Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight) Lyrics
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with...
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you
Where is Santa and his sleigh?
And tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph, where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas
All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fightin'
So excitin', baby
I love you and you love me
And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's heart
Where is Santa and his sleigh?
And tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph, where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas
All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fightin'
So excitin', baby
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you and you love me
And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's heart
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you
my parents fight alot... and then I really mean a lot, and on chrismas and new years eve they always fight, so this year ( or I mean last year, yeah yeah you know what i mean ) when they started fighting i put this song on, very high! first than they realised how much I got hurted when they fought all the time. tjey stopped fighting for gthe moment. that was nice.

my favorite christmas song. i love the ramones.
Kinda cool. A good song for Christmas, mostly because it's not cheesy or over-pious.
Best christmas song ever, but it must've been akward for Joey, who was jewish.
Joey actually loved Christmas. His mother viewed Hanukkah as a Jewish holliday, and Christmas as an "American" holiday, so they celebrated both. Joey actually held Christmas parties in NYC every year until he died. Like I said, he LOVED Christmas lol.

I am not sure, but I readed some book and there was the thing Dee Dee wrote this for his girlfriend Connie, am I right?
Joey wrote it.
Joey wrote it.
im not 100 percent positive, but i think that this has 2 do with a WW1 story one of the ramones were told by a family member or something...there are many rumors, unknown if they are true or not, that state that on Christmas day, all of the trench warfare stopped and the two sides just got along...2 of the biggest rumors were that they sang Christmas carols together and the other is that they had an organized game of football in No Man's Land...its pretty insane to think that this was even possible, but the soldiers didnt hate eachother, they were just defending their country and the opposing side respected that
pinkpunk1719, you're totally right, that's what it's about.
The two people above are idiots. This is not based on any war story.
It's clearly a domestic situation: "All the children are tucked in their beds" and the chorus suggests there is meant to be mutual love between the people arguing: "I love you and you love me And that's the way it's got to be I loved you from the start 'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's heart"
Looking at the broader context of things, the Ramones rarely wrote about broader world situations (exceptions would be Bonzo goes to Bitburg) but wrote about their own personal situations and environments.
@elwyn5150 The meaning of this song is whatever a person decides it means...do you know what I mean? Different interpretations based on our own life experiences.

@elwyn5150 No I don't agree. We have different views and different experiences and a song can mean whatever the person deems it to mean. How can you generalize this? Everyone is not stupid for their interpretations either.

@elrem48 It is true that everybody has unique experiences and can interpret things differently. It doesn't mean that everybody is correct.

Look. Let's say I chose to interpret this song as about some belief that extraterrestrials are impregnating the population of earth by poluting the oceans with pink coloured flowers. Am I right? Am I wrong? Someone with a brain would ask what supports that crazy theory. What would back up my opinion? Is there anything in the song that mentions flowers, aliens, impregnation? Is there something substantial that indicates that the song writer had any fascination with such topics?

There is nothing here to support the World War I or II theory except the vaguest of connections. Look at the context: nothing about war, bullets, trenches. etc
