Well, I figured since it's that time of year, and I'm in a rotten mood because of work, I'd start off this blog with my 10 most annoying songs of the season. Here are songs 10-6...
10) "Blue Christmas" (Elvis Presley) – schmaltzy song, stupid lyrics, obnoxious spoken part in the middle, and the goofy ‘whoo-ooh-ooh-ohh’ repeating over and over again make this one of the more annoying songs of the season.
9) "Do They Know It’s Christmastime?" (Band-Aid) – the “We Are the World” of Christmas songs. While I’m all for feeding the world, do we need to be reminded through this less than appealing song every December? Shouldn’t we be doing this all the time? Christmas songs should not be political in nature.
8) "My Favorite Things" (from Sound of Music) – I have yet to understand how this song has been classified a Christmas Song. So the song talks about snowflakes and presents. In the context of the musical, it has nothing to do with Christmas.
7) "Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)" (John Lennon) – Another example of good artists doing bad songs. Politics and Christmas songs do not mix.
6) "Wonderful Christmastime" (Paul McCartney) – A perfect example of what happens when good artists do bad songs. Maybe the former Beatles should have stayed out of the Holiday song genre.
