    Any Klezmer or polka covers of Last Christmas we can sneak in there. Gotta have every genre represented.

    I would do Christmas Carols but I'll probably be playing games with friends who've been too busy to play for months.

    OH THIS REMINDS ME OF A PODCAST I ALSO WANTED TO DO ABOUT CHRISTMAS MUSIC

    i wanted to do a podcast listening to and exploring failed attempts at making the next "All I Want For Christmas Is You"

    your "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays," your "My Only Wish (This Year," for example

    pop songs from popular acts included on christmas albums that flopped

    both to make fun of them, but also try and explain why no song has sort of filled that role in 21 years (with the possible exception of I Wish It Was Christmas Today)

    As I noted in the google doc, Let It Snow has well over 200 different artists listed in its wikipedia article who did a cover of it

    you can straight up do a podcast just ranking versions of one christmas song, do five an episode, and have it last you five months on a weekly schedule

    or two weeks, on a let's place schedule

    A few days ago I heard a Christmas song

    It was somehow the first time I'd ever heard it, which is rare for Christmas songs, but I think it immediately became the worst Christmas song I've ever heard

    And that song is Christmas Wrapping, by The Waitresses

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    "Let it Snow" is the only song on the Homestuck Christmas Album that is just a straight cover of an existing carol without being remixed with other music or otherwise modified for a theme. That's not really relevant to anything, but I Felt like sharing.

    wait i love christmas wrapping

    what do you hate about it, honest question

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User, Moderator mod
    doing a series about covers of one song sounds like some real masochistic podcasting
    Right up speed's alley

    anyone who agrees to do the "let it place" podcast (working title) must also agree to listen to every song they are asked to place

    I hate, like, her voice, and the way she kinda lazily talks her way through it
    I have no idea what this rhyme scheme is, things seem to rhyme accidentally on occasion
    That horn riff is really jarring
    The chorus is just, just bad, I can't describe it in actual terms but it is just not good

    Carly Rae Jepsen's cover of Last Christmas is pretty alright

    but I also think she's adorable so I'm biased

    Are you listening to the version that starts with a Conservative Comedian(TM) talking about how "USED TAH BE YA COULD SAY "MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LOWENSTEIN" AND HE'D BE FINE WITH IT"

    because that's a big part of it

    Yes I am

    and I am super unhappy with the previous four minutes of my life

    I didn't think there existed a song that could dethrone jesus shoes

    Jesus shoes is terrible and tacky

    but it's not outright offensive and cruel in the way Christmas with a Capital C is

    it betrays the spirit of the very holiday it purports to defend, and is the worst Christmas song ever written

  • Dex DynamoDex Dynamo Registered User regular
    like, thinking about it, i'm tempted to take it back off the list, because it might be so bad that it's beyond being fun, and just becomes uncomfortable

    I was genuinely unhappy immedietly after listening to that song, in a way christmas shoes just doesn't match

    It's like somebody made a bad song out of a conservative radio rant and yelling at my computer isn't helping at all

    if anything, that's the only reason to include Christmas with a Capital C on the list

    it forces you to see the tiny kernels of goodness buried deep, deep in even the worst of songs

    Yeah I mean I really hate Wonderful Christmastime with a passion but it's not offensive, it's just shitty and... McCartney, you could do so much better, you nerd!

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    I wonder if wonderful christmastime's awfulness is entirely on its own merits, or if it seems worse than it is because we know mccartney can do better
