We’ve all heard them at this time of year. Repeatedly. So frequently that we want to pull out our hair. Or strangle random people in the mall. Or maybe that’s just because that person was walking soooo slowly, kept stopping dead in their tracks and would weave, so that I couldn’t get around him/her. God, I hate malls at this time of the year. (Anytime, truth be told).
But I digress. We’re assembled here today to discuss the mighty ear worm of horrible holiday music. Not the Chanukah song – that’s a classic. No, I’m talking more like the über-insipid Feed the World, by Band Aid. First, what a stupid name for band, even if they claimed their proceeds would go to charity. And this is coming from someone who likes puns. Second, “do they know it’s Christmas time?” Probably not, because the people they’re talking about are probably not Christian. Gah!
So what holiday songs do you truly despise?

Last week I turned off that completely fucking annoying easy listening station somebody in our office likes because all it was playing were Christmas tunes of the sappy variety. It was that or disembowel myself on the job. Anything sappy, anything that drones on about faith.

nothing on pickles or calicos today.
Nothing like the tag ‘horrid music’ to get me in and out.
One more thing before I go…..this is a disaster for the shallow and frivolous among us. The elite edjumedicated University types are building a filter for inane comments!!!!
