    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Does "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" exist?

    If it doesn't, I can like this reality.

    No that exists, it is just better than all of these songs.

    You may think I'm joking, but I'm not. There's a joke here, but it's a joke at our expense.

    I like "Jingle Bell Rock", but I don't think there are more than a teeny tiny handful of covers of that song which are actually good.
  • OdradekOdradek

    I am rescinding this list, as all these songs are better than the music I heard at Barnes and Noble a few days ago.

    Agreed.

    It's alongside "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" in terms of songs where covers just can't do the original justice.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    You are quantifiably wrong and I will fight you.

    And that also goes for the Animal Collective song of the same name which has little to do with the original.

    I don't think any of them make the top five worst, because let's face it, the bar is pretty high (low?).  But I reserve a special hatred for the generic manufactured soft-jazz-rock stuff like Jingle Bell Rock.  It's just so...lazy.

    TBF, "Jingle Bell Rock" came from the era when rock 'n' roll in general sounded like that.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Uh, yeah, I was gonna say, "You are aware when those songs are from, right?"
  • BeeBee
    Well yeah, but it's like Sinatra minus the soul.  It's a genre that's very easy to do, but very difficult to do well.

    I forgot that I pretty much despise We Need A Little Christmas (Right This Very Minute) because most of the versions I've heard sound incessantly irritating, as if you're being shouted at that WE NEED CHRISTMAS by a bunch of Broadway actors

    Zeether: The best version of that I've ever heard was by The Muppets, from A Muppet Family Christmas back in the 1980s.

    Huh. Sufjan Stevens covered that one, and I never realized it was a cover version.

    The album as a whole is kind of bipolar, so his version fits right in with the manic phase.

    How is this thread going long enough not to include "Santa Baby"

    I drove across an entire state (like a big one, not Connecticut) and (a) I heard none of these except one (b) I hated everything I heard, seriously, you are a radio station run by Spanish speakers, there must be something better than Feliz Navidad (c) even the muppet twelve days of christmas didn't satisfy

    The original "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt I like, but the covers are pretty annoying.

    Taylor Swift? Sorry, girl, but I don't believe that you and your innocent teenage girl voice could seduce Santa Claus.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Jimmy Eat World's cover of 'Last Christmas' is my favorite but I love Jimmy Eat World in general.

    I always associate them with the one song from Burnout 3.

    I don't like any versions of "Santa Baby".

    But yeah, "Hey Santa" is even worse.

    ...but then, I can't think of any Christmas songs I do like. Hmm.

    The cool thing about that version is that you can pretend it's part of an evil plot by '60s Catwoman.

    I feel like I'd enjoy the Charlie Brown songs more if they weren't played fucking everywhere.

    ^ That.  That fucking song.

    It's on like every fifth commercial in the States, and on the Christmas playlist of every shop and restaurant.

    Everyone likes that tune, though. Even you.

    I have to assume that Myr heard some terrible cover of it and he's putting it in his list based on that.

    I know that the implication of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" was that it was his dad dressed as Santa Claus, but I didn't know what the lyrics were at the time and just assumed that it went like an elaborate holiday cuckolding porno.

    It doesn't help that the most famous cover of it is powered by child abuse.
