Top 7 Worst Christmas Songs
PA Times | 11/29/05 | Santa Pissant

Posted on 11/29/2005 11:30:51 AM PST by pissant

Last year, we ran through the list of best Christmas songs and carols. Lotsa of great memories. This year, it's time to list the WORST Christmas songs ever recorded. Some are because the version performed by the "artist" is horrid. Others because the song itself is weak and irritating. You be the judge.

Either way, I had a difficult time paring down the list. I left off "novelty" songs by the Chipmunks and Donald Duck, etc. They were intended to annoy, and thus were successful in their own right!

Top 7 Worst Christmas Songs Ever Recorded

7. Blue Christmas - by ANYONE OTHER THAN ELVIS PRESLEY -- Great song when sung by the King. Otherwise it is grating beyond belief.

6. 12 days of Christmas - various artists -- Why anyone listens to this silly thing is beyond me

5. Frosty the Snowman - various artists -- As annoying to me as the TV cartoon trotted out each year

4. Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid -- Another Bob Geldof save the starving biafrins effort. Truly unlistenable. With singing contributions from Boy George, Stink (Sting to some), and Wham, it is doomed to make many "worst" lists until it is completely forgotten about.

3. So This is Christmas - John Lennon -- As bad, if not worse, than his retarded Give Peace A Chance. A dirge for the ages.

2. Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen -- Truly pathetic, like 98% of his constipated sounding songs.

1. Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Jackson Five -- Truly the most irritating vocals I've ever heard, by a screeching young Michael Jackson. Nails on Chalkboards sound like Pavoratti by comparison

Actually, all of them. The only Christmas music I like much these days (except for Frank Sinatra versions of the classics) is made by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. ;)

Uhhh, Blue Christmas by Elvis is dreadful, especially with the back-up "woo-woo" singers. ECH! Now, Wynona Judd - SHE can sing it.

"Please Daddy ,Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas" by John Denver. May there be a special place in Purgatory for him for his engineering particular POS.

Did William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy record any Christmas songs?

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER is not only the WORST CHRISTMAS SONG, but is tied with Don't Worry be Happy as the SONG MOST LIKELY TO MAKE CLEMENZA GO POSTAL!

It's not the worst, but "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" starts bugging me after hearing it over and over and over!

Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" (I think that's the title anyway)

I hate it.

How could you forget 'Jinglebell Rock'? I used to define 'a good year' as one where I got through the Christmas season without hearing Jinglebell Rock, until it became inescapable. Now I call it a good year if I get through October 'JR-free'.

#3 Is the absolute worst; thoughtless, maudlin, and totally uncreative; having nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas. Only way it could be worse is if Cindy Sheehan recorded a version. It's even called "Happy Xmas (War is over)"

And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another year over
And you've just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
Your near and your dear ones
Your old and your young
And so Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear
And so this is Christmas
The weak and the strong
The rich and the poor ones
Have waited so long
And so Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So Merry Christmas
And Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

War is over if you want it
War is over if you want it
War is over if you want it
War is over if you want it
