The best version of Baby, It's Cold Outside is this one. No sleeze at all from Rod Stewart, and you just can't go wrong with Dolly Parton.
And the best version of Santa Baby is definitely Madonna
The Eartha Kitt version is just so terribly slow.

Speaking of awkward Christmas song moments, there's a version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - which I've heard for years (more of a country version than the original) - which ends with what sounds like several small children very sadly singing that lyric of the song. Like they actually were witnesses to their mothers' philandering and were being forced to sing it in a song.
And then they get cut off by the end of the track.
Monstrous.

When it comes to Santa Baby, I think everyone can agree the worst version is Michael Buble's "Santa Buddy". Cringeworthy attempt at covering a standard while trying to say 'no homo' with every line.

It ain't any better than that song about an octogenarian getting trampled by venison. That was always intended to be a joke song though. If I remember correctly it was in response to some other overly sugary sounding Christmas song that brings up the grandmother died in the last verse. Of course, now there's so many "darker" or "demented" Christmas songs (ie, The Night Santa Went Crazy) that that song has lost it's "edge" and is now seen as a cutesy song (doesnt help that the animated tv special retconned it so that Grandma survived). |

There's a version of "Santa Baby", older I'm sure, that is sung with zero warmth and basically in the tone of "You better buy me this shit, you bum"
Working retail for a couple years just ingrained my hatred of Christmas music even further. They should all be cancelled and be replaced with pagan chants or something.

For how homophobic Warrior was in life, his comic sure did have a lot of homoerotic imagery.  And there's this: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}  Hmm, his wife said he changed his views on it before he died, maybe what she really meant was that he always was OK with it, it's just that he was always ashamed of it, and his face was always like his face in the comic after, with Santa...uh, um, you know[/Jerry Jarrett] Funnily enough one of my friends started a Facebook thread asking for creepy love songs, one of the first mentioned along with "Every Breath You Take", "One Way or Another" and "My Sharona" I have a friend who thought this was creepy: This friend of mine said this song sounds kinda stalker-ish, and coming on too strong. Ok, could somebody clear up 12 Days of Christmas for me? Is the singer listing each thing he/she got in total, or did they get all those things every day (so at the end of the 12 days they had 12 partridges in 12 pear trees, 22 turtle doves, 30 French hens, 32 calling birds, 35 golden rings, ect)? |

They should all be cancelled and be replaced with pagan chants or something. That is exactly why I have grown to hate Christmas music. It's worse because it's the same like 5 songs on repeat, just different versions of them. Especially Winter Wonderland. We have like 9 versions of that stupid song. I don't get the lyric about building a snowman and pretending it's a circus clown. I mean, what kind of sad ass childhood must you have if you need to pretend a snowman is a clown? |

If you add everything up(1+1+1+2+1+2+3 etc.) I'm fairly certain it adds up to 365. Your take on how religious it is depends on who you consider "My True Love" is. |

They didn't have shit to do when the song was written in 1934 during the Great Depression. There's lots of Christmas music out there, but the radio selections are pretty repetitive. |
