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)
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
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
"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.
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
I am relieved to see the let it place list includes christmas shoes
so it can be properly placed last
that reminds me, i have a song to fill in
Christmas With A Capital C, the proper last place worst Christmas song
I am listening to this now
This is a bold claim and I hope you can deliver
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"

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
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
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!

The impromptu John Carpenter score on this week's We Hate Movies was great
3 of them are Last Christmas
I'm sorry

or two weeks, on a let's place schedule

what do you hate about it, honest question
Right up speed's alley
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
but I also think she's adorable so I'm biased
If not, why not?
in case anyone's trying to decide what to get me for christmas
so it can be properly placed last
Hate to break it to you, buddy, but Arin's taken.
Some CAH goofs are funny, some are super lame

to be totally honest i don't believe that they're going to cut it until it happens
they've done fakeouts before
Jesus shoes is terrible and tacky
but it's not outright offensive and cruel in the way Christmas with a Capital C is

It's like somebody made a bad song out of a conservative radio rant and yelling at my computer isn't helping at all
i'm honestly, genuinely sorry for bringing it into your life, and giving that song power accordingly
It made me appreciate christmas shoes more!
EDIT: And now we have intra-city beef back!
it forces you to see the tiny kernels of goodness buried deep, deep in even the worst of songs
