Easily the worst for me is “Last Christmas”. I can’t figure out how it ended up getting any air time at all, and the fact that so many people cover it just blows my mind.
A family member introduced me to the absolute worst cover in the history of anything. Enjoy!
I know - I went ahead and won the thread in the first post, but still - feel free to nominate some runners up.
wtf. The second they start, I wondered if it wasn’t meant to be a joke. But there was clearly too much effort put into it to be a joke. wow.
I’d say anything that gets played on the local Christmas radio stations, because they have a VERY small playlist. And especially that Mariah Carey song. And, despite it being incredibly catchy, that Paul McCartney song.
That’s great. I saw your thread title and came here to post that my wife absolutely hates this song. Because of this I enjoy singing it out loud so that my kids will start singing it. Drives her crazy.
That sounds like it’s mean, but she’s plenty ornery to me to deserve it
This song always made me cry, when it was on the (Christian) radio, but that was probably like…10, 15 years ago? Would probably not have the same effect now.
Also, was that Brad Paisley’s wife and Rob Lowe at the beginning of the video?
I don’t hate contemporary Christmas music. I like Mariah’s tune, and there’s one by Ariana Grande that gets stuck in my head that doesn’t make me want to lobotomize myself. But I don’t go out of my way to listen to it, either.
It’s that time of year again where Xmas music is everywhere. There is usually a day where a flip switches where I stop avoiding it and start embracing it, but generally not til a week or two before christmas day. This year I won’t be shopping in stores or even driving my car very much so should be easy to avoid until I’m ready.
Aw, I actually like that one… in small doses. Not every hour, which is how often it’s played on Christmas stations.
I can NOT stand “My Grown Up Christmas Wish”.
No, it’s not grown-up at all. It’s like the beauty pageant contestants who all want world peace. A grown-up Christmas wish would be to actually come up with and implement solutions to one or more problems in the world rather than just wishing they’d magically disappear, which is sophomoric wishful thinking.
Christmas would be a particularly appropriate time to look to the example of Christ. He didn’t just wish for things to get better. He went out and got his hands dirty and healed sick people and defended the defenseless. He didn’t ask his Daddy to wave a magic wand and whisk us all back to the Garden of Eden.
