I’d never heard of “The Christmas Shoes” until this thread. I have now listened to 37 seconds of it, and I think that’s enough.
Drugs are bad, mmmmm’kay?
“Say, what’s in this drink?” Have a Roofies Christmas!
My endurance is a whole 4 seconds stronger than yours.
(what a wretched song)
Man, I wish I were you. I first heard this last Christmas. At the dentist. While having a filling replaced, so I could neither shut off the damn thing, or even tell someone to shut it off.
Second worst Christmas memory ever.
So are you going to, uh, drop the other shoe…?
Didn’t have to think about it for one second: I Wonder As I Wander. When I was a kid and we had to go suffer through the midnight Christmas Eve service, the same girl sang this same song every year and it seemed like it went on for EONS.
I came to dread this part of the service and now I shkeeve when I hear it. Like, I will reject any Christmas CD that has the song on it.
You people have good intentions, but c’mon…nearly 200 posts in with but a single (overlooked) mention of the aural horror that is:
I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas???
This tells me, quite simply, that y’all are not familiar with this song.
Please, click the link. DO NOT exit before at least hearing that child’s smooth, wonderful instrument that is her voice.
Then come back and tell me I’m wrong.
mmm
On the other hand, have you heard “Green Christmas” (aka “Deck the Halls With Advertising”, by the wish-he-had-been immortal, Stan Freberg? If not, check out <http://www.wepsite.de/Freberg,%20GREEN%20CHRI$TMA$.htm>!
At another place I read, someone sincerely posted how much she loved Christmas Shoes and its movie. And misspelled her post.
I died a little inside.
(But I don’t want shoes as my last Christmas gift.)
I had a sudden visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past, and he left me a memory of this:
It’s the same idea as “Christmas Shoes,” but without going overboard.
I gather that you never saw her perform the number in “New Faces of 1954” then.
Few people would probably choose “Jingle Bells.” But the Thais keep singing Jinger Ben, and the cuteness of that wears off pretty darned quickly, I’ll clue ya.
Beach Boys Christmas album.
Here’sa better link.
Someone pass me the flamethrower. Frosty is going down!
“Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…”
That’s the only one that I really can’t stand that I’ve seen listed so far.
Alvin whining about a hula hoop comes in a distant second.
