  • Maddox was right, this song is absolute shit

  • Barbra Streisand is so funny and has a wonderful voice

  • Most horrible songs are at least redeemed by some comedic value. This one on the other hand...

  • This is the most obnoxious version of "Jingle Bells" that I've ever heard. Merciful Sweet Jesus.

  • This is why people go on shooting sprees.

  • "Mom I learned my lesson, no more PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET ME OUT OF HERE"

    

  • brilliant. she is genius. amazing how many lame, stupid, humorless people are out there.

  • It's interesting to me how few can see the humor in this. Do you think its meant to be serious? That she thought this would be the quintessential version? Its meant to be funny people!

  • This is horrible Barbara say the hell away from Christmas songs

  • she is only singing it so fast becuase she is jewish and she wants to get it over!

  • Excuse me, I sing alot. I do not think I can sing as good as her, or not even close, but what the hell is wrong with everyone????? This is not even close to being music. It sounds like she got so bored, just started screwing around with the song, and ended up with this. And she made millions. But someone like me has to work their ass off for years to get by. Struggling for a freakin job. Hell. I could sing that song two times better than she did. It is just not right.

  • You jealous shit :D I I adore your stupidness

  • @tmac2010grad91 This is Barbra Streisand, a Legend. Please respect that.

  • @tmac2010grad91 who gives a shit. it's not about you.

  • Fantastic. I just heard it on the radio the other day for the first time. I hate chrismas songs, but this is brilliant!!

  • a little strange...

  • streisand on crack ~-~

  • How disgusting how many teabagger pieces of shit came on here just to rag on Babs...she's laughing all the way to bank so go fuck yourselves teapoopers!

  • yup, they play this at my job too. i wonder why i even looked this up

  • If lady gaga did a christmas album, she would cover Barbara's version of jingle bells - "Ji ji ji jingle bells, ja ja ja jangle bells."

  • I wonder if Barbara drank a pot of coffee before singing this song.

  • FACT: Barbra recorded this after consuming a Scarface-sized mountain of cocaine. She wouldn't snort again until she filmed "Little Fockers".

  • Barbara Streisand should be shot and pissed on just for making this song.

  • This makes me want to go in the bathroom and rip my face off like the guy in Poltergeist.

  • I hadn't heard it til this year. I weirdly sort of like it. It's like someone did a bunch of coke and recorded Christmas songs. It's so energetic.

  • they play this at my CVS and it makes me want to tear hair out every. fucking. time.

  • I don't want to start a fight, but this is the worst possible introduction to Babs that you can get. Incredible entertainer in person, great spirit, good voice when she relates to the material, but a victim to some awful producers/A&R people's choices when she was young and naîve, still trying to figure out how to make records work after being accustomed to singing whatever was put in front of her Broadway-style.

  • If there was ever a of why Jews don't sing Christmas songs, this is it.

  • I work at Staples and this gets played literally 3 times an hour. I want to kill myself.

  • Reason 83925 why I can't stand barbara, (but the most important)...SHE FOUND A WAY TO FUCK UP JINGLE BELLS!!!!! Easiest song in the flippin world, so simple and she does it at warp speed with a drawn out ending.

  • I work at a bank and this plays at least once every day from the day after thanksgiving til the end of the year... id rather slam my head into a brick wall until I collapse than hear this song again..

  • You can't listen to this and not think she was manic when she recorded it. It's like she can't get the words out fast enough.

  • I will take a 1984 style totalitarian dictatorship if it means that this song will be removed from history

  • my math teacher played this for us and we couldn't stop laughing. barbra you're a genius

  • best version ever

  • She clearly smokes crack and begins singing jingle bells, with periods of withdraw in between bumping again.

  • When I grew up (somewhat), I bought this album. I lover the album so much and her voice is amazing.

  • Is it me or does it sound like she's doing a line of blow in between each verse?

  • I love her version of this song but it was always funny to me that Barbara a Jew would be singing a Christmas song.

  • @hmontes89 Actually Jingle Bells is NOT a Christmas song, it started out as a Thanksgiving song and somewhere along the years people started using it for Christmas.

  • back in the day my family used to play this and the cd would skip. jinga bel jinga bel jinga bell.... for ever. it was awesome.

    

  • They could torture terrorists with this.

  • Comment removed

  • Barbra's version of "Jingle Bells" is my favorite! I wish they'd play it on the radio more often during Christmastime. It would be nice. :D

  • If I hear this at work. One. More. God. Damn. Time.

  • VILE CUNT

  • @FleebagSlayer oh you mean Sarah Palin?

  • Fail.

  • now that its the christmas season, my workplace plays this over the loudspeaker constantly....listening to this song is like jamming a nail into your ear over and over.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is $h!t.

  • Amy Grant's version of this version is WAY better! but, nothing against Barbra.

  • 0:19 hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey!!! LMFAO!

  • It's so hilarious when they prank people on Z104 with this song.

  • @KimbasROW We do it at work all the time.. Desk phones ringing all over my office!!!

  • jingle bells on crack!!!!

  • only october and christmas music 24/7 until christmas! <3

  • this version is hilarious. every single time my family decorates our xmas tree, the first song we play during the night is this one. my mom likes to sing it lol oh good times

  • I listened to this as a kid - but I somehow remember this being..... better. The way she sings it is so boring.

  • dear lord!!! i don't really like this version, but the way she sings, she interprets, and her timing ...lord untouchable

  • My college roommate threatened to break this record whenever we would put it on the turntable! He had a really hard time with "Juh-juh-juh-juh-jingle bells... juh-juh-juh-juh jangle bells."

    Overall, it's a matter of getting used to it: the last 12 seconds of the song have a real Leonard Bernstein twist to it (as in "Overture to Candide").

  • I could only stomach 1:18 of this ear-biting version before I just had to hit the Pause button so I could read the Comments in peace.

    Yes, I have a high pain threshold. I know. :-p

    Babs needs to A) get the hell out of politics, and B) stay the hell away from fast tempos. She's wretched at both.

  • I just want to kill myself every time this comes on the radio.

    This is without a doubt not only the worst version of the song, but the most butchered...

    I hate to be a 'Cartman', but seriously, what does a JEW know about Christmas music?

    This song says it loud and clear...

    NOTHING.

  • @BrutoDaBurlyGoon Lol A LOT of Christmas music is written by Jews!

  • My cousin and I heard this in Walgreens and we fucking died laughing. This is horrible but HILARIOUS.

  • terrible.

  • It's good that someone recorded a version of Jingle Bells "by and for" the criminally insane. Actually it's nice - so long as you don't have to hear it.

  • Merry Christmas!

    Yuletide Praise

  • This song reminds me on my youth and the fun I had about the speedness of the song. My sis and I were always trying to sing the song (and the words) simultaneously... and that memory is precious.

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • horrible:)

  • With Kay Thompson's Jingle Bells, this is the hands down best Jingle Bells ever.

  • We...laughed so hard to this song in the car ride home from work. 0:18 sounds like Peter Griffin's laugh.

  • At my work, this has been playing every hour, and I have an 8 hour shift...

  • @Karrus01 same here man, grocery store. fuck.

  • no we need to tie you to a chair & play the christmas shoe song over & over .

  • My favorite version of Jingle Bells, hands down!

  • J-J-J-J-Jingle bells J-J-J-J-Jangle bells

    Irritating on so many levels, especially when I have to hear this at work twice a day, 5 days a week for a month. I just want to K-K-K-K-Kill myself, K-K-K-K-Kall myself.

  • When I went caroling with a bunch of kids from my church, we were in the car traveling to our next area, and this song came on, and my sister and I sang along to the radio and everyone else in the car was like: "Wow!" And then we got out, and the first thing the kids in the car behind us said:

    "We just heard the crappiest version of Jingle Bells ever!"

    Ooops. Hey, I liked it!

  • Love the speed of it. I liked it when I was a kid and at 53 I like it now!

  • WHAT A COMPLETE LOAD OF C++P.I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH TRIPE,RUBBISH !!!!!

  • what fucking moron thought this would be a good idea to record this ADHD, Jolt-drinking version with Streisand?!! It makes me want to remove her vocal cords with a shovel.

  • There's something very disingenuous about a Jewish lady releasing a Christmas album.

  • @kkoolcat Except that she is a SINGER. You don't suppose that every song sung by every singer resonates with their personal life...?

  • @kkoolcat Barbra has released 2 count'em 2 Christmas cds.Also most of Barbra's fans are not Jewish.Plus a few exra million bucks come in handy now and then. Merry Christmas,

  • super vet nummer

    asome song

  • Comment removed

  • Man, this gave me a huge headache! Stop the coke Barbara!

  • Best version of Jingle Bells EVER.

  • Heard this at work and I started busting out laughing. This is ridiculously fast.

  • I lOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!!!!

  • This song should be made into a drinking game. Get 4 people and 6 shots of liquor. Play the song. First person who has to leave the room to avoid the agony does 3 shots. Second person who has to leave the room does 2 shots. 3rd person does one shot and the last remaining is the winner with no shots. Repeat the process until everyone is dead from alcohol poisoning, which is a more desirable condition than being subjected to this awfulness. And everyone wins! Merry Christmas!

  • @bcc1976 i can't believe you! this is a great song, and you'd HAVE to be drinking, since no one sober would believe it's not great!

  • @bcc1976 I'd be the first one to run (screaming) out of the room! Hilarious post!

  • Worst song ever?

  • I gotta give Barbara credit on this version. The original is too slowly paced. It needed a serious makeover.

  • LOL, she was definitely on something when recording this version of Jingle Bells. But I still like it.

  • So many meter changes...

  • you know why this is so bad? It's called Jingle Bells, not Seisure Inducing BElls

  • @gemome02, brilliant comment. Don't worry about what I do, go back to listenting to this crapfest and smiling.

  • I love this version so much always puts a smile on my face!

  • how the hell can people LIKE this? It makes me want to shoot myself in the ear so I can NEVER hear this song again

  • @duckzoom So Don't listen to it.

  • hey! SNIFF! crack!!!!!! JJJJJJJINGLE BELLS JJJJJJJANGLE BELLS!!!! best song EEVVVVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  sleeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiigh....­jej v fjrnmfvj8-45y cfgjcvglifkmnfgc

  • Cool version I love it and I love her so much!

    There's also something that reminds us to the musical "America",isn'it true??!

    :))

  • barbara was hitting the "snow" pretty hard when she decided to record this version... if you know what I mean.

  • @TheChelcAnne HAHA, no

  • Worst version of Jingle Bells ever. It sounds like she's convulsing.

  • Love this! ONe of the biggest selling Christmas albums of all time.....

  • haaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa, she does sound like she is bumping down the stairs during a bad fall!!!

  • @MrBabysHomeSchool Exactly! This version was so "Tongue in cheek" it is brilliant!

  • This is just so bizzarly dreadful, it made me laugh so hard. lol

  • @LittleVMKGirl2 Imagine working at Safeway at least 3 days a week for 9 years and hearing this version every day. I don't miss it.

  • Why barbara streisand sux: SHE CAN'T EVEN DO JINGLE BELLS RIGHT!!!!!!!

  • This is so bad i'd almost rather listen to rap.....almost.Why didn't someone tell her , hey stop , put that drink down and go to sleep.This is one of the worst "songs" of all time.

  • The worst rendition of Jingle Bells ever. The holidays are stressful enough without anxiety-inducing music like this.

  • it sounds like she is falling down stairs

  • I LOVE 7/8!!!!!!!!!

  • @xobreluvsmusic96 7/8 time is fine but not when it sounds like this!

  • this is just awful

  • We have to sing a Christmas song for theater class, and I swear, this would be the best one ever! :DD

  • this makes my christmas so much better! ;)

  • ... my pre-calc teacher did a rendition of this, and it sounded like it was to the tune of the Exorcist theme at the beginning. And I must say, this song disturbs me.... o_<

  • @jackie0deming Yeah, when I first heard this on the radio near Christmas vacation when I was in school, I totally raised an eyebrow because of how weird that song was performed.

  • its a good idea to lisin to the song that your hired to sing, you kno, so when you sing it you dont sound like a crak head! lmafo

  • I always liked the way this song ends with a Latin dash, much like Leonard Bernstein's "I Want to Live in America" from West Side Story.

  • wow...in this photo Barbra resembles so much my mother when she was 20 or something...really. Love this song....

  • i love her version lol mkes me smile

  • bRILLIANT VERSION!!!!!!!

  • i love it how she it so fast and she still innunciates EVERY WORD!

  • @xelatan19 YEP, it is incredible! Wonderful!

  • @xelatan19 Still - to me - the worst Christmas song ever made. It will never bring teary or happy memories of any kind. Shut it off.

  • @leeleebaby2100  agree...

  • @xelatan19 hahaha i think that was what she was aiming for.. thats skill

  • @xelatan19

    It's enunciates. Why do comments with egregious spelling errors still get voted up? Use Firefox...

  • @CTRTree3

    stupid people vote for stupid comments...case in point.

  • Fantastic.

    For you dimwits who don't appreciate this version of Jingle Bells; this is a humorous interpretation of a very dumb Christmas song. It's entertaining and extremely well sung. Suck off if you don't get it.

  • A very unique rendition! Barbra, I can listen to your voice all day, such beauty!

  • this is so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg i know my mom told me about this she said it sounds she on crack she murding someone shes right

  • O M G

  • I love this version. I miss it every year when they play in on the radio, so now I can hear it any time I want to thanks to YouTube. :D

  • Is she on crack?

  • It's confirmed... you can ruin a classic Christmas carol!!!

  • Worst song I have ever heard in my life. Rapeage of the original.

  • @BlockisticStudios Shut up Iban

  • lolwut?

    XD This is great. Not exactly the classic, but that's what's good about it. XD Especially when you envision her having to do that 20-30 times to get it right. XD

  • still SO funny ;-)

  • X.X

  • worst christmas song ever

  • WHY????

  • Is this the tourette's version?

  • A fantastic, fun, hilarious version! LOVE IT!!!!

  • My class had to sing this today,omg ppl were messing up and gasping for air hi-larious

  • Upsot? :)

  • My mom has this CD, I listened to it in my car, this is my favorite song. Barbra Streisand rules! :)

  • I don't agree with all of Barbra's political views, but I have this CD and she does a fabulous job on all the songs......this one included.

  • This is a fantastic arrangement of Jingle Bells and really shows off Barbra Streisand's Broadway ability. The other naysayers can stick it.

  • One of my FAVE Christmas songs, ever! This song really gets me in a happy mood...lol....Barbra is the greatest!!

  • she actually has a sensational voice. this particular song is just unfortunate.

  • I love it!! HA HA HA!! J J J JJJJJ ingle Bells!!!

  • My dad has always thought this was the worst christmas song ever! It became a joke every time my mom would play it during christmas...

  • she was doing speed back in the 60s.lol

  • This is probably the most annoying Christmas song out there besides Santa Baby being sung by a guy. How can I like a song that is going 100 mph? If this is your favorite Chistmas song you need help or just kill yourself.

  • @ajraven52

    This is a terrible, annoying, unnecessary version of an already played out Christmas song. What's with all the FUCKING UNNECESSARY TEMPO CHANGES? I agree wholeheartedly with your post

  • such horribleness. such massive horribleness.

  • This is my fav version of this song.

    Also be sure to check out Varla Jean's version of this arrangement.

  • O M G ! My arm feel off listening to this. Don't even ask me how. Felt myself starting to convulse.
