All Christmas songs should be banned from being played until a week before Christmas. I want someone working in a mall to sue the mall for aural torture with their repeated playing fo Christmas stuff long before the event.
Anything gets ‘old’ after a while. Makes me think of being in a grocery store yesterday and an announcement that ‘fresh bread had just came out of the oven in the bakery………’ kept playing and playing for over six minutes and finally someone turned off the PA system and a ‘round of applause’ went up in the store ! ! ! ! !
I recommend this one, especially the later section where Jon Anderson take the high part, as Sandra Crouch takes the lower part in the duet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBRUtvgyyIE
This is a story, told by my now late parents. In 1986, they were driving to visit my sister in Omaha. They had driven out of range of a radio statin and found a new one that was playing “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reinndeer.” It ended, and then began to play again — and again, when my mother changed the channel. It turned out that a DJ who had “something to work out about Christmas” played Elmo & Patsy’s song SIXTEEN TIMES in a row. At least, that’s how many times he played it before they broke down the studio door and put him on an extended leave. I know, it sounds like an urban legend, bu my parents swore that it was true.
Sorry, but that is not true. Most novelty songs only work once. There are some good ones that I want to hear at least once every year (Snoopy, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, The 12 pains of Christmas).
Most Novelty Christmas songs get a ban from me after hearing them 2 times.
I wonder what novelty Christmas song Calvin was singing? Something from Bob Rivers’s “Twisted Christmas” album? At least he wasn’t singing it in November, like when a similar incident happened… https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2022/11/14
Yeah, me too. BUT, while sitting in the dentist chair this afternoon, I found it refreshing to hear The Grandfather of Rock n Roll play “Run Rudolph Run”. Long live the great Chuck Berry!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiadNVhaGwk

Maybe Grandma got run over by a reindeer brings back traumatizing memories she doesn’t like to talk about.

With age comes wisdom… or death… or expulsion. And wisdom is that NOTHING is funny if repeated more than once.

It’s her own fault. On the first day of Christmas, Calvin’s mother gave to him a Japanese transistor radio.
