Worst Christmas song ever?

[tuvor]

Irrespective of the singer. (We KNOW the entire Hanson Christmas album was crap, okay?)

My suggestion:

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time.

I think the lack of covers maybe bears out just how awful it is. Mr. McCartney, this atrocity is yours and yours alone.

Your turn, gang!

[Ron Green]

1. "Holly Jolly Christmas" ... Burl Ives, I think.

[mark11727]

2. "Santa Baby"

[Left Is Write]

6. Slip a sable under the tree for me...

Yeah, that's on my list of disliked songs.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. Ding! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a WINNER

It doesn't get much worse than "Santa Baby"...

An intentionally bad song (which therefore doesn't count), from the good old days of vinyl, was "Santa Doesn't Cop Out On Dope" by Martin Mull:

"So little kiddies, here's my point
Just leave him cookies, save the joint
'Cause Santa Clause turns on in his own way
Watching you and me turn on, on Christmas day"

:toast:

[Seabiscuit]

28. Awwww... young Eartha Kitt's rendition of that song is my favorite!

[L84TEA]

3. I dont know the name...

But it goes... (excuse my singin voice)

CAN yOu HEAr whaT I HEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

Omg I hate that song. LMAo

[Left Is Write]

5. It's called Do You Hear What I Hear.

:)

[L84TEA]

7. lmao...ok whatever...I hate it. I call it crap ...

lmao.:eyes:

[Left Is Write]

4. Oh no.....

I *just* got that song out of my head after the LAST "worst Christmas song" thread....

[tuvor]

8. Then your palate is cleansed for the onslaught!

Don't you feel lucky!

[Left Is Write]

12. No, it means I have "Wonderful Christmas Time"

stuck in my head again.

What should Paul McCartney's penance for this be?

[bif]

9. "On the first day of Christmas..."

The next time I hear someone singing that, I'll rip their fucking head off, I swear to God!

[lolly]

38. I'll Second That Vote

I've hated that song since grade school. At least half of all grade school teachers in my day thought it was *incredibly* clever to perform this wretched, interminable anachronism with one child representing each of the weird presents, complete with a picture on a stick (a dancing lord, a milk maiden, something you wouldn't know was supposed to be a "golden ring" unless you were told it was) and then have that child pop up at the appropriate point in the song. How very clever!

Then there were the cutesy local tv news segments every year in which some intrepid (or bored?) reporter researched the cost of all those items in the current market and came up with a grand total--how very interesting!

Jeez--guess I haven't had enough eggnog. I'd better go mellow out.

[notadmblnd]

10. Here comes santa...

with a sack of shit..
here comes santa with a sack of shit..
here comes Santa with a sack of shit ...
and all his stinky reindeer.

I don't know who sings it, but it's a tradition at my house on thanksgiving Day.

[Liberty Belle]

11. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

[MnFats]

17. that one always leaves me speechless. 'what the hell?'

is about all i cana get out...

welcome to DU, by the way

[ozarklib]

25. I like that one.

At my house, it lends itself to all kinds of spontaneous new verses.

[Biased Liberal Media]

29. I HATE this song nt

[H3Dakota]

48. YES! I cringe every time I hear it...

Unfortunately, that is EVERY year somewhere.

[bif]

14. ALL CHRISTMAS SONGS SUCK!!!!!

Are you kidding me? They all make me want to puke!

[candy]

15. All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth and-----

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

[Mike Nelson]

16. SILVER BELLS

ting-a-ling... hear them ding?

[JVS]

34. it's "hear them ring"

[L84TEA]

18. I want a hippopotamus for christmas...

...only a hippopotamus will do...
I don't want a doll...no dinker dinker toy... I want a hippopotamus to PLAY WITH AN ENJOY......................

[gordianot]

30. I love that one.

One of my all time favorites.

When they used animals in the Roman Coliseum for killing spectacles it was not the big cats, or bears that slaughtered people. More dangerous than Bulls and Elephants was the Hippo which was a virtual killing machine of aggression.

I love the naivete of that song.

[gordianot]

19. John Denver, Please Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas.

Guess there is a message there. I play it to annoy my wife.

[barb162]

49. there was some album 20-30 yrs. ago and it was by "mice'

and one of them was named Alvin or something. It was electronic music or whatever and was a huge hit. It was terrible, just terrible. And everywhere.

[bettyellen]

53. Alvin is a Chipmunk! Not a mouse!

[barb162]

55. yeah (teehee) see post 31. yep, chipmunk. even as I write this

I can still hear that damned noise. It was bad, bad, bad.

[tridim]

20. Paul McCartney's

"Simply.. Ha-ving.. A wonderful Christmas time"

It makes me physically ill.

[Mike Nelson]

21. MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING, The Carpenters

...happy new year, too...

[Glenda]

22. Now you did it! How can I sleep...

with that song going through my head!?

[bbernardini]

23. Bryan Adams' "Christmas Time"

The scary thing is, I own this 45 on green vinyl.

Colossally stupid song.

33. Do They Know It's Christmastime?

Fucking do-gooder crap. :puke:

[terrya]

36. That's the British "Live Aid" for Christmas thing, isn't it?

Yes...the wonderful opportunity each Christmas to hear Boy George, Spandau Ballet, and other relics from the 80's get all warm and fuzzy about how darn special they are...that they actually got in a recording studio to come up with some very forgettable song.

Whatever.

[Coventina]

37. My pick: Santa Claus's Party

Come on everybody
To Santa Claus's party.....

[Crankie Avalon]

39. I don't much like any of them...

...except for that "He's Mr. Heat Miser" number from one of those animated Christmas shows that get shown year after year after year...

He's Mr. Heat Miser,
He's Mr. Sun.
He's Mr. Heat Miser...Heeeee's Mis-ter Hundred and One!
They call me Heeeeat Miser;
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch...Iiiiiii'm too much!
BABABABUM--TOO MUCH!!!

[AngryAmish]

[bettyellen]

54. LOVE that song..

[gollygee]

41. I don't like Feliz Navidad

That is such a repetitive song. It drives me CRAZY.

And I agree with Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time for the SAME REASON. ARGH!

[TeddyKGB]

42. Streisand's "Crazy Jingle Bells" will make your head explode

Seriously. Full-on Scanners.

44. Anything by Perry Como!!! n/t

[eyesroll]

45. "Santa Baby"

I've always found it creepy.

[CO Liberal]

46. "Pretty Paper" by Roy Orbison

Don't get me wrong - Roy Orbison is one of my favorite singers of all time. But the oldies station in Pueblo plays this turkey of a song all the time, and I hate it.
