“I don’t want a lot for Christmas” but for some, the one thing they do want is to hear the song again!

A poll across the UK has found that the most annoying Christmas song out there isn’t “Jingle Bells” or “Dominick the Donkey” or even “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” but rather Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You," Variety reported.

Huawei, a mobile phone company, conducted the survey.

The Carey Christmas Classic may be the number one most annoying, but some other songs you hear on constant rotation on the radio also made the list, Variety reported.

1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey

2. “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band-Aid

3. “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday,” by Wizzard

4. “Merry Xmas Everybody” by Slade

5. “Last Christmas” by Wham!

I would also add McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" to the list.

Oops! Forgot to check “Excerpt” when posting.

I actually liked that one. It's lively, while a lot of Christmas songs aren't.

Not so crazy about the "two front teeth" version, though.

I’ve never heard any of those tunes. Sounds like I haven’t missed anything.

[capydick]

I can’t stand and, never understood, the relationship of Dominic the Donkey and Christmas.

“Last Christmas” was robbed I tell ya! It had to be a rigged poll for that one not to be at least 2nd!

I remember on a similar thread here a while back, someone mentioned “Feliz Navidad” and someone else said that they first thought that the song went “Police Nabbed Me Dad”, lol.

I would also add McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" to the list.

Pretty much anything by McCartney post-Beatles is annoying as hell. The same could be said for most of the Beatles songs with Paul singing lead after 1966.

It’s not Christmas until grandma gets run over hourly.

To me, the most annoying Christmas carol is Stevie Wonder's fatuous 1968 opus "Someday at Christmas" which begins with the following line:

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys,
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys.

Best Xmas song ever.

I can’t stand and, never understood, the relationship of Dominic the Donkey and Christmas.

Near as I can tell, it's an enhanced interrogation technique that got out into the wild and has eluded retrieval.

[OttawaFreeper]

“Walking in A Winter Wonderland” is especially stupid, particularly with the “Parson Brown” part that is really retarded.

[mmichaels1970]

I find they’re just about all pretty annoying. Every November we basically lose a radio station because they switch over to Christmas songs 24x7.

Feliz Navidad...ugh.
Trans Siberian Orchestra...ugh.

Any song that is a collaboration of multiple artists (that is, it’s not a solo or duet), makes me want to puke.

e.g. Do They Know it’s Christmas

[cuban leaf]

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer will always be a classic.

[Spruce]

All of them. They all suck. But that GD hippopotamus song is especially evil

[LottieDah]

Annoying Christmas songs are: Blue Christmas (Elvis). Never cared for him and that song sucks. Mariah Carey’s song made the depression I was going through at the time better. It lifted my spirits. I basically listen to Christmas hymns. They are always on my play list.

It's certainly the gayest.

Feliz Navidad.
Something about a hippopotamus.
