Most Annoying Christmas Song Ever?

By Colin 7 Comments
Categories: holidays and recorded music

I’ve been listening to Songs for Christmas by Sufjan Stevens lately and there are lots of good songs on this collection.  There are even a few great songs.  However, there is one song that I cannot stand: “The Little Drummer Boy”.  It’s not that Stevens does a bad job with the song.  It’s just that the song is terrible in its very nature.  I have not ever heard a good version of this song.  The song is so repetitive and gimmicky that I think it would be impossible to record a good version of this song without completely changing it.  I submit this as my candidate for the Most Annoying Christmas Song Ever (MACSE).  Does anyone have any other candidates for this dubious distinction?  Let me know.

Not what you want to see

When I started up my computer this morning, I got an error message from my anti-virus software telling me that an error had occurred while the error reporting service was not running. So, it asked me if I wanted to process/report the error. I clicked “yes”. This launched a web browser, which promptly displayed the following message:

Evidently, they don’t have a good system for reporting errors in the error reporting system, so they just give you an email address. I just find it funny when stuff like this happens.
