Re: Worst Christmas Song

*chuckle*

Sorry if I've offended the anonymous president of the Steve and Eydie Fan Club or something, but if you come back (assuming you're not just a random troll with an IP address that makes it look as if you are hard at work at the Chrysler Corporation), I hope you'll note that there are some folks who've commented above who clearly like this kind of "holiday music," and that's great. I don't like cheesy holiday music and shudder at sentimental, sappy lines, but everybody doesn't have to think like me.

Just so you know, a duet is any musical composition for two voices. The word can also refer to the performers themselves, if they characteristically perform together. "Duet" doesn't necessarily imply a cheesy line-by-poorly-written-line tradeoff between a couple of crooners. I mean, really: "Look how the snow is snowing"? It just doesn't do a thing for me.

I'm sure if I looked hard enough, I could find some electric guitar duets, actually, but I don't have time to do that today. Besides, I don't like a lot of music that is electric guitar-driven, personally.

Elvis' version of "White Christmas" is pretty dire, it's true. For me, any version of "White Christmas" is pretty dire, though. I'm not sure about "And So This is Christmas," honestly; to me it's just another pop song that gets played at Christmastime.
