The Top 10 Months of 2004
It's that time of year for everyone to count down everything, from songs to movies to events to people who died. I choose to countdown the 5 worst holiday songs I heard this season:
5. "Jingle Bell Rock". Every year they play it, and every year it's horribly out of place. Christmas is not about rocking.
4. "Santa Baby". Not only is the song about unquenchable greed, but it really sounds like the woman is trying to seduce Santa Claus. There's just something horribly horribly wrong about that.
3. "Forecasting Good Cheer", at least I think that's what the song was called. It was "sung", and I use the term extremely loosely, by 2 local KC weathermen and featured many weather-related puns. None of the lyrics explained why they forecast less than an inch of snow on the day before Thanksgiving while we got over 8 inches.
2. "Here Comes Santa Claus". Somewhere between when the song was written by Gene Autry and today it got bastardized with cringeworthy lyrics like "Santa Claus knows we're all Gods children, That makes everything right" and my personal favorite "So let's give thanks to the lord above that Santa Claus comes tonight!"
1. "Mary's Boy Child". Nothing says Christmas like a Jamaican woman referring to Jesus as a "boy child". I wonder who was the baby daddy?
