Baby, Please Come Home, isn't a very good song. Wait! You're not Rockin' Ricky fans!

The date rape anthem that is Baby, It's Cold Outside This is the answer. Just a creepy, shit-fest of a song. "Your frail female body cannot handle the cold. You should stay. You will stay. You WILL stay..." Now thinking of the South Park-ed Bill Cosby and Taylor Swift. I don't hate the song though. I like some versions. But you wanna know a really weird cover? The one JAMES TAYLOR plays the "Wolf" (that's what they call the male voice) in. I mean who would buy James Taylor as a harassing male? And yet, because of that it's extra creepy.

Here Comes Santa Claus was ruined the moment my I learned on the school bus what "comes" really means to middleschoolers But even without that, the song is really creepy. "Say your prayers" and "jump in bed and cover your head"? Sounds like a lost soundtrack song from Silent Night, Deadly Night. Plus "Santa knows that we're God's children, that makes everything right"...so he is instigating a holy war too?

I want to cut a joke version of, "Baby It's Cold Outside" with exchanges like this:
"My sister will be suspicious" "Nosy bitch." "What?" "My nose itched."
"My brother will be there at the door." "I'm not scared." "What?" "It's nice he cares."
I like most of the old school classics, but I work retail, so I hate most of the ones others have mentioned.
I also hate "Do You Hear What I Hear?" The one year they played it at work, I would burst through the prep room doors and bellow, "Do you smell what I smell?" every time it played.
The worst was the year before last. I work at a Food Lion, and someone thought it would be a good idea to have the lion from the in store announcements sing carols. Every 15 minutes. You could even download the songs from the website. The album was called, "Roaring In The Holidays."
That damn lion even sang the dreidel song and wished everyone a happy Hanukkah and a happy Kwanzaa on one of the other songs, which is fine on one hand, but on the other... I live in BFE east Tennessee. The closest we have to a Jewish population is when a household in the county watches a Mel Brooks movie on TV, and I doubt most of the people here have ever heard of Kwanzaa.

I say this every year, but people seriously misunderstand what Baby It's Cold outside is about.
The entire idea behind the song is that the woman wants to stay but is afraid of the societal pressure of a woman daring to be alone with a man, since it was written in the enlightened era of the 1940's
edit: that said Christmas Shoes. It's a terrible as a story, it's terrible as a song, and it's just flat out terrible on all counts.

'I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day' by Wizzard.
It's a stompy 70s number complete with children's choir and sleigh bells and just really annoys me. First of all, it's just a cheap Christmas cash in. Second, more often than not it's the first Christmas song you'll hear on UK TV in the run up to Christmas. Third, you're guaranteed at some point to see Roy Wood of Wizzard turn up on some show or another with his guitar and purple beard.
On the other hand, I absolutely adore Slade's 'Merry Christmas, Everybody'.

I see a lot of people mention Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, I genuinely have never heard of it, but having just played a snippet of it I can totally understand the dislike for it.

I love Mariah Carey I absolutely do. But if I have to hear All I want for Christmas is you one more time.... The only thing that redeems that song any for me is a vine I saw changing how the lyrics play out in my head now. "I just want you for my owwwwn" "Please leave me the f*** alone!"

In the car with my mom, and everyone's favorite song just came on, aka Christmas Shoes One of my favorite stories about that is fellow retired mod Void's dad getting him and his mom to watch the movie, which they reluctantly agreed to. After a miserable viewing experience, the dad I think tried to talk them into watching I think "The Christmas Blessing" when they shot it down and declared enough enough. It's been years since he told me this story, and it's less memorable than how Mortal Kombat Annihilation could have killed him, so forgive me, Alucard , if I f***ed up the details.

The only thing that redeems that song any for me is a vine I saw changing how the lyrics play out in my head now. "I just want you for my owwwwn" "Please leave me the f*** alone!" Thanks. I gotta use that one. Now, there's some songs I can't listen to for reasons besides the music itself. Sometimes when one had a(n in)famous death...this is why I say that while none of the Carpenters songs are bad, it's hard to listen without a feeling of sadness. The Spector stuff is brilliant, but again hard to not think of what he did too. And I can't stand LeAnn (C)rimes' Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree because she turned out to be a creep too.

I don't believe I've heard of this Christmas Shoes song. Judging by the comments in this thread, that apparently makes me very lucky. To be fair, it's probably been played around me at some point, I'm just exceptionally gifted at tuning things out. Like how the thread on this forum about the New Day making fun of him was the first time I ever heard of Steph Curry, despite working in a sporting goods store Continuing on that vein and more to the topic, I actually prefer the generic celebrity tracks, because I have found them EXTREMELY easy to tune out. It takes me around two hours to register when the radio at works switches to Christmas songs. And like many places, the Christmas music started playing the day immediately following Halloween, so the ability to tune it out comes in quite handy.

This. Worked at the grocery for like twelve. It all stinks. You try listening to perpetual Christmas music all day every day since like Halloween when you're like 17 and see how you like it.

"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is quite lecherous. I'm kind of surprised it's still in heavy rotation considering how sensitive some people can be.

Whatever that Simple Plan Christmas song was called. I worked retail in 2004-05, and they had that song in rotation as part of the Christmas music for some reason. Speaking of pop punk, there was also that Red Sox Christmas song (written right after they won the world series in 2004) that I wont even link to, its that bad and would likely make you want to burn any Sox merch.
