Christmas has always been known for irritating carols and standards, and if you work in retail I can understand your pain. I on the hand have come to learn to enjoy a song or two and like it that these songs have an expiration date on them and often wish other holidays had soundtracks to them. Other than old lang syne and the Monster Mash holidays are pretty music free.

 

But in order to feel your pain in bad Christmas music from the bowels of the garage are these 3 gems, Christmas Hits For Dancing, Disco Noel and Merry Christmas from the Brady Bunch. The first 2 are interchangeable and I would wager that they are performed by the same studio band with one label being a subsidy of the other, all you need is 30 secs of the first song to know what the every other one sound like, generic disco beats with a woman singing Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. Only in the polyester 70’s could you imagine someone dancing like John Travolta under the tree to this on X-mas morning, I have a love hate relationship with that decade. The Brady Bunch is a TV family that sings like anyone’s family if they had a record deal. I only wish they got Alice to sing Jingle Bells with the Batman smells lyrics to make it interesting.
