Michael Cain sings along to his lost love in an airy-fairy ballad about the "love" being "gone". I think the official title is When Love is Gone. (Took them a while to think that one up, eh? lol)<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Amy!

The last part of the chorus goes "He ate all the cookies, and he drank all of Daddy's beer." It's quite discouraging for Christmas, because this dad is down in the dumps. <br /><br />Oh, and the song you posted is kinda sweet.

Thought I remember this story going around the internet before it became a song. You know, one of those chain e-mails that you have to send off or terrible things will happen to you? That explains a lot, really.<br /><br />I nominate "Blue Christmas." sung by Elvis Presley. Man this song annoys me. I keep thinking Blue Man Group and I just can't abide all the "A-whoa, a-whoas."

I don't think there'...Love your contest Amy! I don't think there's any song that comes close to the cheesiness of yours, though. I have to agree with everyone.. it's really, really sappy. <br />Mine's not cheesy so it probably doesn't officially belong in the contest but it's been rattling around in my head for weeks now and it's driving me nuts. I remember loving it as a kid but now it sorta rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the tree-hugger side of me but, my most UNfavorite song now is Christopher the Christmas Tree. I can't find the lyrics on line but it goes something like this (and it's not like I know all the words but . . .) "Christopher was a Christmas tree, a perfect little fir was he, who lived though most unhappily in the great north woods. He was sad as a tree could be, he cried and sighed as constantly, he wished that everyone could see.. just how straight he stood. Now all around our little Chris much taller timbers grew. The woodsman never noticed him and his forest friends were few! Then one day cold and wintry, he heard some children shout with glee as they viewed him most admiringly and he understood"<br /><br />bla, bla, bla, bla bla bla ... on and on it goes. Old Chris gets his wish and the kids cut him down, lug him home and string an assortment of stuff off his now dying branches. Unmentioned in the song is the fact that, as soon as the holidays are over our little protagonist gets hacked into small pieces and used as kindling. Either that, or he's flung, unceremoniously into the yard for the garbage man to haul off. <br />Anyway.. not really cheesy but it is sorta dumb when viewed from the tree's perspective.Linda Leschakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635926863962198064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-26780765734157131312010-12-15T19:48:22.359-08:002010-12-15T19:48:22.359-08:00Amy, this is so fun!

But, each time I'm like Gabe, "Why does she need shoes? She's not taking them with her?" <br />OK, for my Scrooge Mood it has to be "Let it Snow". I do like the song, but this year it is driving me crazy. Probably because, I can sing it all I want, but we will NOT snow here in the subtropics. Today I should sing, "Let it rain, Let it rain! Let it rain!" But, I want the rain to stop...so I don't like that either. <br />Ba.Hum.Bug. <br />=)MaDonna Maurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157381592556792198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-26470586041801950412010-12-15T15:45:20.763-08:002010-12-15T15:45:20.763-08:00I'm going to go with the horribly over-played,...I'm going to go with the horribly over-played, suicide-tinged but oh-so-danceable Christmas classic...Last Christmas by Wham.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gmARGvPlItaylorcalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970131103434901885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-3707962581235006802010-12-15T13:11:31.351-08:002010-12-15T13:11:31.351-08:00It might not be quite the same calibre of cheesine...It might not be quite the same calibre of cheesiness as your nomination but I'm going to nominate 'All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth'.

And although I am quite a weeper (ask my fam) it did not make me cry. Here's why--I was distracted by noticing the synchronization of the singer and the little boy's speech. It was as if the video director thought "we better synch the boy's speech with the singer...or else folks might not get that the singer is singing what the boy is saying to the cashier." I guess they think we are pretty dumb and wanted to make sure we got it.
