"Christmas Shoes" — yea or nay?

[Erika]

I HATE Christmas Shoes. It's like someone sat down and decided to come up with the most gut-wrenching sentence he could think of and then built a book/song around that. Because no one should smile on Christmas, or ever be happy ever again.

Now that is Christmas gold. :king: :lol:

I do believe Christmas Shoes has the distinction of being the only Christmas song ever to make me shout "What the **** was that?!?" at the radio.

 

[DMC-12]

Hate it. HATE!! :fork::fork:

I actually once heard a parody version of "Winter Wonderland" over the radio years ago. Haven't heard it since...

On Youtube, however, there is this version of that song:

Walking in My Winter Underwear

:lookaroun

Ah one ah and ah two ah....that was great! Thank you for sharing this..the look on my two year old when he starts singing about his underware was priceless!

 

[MAF]

The song was written obviously to "tug at the heartstrings." Personally the whole song makes me :hurl:. Pure drivel with no real emotion behind it at all...

 

[The Mom]

Maybe it's just me, but if I were on my deathbed, the last thing I would want my son to be doing is running around trying to find me a pair of shoes so I would "look nice to meet Jesus."

If I'm dying, I want to hold you for as long as I can, and when I can't, I want you to hold me, thank you very much!

Wow, I never realized that this song was hated so much. I was sitting on the side of the road watching for people misbehaving last Saturday, and I heard it for there first time ever. Really a sad song, but I don't hate it. With that in mind, how do the masses feel about Skip Ewing's "My name is Christmas Carol"? Here is a link to the song if you have never heard it.

I don't know if any of you have heard The Cat Carol? No one in my family can listen to it. Here's a link for you...www.thecatcarol.com

Ugh...so depressing!

I just made the connection that Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey mentions shoes in the song. This is now my official song of Christmas Shoes.

Of course the tag inside says "Made in Brook-a-lean"

Perhaps Jesus has a "No shoes, no shirt, no service" policy :veryconfu :shrug: :lookaroun

Annnnyway... I agree with you 100% :king:

I just realized that we never find out about the Mom.:lookaroun



Maybe it was all for nothing and the kid scammed the store and the guy out of a pair of shoes.:lookaroun:lol:

Just proof that people are morbid and nuts.:zipit::hurl::lol:

 

[wdwmomof3]

Gee, I was in such a good mood this morning, but after watching the video I am now depressed. That was so sad. It's fine for the movie but not something that I would want hear everyday or on the radio.

 

[palmage]

It is just about as bad as "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer"!

Oh gawd I had to listen to that song for three and a half hours straight during a boat parade last year.

By the way the Shoe song is so beyond bad:fork:

And to think Rezso Seress's "Gloomy Sunday" is depressing...

It's a kid's song when compared to THAT.

Sorry if it's too late now, but found this one poignant and depressing for playing during Xmas....

I like to laugh and make fun of how awful it is. It really takes a turn for the worst when the kids choir jumps in.

"Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" is the second worst Christmas song.
