I don't know what it is this year, but I have heard some of the WORST Christmas songs, by far. At dinner tonight, for example: we're at a fairly nice local steakhouse, and they piped in the most Goddess-awful holiday music! The first tune that catches my attention is "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"...I swear the guy singing it had his nuts caught in a mouse trap. It was horrible!!! There was a brief reprieve with some normal holiday tunes. Then I hear some American Idol reject caterwalling her way into some Christmas cheer. Nothing can ruin a good steak like this drivel. Then there was the teen queen who was going to email Santa....guess what, honey? HE DOESN'T CARE!!!!
At work it's not much better. I think our corporate office bought the Sheryl Crow Christmas album, because I think every other song is hers...and they suck. She has this version of "Blue Christmas"...if you're not depressed when the song begins, you will be when it's over. Her whiny voice mixed with some twang-twang country riffs make you want to grab a gun and shoot yourself since you can't shoot her.
I'm not exactly a tradionalist...take a look at my Christmas playlist. But some people should just leave well enough alone.
