This one I don't mind. It was on the radio (again) when I was waking up this morning:

Sometimes Christmas comes before it drives me nuts, sometimes not.
And that blasted George Michael one that goes "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart..." YUK!
I know exactly what you mean. I'm sick of several. One of the few radio stations that will come in decently on my mail route has been playing all Christmas songs and someone told me about it, so I thought, great. No, not great at all. They seem to have about five songs that are done by millions of singers and they cycle through them over and over. Little Drummer Boy is one of them,Have Yourself a Merry Little Chirstmas, White Christmas and the Christmas Song(chesnuts roasting on an open fire) and Winter Wonderland . I am throughly sick of all of the above in all of their many renditions and would not mind if I never heard them again.
Today I've heard the Medival Gloria in my head, that we're doing for Christmas Eve service all day long. Of course I hear the tenor line only so that makes for a pretty weird"tune". but that's the tune for today.

I think it would be interesting if one station would play every recorded version of "Sleigh Bells" one after the other, then every version of "Jingle Bells," etc. But finding them all and putting that together would take more thought than playing the same 5 or 6 songs over and over and over and over . . . . .

I don't expect anyone to agree, but I absolutely hate "The Coventry Carol" to pieces. Whoever thought that "little tiny child" was a good form of words should be burned at the stake, and all that awful major-to-minor-to-major-picardy-thirds stuff makes me puke. I heard a terrible version on the radio today, with extra harmonies (as if it needed them) and jingling bells. So why is it buzzing round my head all day?

That's kinda what this station has done- those few songs, played over and over, each time by someone different.Charlene wrote:I think it would be interesting if one station would play every recorded version of "Sleigh Bells" one after the other, then every version of "Jingle Bells," etc. But finding them all and putting that together would take more thought than playing the same 5 or 6 songs over and over and over and over . . . . .

'Cause it's a good tune?So why is it buzzing round my head all day?
I really love that one if done well. I particularly like the version in our hymnal with the "burden" at the begining and end.
I'm not really into playing it as a Christmas tune though. The slaughter of the Innocents doesn't really pop to my mind when I think Christmas carol.

Though I have no desire to actually go there, the chorus to <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqEMXxuwvAg">Graceland</A> keeps popping into my head when I'm driving and its quiet.

That means two of your tyres are soft, on opposite corners. Either that or you're driving on a concrete road rather than asphalt. With regular expansion gaps every 20 yards. Thump -click-. Thump -click-. Insistent rhythms have a meaning, man!djm wrote:Though I have no desire to actually go there, the chorus to <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqEMXxuwvAg">Graceland</A> keeps popping into my head when I'm driving and its quiet.

I always sing the blues (in my head) when I'm riding a train... "...'cross that lonesome trestle, calling, whoo-eee..."
