Worst. Holiday. Song. Ever.

The Beatles, "Simply Having"

Holy fuck. And it's on several goddamned times a day on the holiday station my colleague listens to.

This song, all by itself, is reason enough they should be denied any consideration for the title of "greatest band ever."


Your nominees?

That is not the Beatles - that is Paul McCarthy on his own.

No wonder he's the goddamned walrus.

Ho Ho ka-choo.

Any holiday song that trades on being "funny" : Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, et al.

[emzebel.livejournal.com]

Any song involving Ringo Starr is high on my list.

Your Current Mood and Music made me chuckle.
And furthermore: SCREW YOU! Now the song is playing in my head! >.<

Paul McCartney :-P

[sukipot.livejournal.com]

That is (Sir) Paul McCartney. Can't blame the Beatles for that.

And John Lennon was the walrus.

I came here to say that. ARGH! Read this post about 45 minutes ago and the stupid song is fixed in my brain! My boss is in the office so I can't blast my own music either.

You need to wash that down with This Holiday Season by Porn Orchard ;) [the one often mistaken as Christmas Sucks by Peter Murphy/Tom Waits.

You probably already know it, but just in case:

Oh, and because I think you should suffer with me:

Go ahead, click play. Feel the burning.



It's snowing tonight in the Blue Ridge
There's a hush on the Ches'peake Bay
The chimneys are smoking in Georgetown
And tomorrow is Christmas Day

The Tidal Basin lies quiet
The tourists have found their way home
Mr. Jefferson's standing the mid-watch
And there's a star on the Capitol Dome

It's Christmas Eve in Washington
America's hometown
For it's here that freedom lives
And peace can stand her ground

It's Christmas Eve in Washington
Our joyous wish to you
Is for peace, love and laughter
to last the whole year through

Snowmen peeking through the windows
It's warm with love inside
'Round the tree the children gather
Awaiting Santa's midnight ride

Mom and Dad are counting their blessings
Reflecting on all they've done
So thankful for another
Christmas Eve in Washington

Cabbage Patch Kids - Better Dead Than Red Collector's Edition

I'm familiar with the song, but hadn't known the artist until you just told me.

[ruefullyamused.livejournal.com]

Christmas pr0n!

[crossbonesdj.livejournal.com]

You're right - I was typing too fast and didn't proof.

[emzebel.livejournal.com]

*ROFLMAO*

There are no snowmen here. Unless the gawdawful inflatable ones count.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

However, there are no shortage of straw men....

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can. If he'd only been in Wings, he wouldn't have been famous enough to inflict this on the planet.

[ruefullyamused.livejournal.com]

That does it. Next year I simply *must* put a scarecrow up in the front yard for the holidays, heheheheh.

Neighbor: WTFBBQ?
Me: It's a straw man!

[emzebel.livejournal.com]

Touche!

[emzebel.livejournal.com]

So long as it has a corncob pipe and a santa hat.

It's not that bad of an idea, actually. It sort of makes me wish we'd left up our giant dinosaurs made from dead branches from Halloween...

[ruefullyamused.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, my old place in Pittsburgh still has the skull mobile hanging on the porch from Halloween last year...good all year long! The housemate I lived with is still there and isn't terribly inclined to correct things like that, heh.

At least it's not "Jingle Cats"

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, I know not of this abomination.

[kaliva.livejournal.com]

Be glad of this fact. Be very, very glad!

I win.

Or rather, we all lose.

I am quick with the BACK button, you fucker.
