Vanity - WORST Christmas Songs Ever
12/21/2010

Posted on 12/21/2010 6:50:05 AM PST by VRWCmember

Yesterday we had a thread about favorite Christmas albums, so today I thought I would post one to ask everybody: What are the WORST Christmas songs ever recorded?

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” — or as some call it, the Christmas Date-Rape Song.

“What’s in this drink?”

“It’s the Holiday Season” by Andy Williams.
Andy Williams gives me an enormous pain in the @ss to begin with, but this chirpy, obsessively non-sectarian “holiday” song sounds like something written in the elevator on the way up to the recording session.
Oh, and chipper, cute xmas songs like “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus” and “All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth”... bah, humbug.

I AM SO IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU!!!

However, every mall & storeowner in the land seems to think these horrid songs put us in a festive mood. They make me want to run out of the store screaming! Especially “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time...” That gets my vote for WORST EVER!

‘Santa Baby’ is way way worse than either the Lennon or McCartney songs. I would have to give ‘Last Christmas’ the edge over even that, my formerly-most-hated song.

That is one of my favorite winter songs (not really a Christmas song though it gets played a lot when Christmas music is played) but only as long as it is the Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting version or the James Taylor and Natalie Cole version. Any other duet that attempts this song falls miserably short.

Christmas Shoes...

Gosh, I'd repressed that memory entirely. I have to move BOTH Lennon and McCartney off the list to make room for it and Santa Baby.

I don't know about the worst, but I once gave my sister and brother-in-law

CHRISTMAS With The CHIPMUNKS

and my nieces insisted on playing it every day for 2 months.

Needless to say, my sister wanted to kill me for years!

LOL

Whereas, that is one of my favorite novelty songs. Right up there with the Porky Pig version of “Blue Christmas”.

Good calls on these three. In general, any “rocker” cover of a Christmas (or Chanukah) song will drive me to the “whoopie bag”, as we use to call the air-sick bags on airplanes when I was a kid.

Gayest Christmas song ever, George might as well have come out of the closet right there.

I think George Michael was out of the closet way before that! Anyway, speaking of "Last Christmas", there is a much cooler version of that song out there by the alt-rock band "Jimmy Eat World."

Here are some truly awful Christmas music that I didn't see already mentioned here:

Mannheim Steamroller - Christmasville (entire album). By and large, the Christmas music of Mannheim Steamroller is great but their last album was incredibly awful with no redeeming qualities. As such, you can find it in the bargain bins at Wal-Mart and give it as a cheap Christmas gift to an obscure relative you'll hardly ever run into again.

Trans-Siberian Orchesta - A lot of people love this band and pay big money to see their Christmas concerts but I just don't understand the appeal of this music. The lead vocalist sounds like Meatloaf crossed with Michael Bolton, backed with members of Spinal Tap.

Michael Buble. The Barry Manilow of the 21st Century. Need I say more.

Mr Roboto by Styx was voted “Worst Over All Christmas Song”.

That's not fair.

Mr. Roboto by Styx is the "Worst Overall Song Ever. Period. End of Story."

Speaking of "winter" songs that get misconstrued as Christmas song -- like Walking in a Winter Wonderland for example -- how about this little parody hit:

Walking 'Round in Women's Underwear

Ditto.

Love Michael Buble though. Very hip swing band singer. Pop stuff not so much.

Hey, someone else considers “Baby It’s Cold Outside” a date-rape song too!
Here’s a wierd story... a few weeks ago, when I was already sick of hearing xmas songs, I told the missus that somebody’s sure to record a gay version of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” with two guys on vocals. So what did they do on “Glee” the very next week?

“Merry Christmas, Darling.”

A voice of hot buttered rum. She starved herself to death. Karen, Karen. (Shakes head)
