Christmas Music Keeps Blasting In Our Ears Everywhere, And Here Are 30 Of The Funniest Tweets About It
Every year, when we approach the holiday season, Christmas music starts blasting in our ears, whether we like it or not. And that forms a kind of love-hate relationship between people and Christmas music. Yes, it's fun listening to it, but at the same time, it gets tiring very easily when the same songs play over and over again anywhere you go. So, today we are looking at the best tweets that best describe how we probably all feel about the holiday season's music.

Christmas music often is categorized into three types: carols, classical music, and modern songs.
Carols are the oldest type of Christmas music, dating back as far as the 12th century in Europe. Classics we all know, such as “Silent Night” and “O Christmas Tree”, have German origins.
Also, although it might seem that carols have religious origins, in reality, it is a misconception. Instead, they were folk songs and hymns, which celebrated the winter season. Some of them had dances meant for them. Even the word “carol” actually means to dance in a ring.
Additionally, back in the 17th and 18th centuries, some folklorists collected all of the carols being sung around England and published them in songbooks. And that popularized carols even more, to the extent that they reached our days.
Some examples of the most popular Christmas carols that a lot of people know today are “Deck The Halls”, “The First Noel” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

If you are a fan of Poe, *The Fall of the House of Usher* on Netflix was chock-full of clever Easter eggs.

SO many easter eggs! I got all giddy with each one. I'd turn to my husband and be like, "that was for *me*! It was for me and my kind! 🥲"

The second type of Christmas music we mentioned was classical music. Just as its name suggests, these are musical pieces that were produced by classical composers, for example, Vivaldi, Bach, and Mendelssohn, to name a few.
Like the carols, some classical Christmas music is also rooted in local traditions. For example, Mykola Leontovych took quite a lot of inspiration from a Ukrainian folk chant while writing “Carol of the Bells.”
Listening to classical Christmas music has even become a tradition in certain countries, where they go to listen to symphony orchestras playing these songs.

Between the 1930s and 1950s, Christmas music experienced its own renaissance. During this period, songs started focusing on more commercial or just non-religious aspects of Christmas, like Santa, the Christmas tree, and snowmen. And that's how modern Christmas music came to be.
From then on, most of the Christmas songs were sung by popular musicians instead of carolers in the street or church choirs.
Nearly 100 years after the Christmas music renaissance started, these songs remain extremely popular. For example, the song written back in 1934 and called “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” is the most played song of the past 50 years.

If you add up all the gifts in this song, there are 364...one for every day of the year EXCEPT Christmas. (Don't forget that they're cumulative. Day 1: a partridge in a pear tree. Day 2: 2 turtledoves AND another partridge in a pear tree. And so on.)
Various names in the music industry covered a variety of modern Christmas songs and released their own Christmas albums. The list of names includes The Jackson Five, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Bing Crosby, and so on; the list is nearly endless.
Of course, the topic of modern Christmas music wouldn't be complete without mentioning such iconic songs as "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey; "Last Christmas" by Wham!; and "Feliz Navidad" by José Feliciano, which have become sort of holiday spirit staples. And just like the list of artists above, the list of Christmas songs that are beloved by many is also nearly endless.

The original lyrics translation is not so merry. The opening words are a type of bird. Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka, A swallow has flown, It began to twitter, And call the master: “Come out, come out, O Master, Take a look at the sheep pen, There the ewes have given birth, And the lambkins have been born, All your goods are great, And you will be rich Though not money, it is chaff — You have a dark-eyebrowed wife Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivochka, A swallow has flown.

The original song was intended to be sung for the new year in Ukraine, which they used to celebrate at the beginning of spring. It is intended to be encouraging that the people will prosper. Here is a good example: https://youtu.be/HERnFfbcIxY?si=a2XPj6hrbMQuihkN

This song needs to be listened in the context of the social mores of the day it was written - it's not creepy, he's not trying to manipulate her - meanwhile, the Police song "I'll be watching you" - is still being played at weddings and is not a love song it is actually a stalker song. - some peeps really need some critical thinking skills.
Michael Largey 2 years ago (edited)
The composers, a married couple named Frank Loesser and Lynn Garland,, said they wrote it to be creepy - or rather to mock creepy guys like this. In the original score, the man is identified as "Wolf" and the woman as "Mouse". They sang it at parties and agreed that it should never be released publicly because it would be misunderstood. When they divorced, Frank decided to cash in and not to honor their agreement because, as he admitted, "I'm the evil of two Loessers."

I forget when it was but a while back there was one of those 'celebrity' Christmas shows on TV. Yeah, I was bored! The only act I remember is this being sung by Lady Gaga & Joseph Gorden-Levitt but they switched it around so Lady Gaga was doing the man's part & Joseph was doing the woman's (& surprisingly well!). It was a really interesting turn on this song!

She's not actually singing to the literal Santa, she's singing to her sugar daddy and playfully comparing him to Santa cause he's an older man who gives her presents.

I sang Carol of the Bells with two separate choirs this year, and I think Mykola Leontovych gave the altos some fun parts (I'm a tenor but I stood next to an alto and they had some really cool lines). That said, I believe all the parts sing 'ding dong' at some point, but altos the most I think.
