie Brown Christmas Song....I think of Skipthisone everytime I have heard it this season.

[Aqua]

Ah yes... that's good stuff right there! :D

[maddy]

Someone mentioned department store musak - which reminded me (along with pulling out my CD's to take to the office) ... I love listening to Mannheim Steamroller, particularly when I am somewhere like work and just want something festive in the air.

I've also always enjoyed Thistlehair the Christmas Bear by Alabama and a college favorite John Denver and the Muppets version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas"... I sooooo love Animal on the song (won't go! won't go! won't go!!!) and Miss Piggy thinking they are saying PIGGY pudding instead of FIGGY pudding *cracks up all over again* ... My roommate and I had this as our answering machine message at Christmas time.

[Midnight Kiss]

Hummm, growing up it was always "Little Drummer Boy" but the past few years it has been "Jolly old St. Nicholas lean your ear this way...Don't you tell a single soul a word I have to say....." Maybe because it is one that you very seldom hear. Can't think of any I hate off hand, but alot I get tired of hearing over and over again.

[cowgirltease]

The best..Grandma got run over by a reindeer. :D

The worst.......... anything by the chipmunks.
