According to Torme this was not originally a Christmas song per se and it was released, I think, in of in 1945, Torme and Bob Wells wrote during the summer of 1945.
Favorites?
Anonymous 4’s “On Yoolis Night” (whole album). Medieval carols sung by angels.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “The Lost Christmas Eve” album, “Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo” in particular. Traditional carols respectfully rocked out.
What about “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses? And “Dominick the Donkey”? Easily two of the most worthless and annoying “Christmas” songs ever.
I didn’t see where the silly comment was terrible enough to get it yanked...I thought it was mildly funny, but...heck, if every mildly funny or even unfunny post gets yanked were in it!
Heck...this one might get pulled. I throw myself at the mercy of the authorities.
Laz’s name is all over this, but would he... you know...?
What’s worse than Little Drummer Boy?
Bob Seger’s version of Little Drummer Boy.
Actually, it does beg the question: What exactly is a “This is a posting-pest free thread”?
How do I know I will be in violation? Heck, I probably am already. Figures.
Stop making fun of my future wife.
Which comment got pulled?

Hate the drummer boy song and that christmas shoes for my dead mother song.
Band aid when they sing better them than you, f yeah. I don’t apologize for living in the greatest country ever.
Yes. That somehow sneaked into my Christmas music collection, and I had to immediately delete it. That and the one by Stevie Nicks, that makes me want to put a rope around my neck it is so annoying.
While a precise definition has yet to be formulated it’s the sort of thing you’ll recognize when you see it.
Stay alert!

Hard? HARD? That song is enough to make me swear off all Christmas music for ALL time.
I don’t think it was so much the content as the fact that he repeated it over 20+ times in a single morning.
Even a good joke can get worn out.
(And in doing so, he became that which he reviled.)
Agreed. Just awful, and Italian restaurants inflict it upon the customers with particular zeal.
On the other hand, I love this one by ELP that most people hate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8facHjO_mU
Could hardly agree more with the top 4 and the list through 8 in general, but I like 9 and love 10.
Any song with Keith Moon on drums rocks. The reason why the cymbals are so hot in the mix is because Moonie caused the mic to fall on the cymbal during the only take. Brilliant, bloody brilliant.
I’m sure Chet hates being reminded of that awful incident involving his manhood.
I find most of the Christmas songs to be OK. The problem is that there are so many interpretations of the same songs. There are some decent versions but most are really really bad. There are many singers with one hit wonders that then think they can sing Christmas songs. This is really sad. By the time December 25th comes around I am looking forward to December 26th and some normalcy on the radio.
