Yeppers. You two just click through and tell me what it says. And bring me a beer while you're at it.

Lazy ass.

Sign of the times. I was scrolling through my TiVo the other night when I came across something that would allow me to order a pizza through my remote control. God forbid I exert any calories actually picking up the telephone

Whoever thought up the idea for these dumbass click intensive lists needs a good cockpunch.

Haven't heard a lot of those. I definitely agree with Paul McCartney's "A Wonderful Christmas Time" - I seriously hate that song! But I like the Band Aid song that made #1 on the worst list.

Did you look at the "Best" list? Christmas in Hollis #1??? Not for me!!!

This needs to be on some sort of list - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFQyib5ZQZY

Ever since I heard this, I can't listen to the real song without adding these lyrics.

[Don]

'Do They Know It's Christmas' isn't supposed to be happy song. It's an excellent song for its purpose;charity, 10x better than that commercialized crap, "We are the world" that tried to copy it.

Because I'm nice (well, actually because I'm bored stupid waiting for a plumber to turn up)

12. 'Santa Baby'
--Madonna (1987)
Madonna had been around the block far too many times to get away with playing the infuriating Betty Boop-ish ingenue. When Eartha Kitt made a case for being a good, deserving girl -- "think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed" -- it was mildly amusing. When Madonna trotted out the line, it was just another reason for Sean Penn to start throwing ornaments.

11. 'Wonderful Christmastime'
--Paul McCartney (1979)
Look, kids -- Daddy got a new synthesizer for Christmas! McCartney has reportedly renounced this creampuff in recent years, but the damage was already done. But you gotta give it to him: the old boy can write an irrepressible melody even when he sounds like he's puckered up from a half-dozen eggnogs.

10. 'Christmastime'
--The Smashing Pumpkins (1997)
When Billy Corgan shrieks about feeling like a rat in a cage, he's a voice of authenticity. When he sings about the tender feelings he has for tots fawning over their presents, it's ... creepy. How close are we letting him to these kids, anyway?

9. '8 Days of Christmas'
--Destiny's Child (2001)
Backrubs and poems. A diamond belly ring and some quality T-I-M-E. "Doesn't it feel like Christmas?" Well, no, ladies -- it feels kinda dirty, like we're the third wheel on your No-Tell Motel weekend. The keys to a CLK Mercedes? Now, that's a sentiment we can get behind.

8. 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town'
--Bruce Springsteen (1981)
Even though he's darn near as sainted as St. Nick himself, Bruce is capable of laying the occasional lump of coal. We've got no beef with rollicking through this sloppy number live, but do radio stations really have to play it 5,000 times every December? And, yeah, we get it ... Clarence wants a new sax.

7. 'Christmas Conga'
--Cyndi Lauper (1998)
Seriously? After all the snow shoveling, the shlepping through the malls, the tantrum-throwing children and the drunken uncles, you really think we feel like joining a conga line?

6. 'Santa's Beard'
--The Beach Boys (1964)
The kid pulls the pillow out from under Santa's shirt and yanks off his beard. The whole scenario makes our stomach roll over, like an undercooked ham -- for instance, when was the last time that pillow was washed? With Brian Wilson hitting his most migraine-inducing falsetto note as he repeats the taunt ("Not Santa! Not Santa!"), we may never enter a shopping mall again.

5. 'Merry Christmas With Love'
--Clay Aiken (2004)
This song comes to us warmed over from an old seasonal pot luck by contemporary Christian artist Sandy Patti. Just as the lonely subject despairs that there's "no reason for trimming the tree" (Was she dumped? Lost in a remote wing of her McMansion?), the carolers remind her of the true meaning of Christmas. Was that a sigh of relief, or are you choking on your peppermint?

4. 'Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)'
--The Ramones (1989)
When Joey Ramone sees trees of green -- red roses, too -- it truly does sound like a wonderful world. But when he calls out to the stray flying mammals on his tenement rooftop -- where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen? -- to help save him from another bickering Christmas, it's just too absurd.

3. 'Oi to the World'
--No Doubt (1997)
Covering the Vandals no doubt shored up Gwen's punk cred, and the storyline -- Hadji the Punk and Trevor the Skinhead learning to live together in harmony -- just warms the old cockles every time. But there's something about making a cutesy play on the phrase "Joy to the World" using the skinhead's "Oi!" that just doesn't sit right.

2. 'Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)'
--John Denver (1975)
The late Rocky Mountain troubadour sometimes introduced this song as a funny little ditty that took on more serious overtones over time. It's hard to see what could have been funny about a seven-year-old pleading with Daddy not to pass out under the tree. Not when you consider that Denver had two DUI arrests before his death in 1997.

1. 'Do They Know It's Christmas'
--Band Aid (1984)
File this, charitably, under Good Intentions. The cream of the U.K. pop crop -- including Bob Geldof and the guy from Spandau Ballet -- banged this out in one 24-hour session. Unfortunately, despite the heroic tub-thumping of Phil Collins, it sounds like it. And -- with lyrics like "Tonight thank God it's them, instead of you" -- you can't exactly take it out caroling.

[stevew2]

[TRAGChick]

OK People.....have I got one for YOU...



My Mom bought a compilation album in 1964, I think....I grew up listening to this song....
For laughs, I searched for it.....and LO & BEHOLD ~ I FOUND IT!

It's SO BAD, IT'S GOOD.

(Seriously, tho...Eydie's a powehouse vocalist from the phrase, "you better LEAVE!" forward.)

Two things strike me, listening to this as an adult:

1. Steve Lawrence sounds a LOT like Frank Sinatra, and
2. WOW ~ he's a Pervy Perveson in this song!

So, freakin' brace yourselves....

Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme ~ "That Holiday Feeling!"

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer"....end of story.

[Suzanne]

"Grandma got run over by a reindeer"....end of story.

I was just thinking this morning about how I dread catching this on the radio. HATE IT!!!

On the flip side, I just heard Enya singing "Silent Night" in Irish and had to turn it off because it brought me to tears it was so pretty. G'head, call me a puss.

[brywool]

I hate that Bob Rivers "walking round in women's underwear" crap too. Not funny, just dumb. Gramma Got Run Over By A Reindeer needs to also never be played again. EVER.

[Don]

What about this one guys?
