Favorite Christmas Song Phrase or Line
 

It's coming! It's fast approaching! I just thought it might be good to get into the spirit this early and spread some holiday cheer. We were all kids once I assume... So which christmas song reminds you of the good old feelings? Any favorite Christmas song phrase or line to share?

I'll go first - taken from "The Christmas Song"

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Chrismas to you

"rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum"

Pure Poetry

Let's Briefly examine "The Little Drummer Boy"

*Please note that the narrator has made it clear they are going to see the new born king and give him gifts. Also it gets a bit redundant with "to lay before the king" what else were you gonna do with them, through them at the baby?


And we need this part because...? Why else give the kid gifts?


Let me get this straight, you spend all of verse one redundantly blathering on about going to give the baby king a gift and yet you don't have one...? How does that work?

If you were any good as a drummer you could afford a decent gift for the son of god.

Wow you got a baby to smile, and had farm animals as the rhythm section, great stuff Ginger Baker this douchey canoe and his family have been collecting royalties on this garbage song and it's repetitive drone of a melody for generations and it's time it stopped.

Death to the Little Drummer Boy.

Ho Ho Ho, now I have a machine gun!

I've never thought about the song that way.
I don't think i'll ever listen to it again.

may favorite line is in the song holly jolly christmas, "somebody waits for you," and it's in like minor key when the rest of the song is so triumphant and major.

I despise all Christmas songs.

Westward leading,
still proceeding,
following yonder light.

Well you're just a right ray of sunshine, aren't you?

It's not a classic Christmas song, but I love it.

"Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses

It really only works as a whole song, but I think this is the coolest line:

"So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year."

Here's the full set of lyrics if you're interested..

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping - Lyrics

They're all terrible and corny! They're so cheerful they are depressing. I boycott Christmas songs this year!

Of course they are. That's the appeal of Christmas music.

:crazy:

If you don't like the song I quoted in my post, you be crazy

I just don't like them. Especially when my boss plays the same tape over and over and over again at work and makes us wear Christmas hats. And the tunes repetitively jingle over and over in your head until you're brainwashed into dreaming of white christmas's. I think I was scarred.

I've worked retail through two Christmas seasons. I'm well aware of your grievances.

Hear hear! A prohibitive tax should be levied on all performers who record Christmas albums, all people who purchase those albums, and all of the radio stations and department stores that play those albums.


That said, I appreciate the sentiments of Fear's "Fuck Chrismas."


You are officially MB's most brilliant poster. :D

:laughing:

but I love the version by Destiny's Child

That can only be a good thing.

"I'm dreaming of a White Christmas"

Yeah, most Christmas songs are painful but what about the great jazz ones? Like Coltrane's Greensleeves, Oscar Peterson's "A Child is Born", or Kenny Burrell's "Merry Christmas, Baby"

I'm somewhat embarrassed to say it, butI have a soft spot for some Christmas music. I love

Songs for Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Christmas Gift For You From Philles Records
Christmas Eve and Other Stories
The Bells of Dublin
What a Wonderful Christmas

and a few others.

Oh, and Fairytale of New York by The Pogues is the best Christmas song ever.

This ones funny Weird Al's "The Night Santa Went Crazy"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been getting the RAW deal
Somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers, and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbecued Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said "It tastes just like chicken!"

My favorite Weird Al song. Genius.

I lol'd.

Christmas + punk attitude = hilarious song by Fear. It takes a few seconds for the music to start so be patient, but the song is only about 45 seconds long so you don't have to be too patient. :yeah:

I have to say the cover of silent night by the ****ies is tight.

I'm not a Christmas person at all. It's just an excuse to drink lots of booze and I do that the rest of the year so where is the extra incentive?..and the music is crap.

The one that goes "Everybody's waiting for the man with the bag"...the only Christmas song I can relate to.

I was listening to an album called We Wish You a Metal Xmas...and a Headbanging New Year. I love Alice Cooper's version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. It's typical Alice Cooper and I will never think of Santa the same way again! LOL

The whole album rocks! But that song is now my favorite Christmas Song! John 5 plays Guitar on it, Billy Sheehan bassplayer from Mr. Big, Niacin, Talas, David Lee Roth and Steve Vai on bass, and Vinny Appice from Dio and Black Sabbath on drums. Just proves Alice only works with the best!

I despise a lot of Christmas music, there are a few good songs though. They tend to be the more depressing ones like Lonely This Christmas by Mud. Fairytale Of New York is the hands-down best one for me though, especially as it's home to this verse...

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ***got
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God its our last

Up on the housetop reindeer pause, out jumps good ol santa clause.

Merry Xmas/War is Over-John Lennon...good song IMO

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is my most hated Christmas song....a different version played every third or fourth tune where I work. All oversung. Is "hang a shining star upon the highest bough" really the most dramatic lyric ever written? Does it -need- to be sung that way?

C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S - The Vandals
[Originally by The Yobs]

"C" is for your little clit when I go down beneath.
"H" is for your pubic hair that sticks between my teeth
"R" is for your rectum that
"I" fuck with my dick
Christmas comes but once a year
and makes me fucking sick.
"S" is for your shitty asshole, clinkers 'round your bum
"T" is for your massive tits that make me want to cum
"M" is for masturbation, when you're not here with me
"A" is for the agony of catching your vd
"S" is for the syphilis that rots away my prick
Christmas comes but once a year
and makes me fucking sick.
"S" is for the syphilis that rots away my
Ding-dong merrily along
The chapel bells are ringing
Ding-dong merrily along
My fucking balls are swinging.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa ...

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa ...
The chapel bells are ringing.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa ...
My fucking balls are swinging!



I couldn't possibly pick just one line, it brings on the tears every time I hear it. LYRICAL MASTERPIECE!!!!

Favorite Christmas Tune?
 

I never get sick of the Chipmunk Song around the holiday's -

What is your Favorite Holiday Tune?

The part after this where Santa scare all the reindeer causing them to fall off the roof with all the presents and Christmas gets ruined.

What is your Favorite Holiday Tune?

Rhyming "snowman" with "no, man," in Winter Wonderland always pissed me off, particularly since that part is repeated like three times in the song.

Thanks for the laugh. :rofl:
