This was quite the way to start my Monday work week lol

Bad/Good

Up on the House Top Polka by Myron Floren from The Lawrence Well Holiday Special

I can tell I'm going to need counter programming for some of this.

The bad playlist is likely going to be very very bad

I’ll definitely be offering it up at the friends and family Christmas party to see what reactions I get.

The 12 Pains of Christmas-- novelty

I dunno if this ever got traction outside of New England. This guy was a regional DJ.

When I was 15, this was the funniest thing I ever heard.

 

[Eephus]

Funny:
I want a Hippopotamus For Christmas.

Bad? I need to work on that

You can pick a second funny/novelty song if you prefer

ETA: You need to make two picks because AAABatteries beat you to Gayla Peevey's version of I Want a Hippopotamus

 

[Eephus]

So Bad It's Good - Really wish I could pick more than one here... so many options!

Princeton-Where's My Christmas Morning?

Princeton-Where's My Christmas Morning? Released at some point in the late 2000's...can't find any info or the song anywhere else on the internet, so here it is.

soundcloud.com

Not on Spotify.

You can pick another if you like

 

[Eephus]

PLEASE POST SONG AND ARTIST NAME.

I don't care about the order but some of these songs have dozens of versions.

Fine. I actually really like this song, but it's pretty bad. So it fits the "So Bad It's Good" category:

I'll go back to drawing board.

If funny comes up on the dice again, I am already set. I forgot I had stumbled on one the other day that I thought was great.

I would rather listen to that donkey song 1000 times before having to listen to Hasseloff even one more time.
Egregiously bad.

At least it's only half the length of the Maroon 5 song

 

[Yo Mama]

Trying to figure out where rap/hip-hop songs go - soulful? For the kids (I’m old)? Novelty (kidding)?

There’s not a lot (and many would fit in the Bad category a la 2 Live Crew), so they probably don’t deserve their own category, just trying to fit in a few of the good ones.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Funny/Novelty

You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch - Whirling Dervishes

Bad/Good

Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I never heard this until I met my wife, who is half Italian.

I HATE that song - and I am Italian. It actually makes me angry that it's a thing.

The categories are imperfect but as you said, there aren't a ton of holiday hip hop tracks.

Depending on the song, I'd probably go with Soulful or Rockin'.

I have it in the guilty pleasure category myself. You know who ferociously hates it? @krista4

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I find it hilarious that one day in we've already got David Hasselhoff and William Hung.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Bad/bad - This song gets worse as it goes along. Somebody gave David some bad advice.

Deck the Halls - David Hasselhoff

Wow- even the background singers are bad. What's with the extra occasional "la"?

That may have been the worst “music” I’ve heard. Looking at his face on YouTube while it played made me want to punch my phone. I only made it 30 seconds in.

The kids are creepy and even more so that he made them practice all year. Someone needs to tell him the “Sir” is ceremonial.

 

[Keerock]

Damn it... just thought of another funny one...

 

[Eephus]

My daughter @ditkaburgers came over for lunch and will make a couple of funny picks for today. It'll raise my degree of difficulty if she sticks around because we've listened to the same Xmas playlist for most of her life

I loathe it, too. Just ghastly. I'd rather listen to the Hoff.

This could probably fall under either, but we will make it

NOVELTY

Santa Jenny 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone

Magnificent.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My wife has set our SiriusXM to Holly so I’ll probably have a lot more ideas in the coming days.

Julian Casablancas - Christmas Treat

Christmas Treat is the first song on my holiday playlist and one of my absolute favorites.

[Eephus]

Overplayed isn't intended as a pejorative. I'm hoping people choose holiday songs they love that get played a lot for good reason.

It's a Wonderful Life is an overplayed Xmas movie but it's a classic.

WHOA, I totally forgot about this thing! I'm glad you tagged me. Gotta go make some picks!

 

[krista4]

I'll be back with so bad it's awful or whatever after diving into the thread, but a quick search shows my favorite funny has not been chosen yet:

Funny/Novelty:
Back Door Santa - Clarence Carter

I ain't like ol' Saint Nick
He don't come but once a year

 

[krista4]

Novelty song - It Was A Silent Night At least Until Jeff Lynne Arrived, by Grandaddy

I am intrigued!

 

[krista4]

I'll play. I'm not so great with holiday music, so I might have to drop out, but why not?

Novelty/Funny

The Twelve Days Of Christmas

Bob & Doug McKenzie · Song · 2015

open.spotify.com

I won't reprint the lyrics and spoil the jokes.

So Bad It's Good

Do They Know It's Christmas? - 1984 Version

Band Aid · Song · 2004

open.spotify.com

If for any reason people want to know why this is so bad it's good vs. just bad or just good, I'd be more than happy to oblige with an explanation.

Brilliant turn here.

 

[krista4]

Didn't read carefully enough at first and thought we had to pick from each category. Since we don't, let's get both the 1970s Denvers in here.

Novelty/Funny

John Denver and the Muppets - We Wish You a Merry Christmas

 

[krista4]

Apologies to @otb_lifer @otb2huffing for that pick. Please come back!

 

[Eephus]

Category choice is almost as important an element of Palooza rules as the dice.

I have a Soulful that I love and will try to get posted at 12:01 AM. And it shouldn't be too hard to come up with Overplayed.

T minus 1:50 or so and counting. I'm locked and loaded and ready to go also. I was going to pick an Ilov80s favorite that became a favorite of mine, but I'll leave it to him. The spirit of Christmas and the Holidays and all.
