R. Rich Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I've always loved 'Baby it's Cold Outside," and my personal favorite is Jordan/Fitzgerald. No question. Good choice. Ella's version of "Mack the Knife", though not a holiday classic, is pretty good, too.
buckeyemike Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I have three, and I've heard all three already this year (thank you, YouTube): "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" -- Bruce Springsteen "There's Something About Christmas Time" -- Bryan Adams Worst one has to be "Santa Baby" by Madonna, which I heard on Sirius Holly the other day. I won't bother linking to that steaming pile of fecal matter.
IDBillzFan Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I hate Sinatra and all the other Rat Packers... You are dead to me.
Ramius Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Favorites: "Blue Christmas" by the Eagles "So this is christmas" by John Lenon "All i want for christmas is you" by Mariah Carey Worst Xmas songs ever: "Santa Baby" by Madonna "I want a hippopotamus for christmas" by whoever the hell sings it
Johnny Coli Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 My all-time favorite X-mas song is by the Yobs, C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S./Gloria. Fabulously raunchy, and from an entire LP of punk Christmas songs the Yobs put out in 1980. Great stuff. --------- Slightly OT from the X-mas theme, but for the curious (you might as well learn a bit of rock trivia), the Yobs were an alt-band of the Boys, a pretty popular late-70s british punk group. Here is their cover of The Hollywood Brats' . Their keyboard player, Casino Steel was in the Hollywood Brats, a NY Dolls-type glam-punk band from the early 70s, and the Brats' singer, Andy Matheson guests on a couple of the Yobs songs (he's on the Run Rudolf Run cut, sadly not up on Youtube...I should upload it myself). Anyway, here's the Brats' version of Sick on You. I vary between which version I like more. Right now I like the Brats' version better, 'cause the guitars are jumping out at you and it was just so different for the time it was released, but the Boys' version has its merits--most notably its a bit faster with a bit more energy and to the point like a lot of the British punk coming out at the same time ('77).
GoodBye Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 When you hate tha song as much as I do... just that much may send me on a shooting rampage. Not funny. I've always loved 'Baby it's Cold Outside," and my personal favorite is Jordan/Fitzgerald. No question. Sorry, forget I posted that.
Mark Vader Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I like carol of the bells too, I dont even care if they play it as a WalMart commercial Or as a Garmin commercial.
/dev/null Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Or as a Garmin commercial. I can't stand that commercial. It's as annoying as saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave byyyyyyyyyyyyy zeeeeeeeeeerooooooo

I won't bother linking to that steaming pile of fecal matter. Thank you. Santa Baby is atrocious. But thats not shocking since it came from the most overrated entertainer of all-time. This is probably the one thing that you, a Buckeye fan, and me, a Wolverine fan, will agree on.
bills_fan Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 You are dead to me. I just picked this up from Target...noticed it as I was walking through. Very good album. Rat Pack X-Mas
Mark Vader Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I can't stand that commercial. It's as annoying as saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave byyyyyyyyyyyyy zeeeeeeeeeerooooooo Ok, the latest Garmin commercials have been nothing special, but the first one was brilliant. "There's the moose again". Come on, that is a classic.
Mark Vader Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Question for all of you. I have heard the Sound of Music song "My Favorite Things" played along with other various Christmas songs. I do not consider this to be a Christmas song. Agree or disagree?
buckeyemike Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 This is probably the one thing that you, a Buckeye fan, and me, a Wolverine fan, will agree on. :lol: We do agree on one other thing, though. My Favorite Things is not a Christmas song.
KD in CA Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I do not consider this to be a Christmas song. Agree or disagree? Definitely agree. I'll say "Christmas Time is Here" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Ramius Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 A Peter Griffin Christmas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw9fhdGHH4A...feature=related Another one of my favorites...I Am Santa Claus: Hark hear the bells Sweet Silver Bells All seem to say Ding Dong, mmmkay
/dev/null Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Hark hear the bellsSweet Silver Bells All seem to say Ding Dong, mmmkay We've all heard of Rudolph and his shining nose And we all know Frosty who's made out of snow But all of those stories seem kind of... gay Because we all know who brightens up our holiday Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo Small and brown he comes from you Sit on the toilet here he comes Squeeze him 'tween your festive buns A present from down below Spreading joy with a "Howdy-Ho!" He's seen the love inside of you Because he's a piece of poo Sometimes he's nutty Sometimes he's corny He can be brown or greenish brown But if you eat fiber on Christmas eve He might come to your town! Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo He loves me, I love you Therefore, vicariously he loves you! I can make a Mr. Hankey too! Cartman: Well Kyle where is he? Kyle: Ehh .. He's coming! Stan: Come on dude, push! Kyle: Ehhhh... I'm Trying! Cartman: Wait, wait I can see his head! Kyle: Here he comes! [POP!] Mr. Hankey: Howdy Ho! I'm Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo Seasons Greetings to all of you! Let's sing songs and dance and play Now before I melt away. Here's a game I like to play Stick me in your mouth and try to say Howdy ho ho yum yum yum Christmas Time has come! Sometimes He's runny Sometimes he's firm Sometimes he practically water. Sometimes he hangs off the end of your ass And wont fall in the toilet Because he's just clinging to your sphincter And he wont drop off .. and so you shake your ass around And try to get it to drop in the toilet and finally it does. Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo When Christmas leaves he must leave too. Flush him down but he's never gone His smell and his spirit linger on. Howdy Ho!

Howdy Ho! Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand! Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, i made you out of clay... Court-ney-cox, i-love-you, you're-so-hot, on-that-show... Jews, play stupid games...

Steely Dan Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Favorites:Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives. It's all because I grew up watching the Rankin/Bass Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Special every year. What Child Is This. Love this song. Carole of the Bells. You just can't get the music out of your head when you hear it. Sleigh Ride. This makes me smile. I'll Be Home For Christmas. Just makes me feel good to hear this. Songs I can't stand: Feliz Navidad. This song is played on the radio constantly, and it's the same lyrics over and over and over and over and over and over again. Santa, Baby. This song is wrong on all levels. Little Drummer Boy: I do'nt hate this song, but it's a song i'm not all that fond of. Nothing special. Other great /Bass classics! What's great about "The Year Without A Santa Claus" is that two elves get a ticket for riding a vixen the wrong way on a one way street! "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. But the very next day, you gave it away." (Hee hee) My favorite is . My least favorite is the stupid Christmas Wrapping song. I'm sorry, I don't remember that but I apologize. "I have these gifts for you you, they're up in my bum...." "Holy crap here comes Jesus and he doesn't look too happy!" I do... I hate Sinatra and all the other Rat Packers... The only one I like is Dean... He had it all over the others. I have a soft spot for his voice. Maybe you should PM him and see if he feels the same way about you. I have three, and I've heard all three already this year (thank you, YouTube): "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" -- Bruce Springsteen "There's Something About Christmas Time" -- Bryan Adams Worst one has to be "Santa Baby" by Madonna, which I heard on Sirius Holly the other day. I won't bother linking to that steaming pile of fecal matter. Bruce! Other favs! Cat singing Silent Night! Here comes Santa Claus! by pretty much anyone. Annie Lennox Winter Wonderland. Favorites: "Blue Christmas" by the Eagles "So this is christmas" by John Lenon "All i want for christmas is you" by Mariah Carey Worst Xmas songs ever: "Santa Baby" by Madonna "I want a hippopotamus for christmas" by whoever the hell sings it Forgot the Eagles and Lennon. Great call! Definitely agree. I'll say "Christmas Time is Here" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio, from A Charlie Brown Christmas. IMO, A Charlie Brown Christmas is the only Christmas special that captures the true meaning of Christmas. My least favorite is Santa Got Run Over By A Reindeer.
