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.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      Well, I can not say good morning today.  The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering.  I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help.  You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do.  He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money.  He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year.  Each mile is dedicated to a child.  You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile.     if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation.  The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom.   Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister.  If I can get there I am going to try to go.  I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there.  And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity.   Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice.  My wife is definitely on the mend.   well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized.   Willow

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      CA Judge Rules That Title of Anti-Trans Ballot Measure Will Remain As-Is

      By VickySGV · Posted

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.
