Not just annoying, just the worst song....

 

My candidate....

Unfortunately my partner loves that Dominic the Christmas Donkey one so I hear that more than the Grandma one.

I vaguely remember seeing some kind of TV special decades ago that introduced "Little Drummer Boy" and thinking it clashed with everything I had always known and accepted about the Christmas story. You can't just go creating new characters and narratives, can you?  Apparently...yes.

 

I'm sorry, but to this day that "bah-rumpa-bum-bump" song gives me the creeps.

 

I have issues with "Holly Jolly Christmas", too.  But that's a story for another time.

Either Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer or Dominick the Donkey. I'm not sure which is worst. The only thing that the Grandma song has going for it is that it was written as a parody. Dominick doesn't even have that.

 

Both my parents had issues with the Little Drummer Boy--for the same reasons as @Colleen Hendersondoes. My father had issues with Blue Christmas, but that was because he just didn't like Elvis. 

 

Another candidate is the one about the little boy buying red shoes for his dying mother on Christmas eve (Christmas shoes? Can't remember the title.) It's just plain sad on an occasion that should bre joyous.

I am going to vote for the Little Drummer Boy. It also creeps me out. Mainly because quite a few years ago (80's maybe) some clothing manufacturer used it in a commercial to sell womens jeans. Definitely not in the spirit of good taste!

This was popular when I was a kid.  It sucked then, and it sucks now:  "All I want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."  Spike Jones and the City Slickers did the first recording of it.

LOL.  When I was a kid, there was an even worse variation of it, to the same tune, called "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle."  Click at your own risk... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ozoaBftyjI

I agree "Grandma got run over..." is one of the top five in my book, but then there's Alvin and the Chipmunks "Christmas don't be late"... Also "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" and for some reason "Silver Bells" songs just irritates me. I'd have to say "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" beats "Dominic the donkey," I guess I wasn't tortured enough with it. But much rather listen to Dominic the Donkey, over Alvin and the Chipmunks.... Anything is better.😑

I'd forgotten about Alvin and the Chipmunks. I think it may be due to psychological blocking it out. They sound like fingernails on a chalkboard or worse. I swear they qualify as torture no matter what they sing.

My wife despises "Little Drummer Boy" - I was okay with it until I heard versions by Johnny Cash AND Bob Dylan. Ouch.

That was hysterical Colleen.

A different definition of a roast, but well deserved!

Yeah, I forgot them too, until a teacher attempt to pick it for a movie to show a subclass for a bunch of middle school children. Had a brief PTSD moment. My ears are very sensitive. Luckily the children chose wisely and wanted to watch, Monsters Inc. Felt like I dodge a bullet, thought briefly about taking an unexpected leave of absence.

 

"Little drummer boy" is creepy, sounds like a death march, but I can at least listen to the full song without wishing for any and all Divine entities to show mercy upon my miserable soul by removing me from the material plane where them Chipmunks be singing.

Amen. I can well believe both the PTSD moment and I agree about the Little Drummer Boy. IMHO, that teacher should be tried for child abuse for even suggesting the Chipmunks. 🤣

Another candidate might be It's a Marshmallow World by Dean Martin. It's juet cringe-worthy.

IMHO the teacher would probably be fine with it and say they were doing their job perfectly. I think it was just a poor decision, cuz they were thinking about revenge but no thought for the only help in the room, who's now internally screaming.

The school we were working for, had difficult subjects(Children). The student had zero discipline, nightmare levels of why, but it's not all their fault, cuz school admin was to busy dodging disgruntled parents. Honestly, those children on average thought being in school is the equivalent of torture, but they're still learning.

Never heard that one. A new one for the cringe pile.

      While Biden may be more friendly to trans folks, I'm not a single-issue voter.  I just can't choose a Democrat candidate, as I believe their actions will destroy my community and way of life.  Biden just announced that he wants to significantly increase capital gains taxes.  Maybe he intends to "tax the rich" but that is going to affect everything from land sales to grocery prices to the cost of electricity and even folks' retirement savings, as most companies make a large amount of their profits through investing in the market.  It is absolute lunacy to think that increased cost or reduced profits won't be passed on to the rest of us.  Things are going to get way worse at this rate.    Mostly, I vote in elections for state and local issues, as the national government is about as pleasant as a Porta-Potty in July.  So, either I'll do a write-in vote for president, or I'll check the box for Trump.  Anything but Biden.

      Interesting...never knew any of this.  Of course, in my girl form I never got breasts, so I never had to worry about it.  A couple of pieces of tape would have been sufficient...      Sounds like fun   It has been interesting for me since I stopped trying to do sex like a girl.  The real surprise was my relationship with my husband, as he has figured me out pretty well.

      They were sitting on the love seat, looking west out over Kansas.  Below them the busy city ran to and fro.   "They called.  My surgery has been rescheduled for May 8.  I need to be there at 5 AM for pre-op.  I start prescriptions and diet change on May 1."   "Okay."  Bob did his not-thinking-about anything look.  Taylor was always amazed that he could  actually be thinking about absolutely nothing. She was always thinking of at least six things.   "How can they be like that?" "What?"  He startled a little.  Contact with reality was reestablished. "Where does the hate come from?  Mrs. McArthur?  She was always polite, but I think she wasn't really.  Somehow she hated me even though there were no indications whatsoever." "Yeah, well, you know they are starting up that plant.  And my company is going ahead with their work there, down n Milliville.   I will have to go down there sometimes." "Oh, Bob." "Maybe I will stop by and ask her." "No." "No.  Cabaret is closed, I have been told.  Your transgender support group has scattered to other places." "What is wrong with those people?" "Same thing as Roosevelt, I guess.  You know all the racial comments against Blacks?  Like that game where our cheerleaders started this insulting cheer, an the opposite team was mostly Black? Teachers stopped it." "I didn't know.  I was staying away from that, remember?" "Yes." "You know all those kids at our church, the ones you called freaks the other day?" "I shouldn't have called them that." "Pastor tells me they are all from all over the Midwest.  These are kids who have been thrown out of their homes and were found on the street.  Other shelters would not take them, so they wound up here." "Not surprising." "I think we could do some good here." "What do you have in mind?" And she told him.

      You are spot on here ... but also it seems like such a rigged game for the average person that it's hard to invest energy into the political arena -- too much big money controlling too many people/organizations/narratives for the common person to fee; heard...   In general, why we in America accept either candidate is baffling... for all our innovation as a nation, we can't do better than these two bozos?    The problem is, the political arena is such a sham -- again with large money controlling all aspects of the system -- that a common-sense, love-your-neighbor, make-reasonable-compromises, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work candidate will never make it anywhere above the local level (if even there)...    Everything is a reality show, and boring ol' decision makers that try to benefit the most people don't generate enough clicks, views and retweets...  I am not sure it is so much about celebrity as it is about party politics at all costs - "my side must always be viewed as right and your side must always be viewed as wrong!" kind of thinking... there is no consensus building anymore because that will get used against you in campaign ads... When Obama took office and then Hilary ran again, it was like all Republicans want to do was to find someone loud enough to put them in their place. Forget issues, forget character, just win a debate and rally the base.    To get back to your original point, not enough of us care about politics ... and in some ways we've become fat, happy and entitled as a nation. The yearning to achieve the "American dream", which drove my parents and their parents before them to work their tails off and sacrifice and save, is now just "give me the American dream for free while I sit here on my phone and watch tiktok..."

      Oh, another comment.   I am a conservative evangelical with strong Republican leanings. So is my wife, my friends, my family. I disagree with a good amount of what the Republicans are doing, but there it is.  I understand the mindset, I think, a lot better than those who are outside it do.   When you insult Republicans you insult me, my friends, my family.   People like me can struggle with trans issues.   Please consider that in posting.

      I found this as well. No playacting, they just appear: the finger waggle wave; bracing my elbow on my other arm that's folded across my chest, wrist in the air half-cocked; walking a bit more fiercely... All that. My wife thought I was mocking her at one point!

      I find my lack of time to read the thing frustrating, and I will not really comment until I have read it.  This is a wholly inadequate response.   1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.    6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.

      Sort of bracing myself for flipping, because I am wearing f and of course I wear f and it is natural to wear f and what else would I wear?  The  novelty is long gone out on this.  I wore a bra most of yesterday but we had a Zoom call and I took the bra off because I was concerned about the straps showing.  I missed it.    My body is saying "I am female!  Treat me that way!"   In the past it has screamed about this activity that  I have done to it.

      This is what I'm scared of.  And it's quite possible. Apparently Chicken Little was right.
