The one that irks you most ....
Ok, Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat, and that annoying Christmas music is assaulting your ears wherever you turn ... so what is the song that bugs you the most. Is it that "Little Drummer Boy" masterpiece that makes you want to grab the little jerk's drum and shove it where the sun don't shine ... or is it some other "timeless classic" piece of crap?
For me, it is "O Holy Night" by Sealion Dion (1998) ... It's not the carol itself, but the way she belts it out ... about as subtle as a Dave Cement Head hockey check ....

Re: The one that irks you most ....
Thanks to a certain TV advert, which seems to have been running for months, I want to scream every time Perry Como warbles at me that it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

"Here come the girls" - being used in (at least) three different adverts at the moment.

Mistletoe and Wine really gets my goat, to think the young Cliff was a fair rocknroller.

Re: The one that irks you most ....
The best seller for me I'm afraid. Bing Crosby and "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas". The slurs from note to note seriously affects my ear drums, and who the hek wants to be grounded behind snow covered doors on Christmas Day !

That's me (sorry, used the wrong form of the pronoun), but if I were to be inside (see, I used the subjunctive, and I didn't split the infinitive) on Christmas Day, I would consider listening to Bing (inadvertent rhyme) an extreme form of torture ....
Talking of extreme forms of Christmas musical torture, "Feliz Navidad" Arrrrggghhhh ...
By the way, are you guys going to be wishing one another "Merry Christmas", or that alternate crap, "Happy Holidays"?
