The Christmas Thread

[The Squirrel]

Jingle Bells.

 

[Bim]

"Seasons of Love" from Rent, and "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. I keep hearing them on the radio station that's playing all Christmas music.

Thank u! i keep hearing a version of Eddy Fisher singing it and i wondered what the heck it had to do with Christmas

 

[Immortalfire]

I hate that damned Christmas Shoes song

Jingle Bells...doesn't even say Christmas in it.

I have no idea either...but I have to admit, I need to watch the movie every Christmastime.

Jingle bell rock

 

[Manic]

Baby It's Cold Outside

Not only is that song not about Christmas, but it's about a woman who's about to get raped. It is literally the last song anyone should listen to at Christmas.

Linus & Lucy

 

[Sentinel X]

I don't get it...95% of the songs mentioned here have something to do with Christmas

Do the songs have to specifically talk about the birth of Jesus or say the word christmas in it to be an official chrismas song?

 

[Immortalfire]

Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, Frosty The Snowman and so on have no mention at all of Christmas. Much less Jesus or Santa.

Linus & Lucy

The songs that came out of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" all qualify because it ties into the special about Christmas.

If they don't specifically mention Jesus, Christmas or Santa Claus (St. Nicolas, Kris Kringle), then how can you say they're about Christmas? Many people associate them with Christmas because they were part of some movie or show that had to do with Christmas, but that DOES NOT make the song about Christmas. Just because a song is about winter, it doesn't make it about Christmas.

Is every Love song about Valentine's day?

The song "Jump in the Line" was used in the movie Beetlejuice, does that make it a Hallowe'en song?

Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Although technically it is a Christmas song, I heard some new stupid-a** song at work today about some guy wanting Santa to bring him Taylor Swift for Christmas. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

You mean AC/DC's "Mistress For Christmas?"

 

[Arc-Light]

Elf 2: Zombie Eve

[Lantern Venom]

I heard that damn Christmas Shoes song today while scanning radio. I quickly turned it off

I LOVE that song. If I ever see a CD single, I buy it for you.

I'm not going to sit here and deny that it brings to mind xmas when I hear it this time of year. But it also brings to mind Halloween because it's the same song that opens "It's the Great Pumpkin", and makes an appearence in every other Peanuts special.

 

[JAK®]

Those lists are both missing Die Hard.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

and Bad Santa

 

[Drizzle]

Not only is that song not about Christmas, but it's about a woman who's about to get raped. It is literally the last song anyone should listen to at Christmas.

My God......you're absolutely right.

 

[gn6196]

My God......you're absolutely right.

I don't see it as an impending rape. I see it as a man talking his way into an intimate night with a woman that's already attracted to him.

 

[The Question]

I don't see it as an impending rape. I see it as a man talking his way into an intimate night with a woman that's already attracted to him.

One of the lyrics is "Hey, what's in this drink?"

Hey, what's in this drink.

 

[Immortalfire]

One of the lyrics is "Hey, what's in this drink?"

Hey, what's in this drink.

I never noticed that

But then again, I don't think I've ever heard the song all the way through.
