    Dumb Christmas Lyrics

    Christmas_musicJordan at MamaBlogga writes about stupid Christmas lyrics:

    And some of them just don’t make any sense.  Here’s my favorite example of a line from a Christmas song that makes no sense whatsoever, in or out of context:


    Christmas comes this time each year.

    Um, yeah. . . . And Thursday comes this time each week.  Thanks for the lesson immemorial about . . . the calendar.

    Ha! I think the song that gets me the most is "Up On The Housetop"-

    First is the stocking of little Will,
    Oh just see what a glorious fill,
    Here is a hammer with lots of tacks,
    A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks!

    While poor, poor Nell only gets a stupid doll:

    Next comes the stocking of little Nell,
    Oh, dear Santa, fill it well!
    (He didn’t. All she got was a doll.)
    Give her a dolly that laughs and cries,
    One that will open and shut its eyes.

    Oh, come ON! Will gets a hammer AND tacks AND a whistle AND a ball AND a really cool whip that really cracks. And all Santa can find for Nell is a stupid, annoying doll that cries all the time? Pah. It irritates me every time I hear the song. HelloKitty and I always sing the "Nell" part in an irritated voice and mimic throwing the crappy doll out the window.

    What about you, Shak-ers? What Christmas songs do you think have dumb lyrics or amuse you?

    You'd go to jail for giving a kid tacks these days, much less a bull-whip.


    The song "Do you hear what I hear" has lyrics: A child, shivers in the cold.
    Let us bring him silver and gold."

    Hello?? How about a freakin' blanket? LOL


    Another one is "Let it Snow." They say, "Since we've nowhere to go, let it snow. Then he says, when it's finally time to go, how I hate going out in the storm." Doh????


    What about "It's the most wonderful time of the year" and its lyrics "THERE'LL BE SCARY GHOST STORIES AND TALES OF THE GLORIES…etc"
    Ghost stories??? On Xmas??? The only one I can think of is Dickens' Christmas Carol. But that's more of a song about redemption. Also, it's only one story. I don't see multiple stories being told.


    hahaha…christmas songs of fail !!!
