What do you mean -- "enough said"?

You mean, "T-T-T-T-T-That's all, folks!"

From Entertainment Weekly's

From Entertainment Weekly's list of "Christmas bummers:"

"Prince, ''Another Lonely Christmas''
Not only is his girlfriend gone, not only is she dead, but she died...on December 25! (Of pneumonia, or strep — he's not sure.) Of course, this being a Prince song, there's a verse devoted to fondly remembering her naked. "

Most annoying on your list? "Last Christmas" by Wham, by far.

I just heard Porky Pig singing "Blue Christmas." Enough said.

My radio station of choice,

jolirosa — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 13:13:56 -0600

My radio station of choice, through out the year, but especially at Christmas, is 98.5 KTIS. Trust me, the best place to hear Christmas music that doesn't get annoying, is where they play music about the true meaning of Christmas. It frustrates me that my 3 year old niece doesn't have a clue to the real meaning of Christmas, and too many of these songs don't help much. Don't get me wrong, I heard the Chipmunk song on there the other day, but rather then being annoyed I had to laugh. I don't think I had heard it since I was a kid.

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" is

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" is actually a very tolerable movie. Totally formulaic and predictable, but those dang CGI chipmunks are adorable. I wanted to take that pudgy little Theodore home with me.

I don't think anyone has

I don't think anyone has mentioned the "Ding Fries Are Done" parody song to the tune of some traditional Christmas tune. That one is truly annoying.

I can top all of these

Joanna Miller — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:30:34 -0600

I can top all of these songs (even the Alvin and the Chipmunks) for Worst Christmas Song.

Does anyone remember a little tune called "Funky Funky Christmas" by New Kids on the Block?

You have to go to the link to check out the dance moves with this one!

Sadly, Alvin and the

Mark Olson — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:05:45 -0600

Sadly, Alvin and the Chipmunks could soon be on the "worst holiday movie" list as well as the "most annoying holiday song" list -- if the trailer is any indication.

And how does Jason Lee go from an enjoyable comedy series like "My Name is Earl," to movies like "Underdog" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks"?

Oh, and for the record, I like "The Chipmunks Song" (in moderation).

I actually own the Elmo &

Ruth Anne Maddox — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:33:59 -0600

I actually own the Elmo & Patsy ALBUM with "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" on it. But, since I don't own a turntable, I can't listen to it over and over like I used to -- but I still know almost all the words and can sing it if someone asks nicely.

That same circle of vinyl also has another of my favorite worst songs: "Percy the Puny Poinsettia," which tells listeners that "If he had just been kept wetta, he'd be a house plant today."

It's actually very annoying, but I find myself singing it -- even now -- because it's very catchy!

My pick would be "A Day in

jennyjean4 — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:20:25 -0600

My pick would be "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles. I think that crazy middle section is both intense and brilliant and could snap us all back into the daily grind.

I like to think about KOOL

Mollee Francisco — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:04:28 -0600

I like to think about KOOL 108 and 102.9 LITE FM staff sitting around debating what song they should play when the Christmas music ends. After a month-plus of holiday tunes, what song do you jolt everyone back to reality with?

Even the best Christmas

Shadow — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:50:49 -0600

Even the best Christmas songs get tiring by Christmas Day.
We start playing Christmas music around the house around Decemeber 1st, and by the 20th I've had enough already!

I didn't vote it as the

Zeke — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:38:09 -0600

I didn't vote it as the worst, but I know what steinie and Drayzen mean about Feliz Navidad. Especially with that song becoming the new jingle for the Taco Bell commercials. Maybe Jose Feliciano needs the money, but I'm gonna get real sick of that song real soon.

Call me Scrooge but all

mittens — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:02:56 -0600

Call me Scrooge but all Christmas music grates on my nerves unless I'm elbow deep in Christmas cookies or decorating my fake tree.

Christmas Shoes is horribly

jennyjean4 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:01:47 -0600

Christmas Shoes is horribly annoying. Its overly earnest singer goes on way too long and trys way too hard to tug at the heart strings. I guess I'm just cold hearted, but I find the whole song so obviously schmultzy it's annoying.

What is the most annoying holiday song?
