the Ramones "Merry Christmas (I don't want to fight tonight)" maybe not really cheesy but the only one I can play

Thank you Mr Judgemental

The redeeming feature of a Christmas song is the one where the band fail to show up to record it

Now, in the words of Mr Vernon....

[in a voice like artificially flavored maple-like syrup]

"Merry Christmas, darling...
We're apart, that's true,
But I can dream, and in my dreams
I'm Christmassing with you."

By Christmassing, she meant hanging tinsel. *nodnod*

Maybe . . . but that still doesn't stop McCartney's crap-o song from stinking to high Vieux Boulogne.
As much as I hate Christmas songs, I don't find it too bad

Then you REALLY haven't been listening to that synth part

My answer to the question posed by this thread is "Jingle Bell Rock," regardless of whatever "artist" is providing their rendition thereof.

The original "Jingle Bells" is a close second.

Or perhaps I just have some kind of phobia about jingling bells?

I think Slade have the crown when it comes to xmas songs.

For a truly righteous listening experience, I can only commend "James Brown's Funky Christmas."

The essential track is "Santa Go Straight 2Da Ghetto"

Until you've heard this, you don't have a clue what cheese is... JB performs it well, of course (well, duh

)

Now, in the immoral wodes of Mr Vernon....

OMG, I think I bought that once . . . if it's the one I'm thinking of, it sounded like JB was forced to do the vocals over top a cheap GM soundtrack to fulfill a community service obligation as part of his paroll. It wasn't so much cheesy as just plain . . . BAD.

That sounds about right. Three, four decades later but same activity. Canoodlement and serious wooing appear to have been a featured part of this tinsel-strewing deal.

=@.@=

........... No thank you. I used to have to go to rough bars to replace the pool cues (and occasionally table slates) that got broken during that kind of "festivity."

Cheesiest Christmas Song?
