In Keeping with the Christmas Spirit...albeit, Late

There are now 366 radio stations across this great country that play wall-to-wall Christmas music this time of the year. Personally, I think those poor deejays are just a little bit wired after listening to all that stuff.

Too bad they have set play lists. Theses past two weeks, I listened to Little Steven's Underground Garage Christmas shows, and he really played a lot of songs I'd never heard of. Now that was some Christmas music I can really sink my teeth into.

Of course, way too many radio stations pay way too much attention to research companies.

Edison Media Research showed the top 5 loved Christmas songs to be:

1. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting) by Nat King Cole
2. White Christmas by Bing Crosby
3. Do You Hear What I Hear by Johnny Mathis
4. A Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives
5. Little Drummer Boy by Harry Simeone Chorale

Where do you figure "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" ranked?

Top 5 hated songs:

1. Jingle Bells by the Barking Dogs
2. O Holy Night by Cartman (South Park)
3. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer by Elmo and Patsy--shoulda figured
4. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Jackson 5--more Michael backlash
5. Jingle Bells by Barbra Streisand
