1. I regret that I have but one vote for Sir Paul.

[LostInAnomie]

2. That was my vote too.

"Wonderful Christmas Time" is a mind raping ear worm of the worst order.

[tigereye]

3. voted for Grandma, but actually the video is pretty good- never saw it before

[ThomThom]

4. all christmas songs

other

[Sebastian Doyle]

[Danger Mouse]

5. Paul wins. I'd rather loop the Barking Dogs 20 times than listen to Paul even once.

6. Little Drummer Boy it the worse Christmas song

ever.

[justabob]

8. any version of it.... like fingernails on a chalkboard

And we have to listen to xmas music everyday, all day, at work.... since Thanksgiving. The Little effing Drummer Boy comes up multiple times per shift. I don't know if I am going to make it all the way to xmas eve without driving ice picks into my ears to avoid hearing.... ba-rump-up-up-bum

[Capn Sunshine]

9. Pa Rum pa pum pum?

so I played for him pa rum pa pum pum
me and my drum
and they should have put "Wipeout" right here

[Bucky]

14. And the Bing Crosby version is the worst possible rendition of it

It looks like he's suppressing a belch through the whole pa rum pa pum pum parts

[Quantess]

15. Yes, it sure is.

I had hoped it would be among the poll choices. :thumbsdown:

[GoCubsGo]

17. It's puke-a-licious.

Just thinking about it makes me want to hurl.

[bluesbassman]

10. Hands down, the Boss singing Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Even The Big Man's sax can't salvage this tune.

11. Love them all.

Life's too fun to get annoyed by anything other than Geddy Lee's screeching.

[stewartcolbert08]

12. Any version of Jingle Bells is the worst!

:puke:

[Bucky]

13. By sheer volume of annoyingness, nothing is more obnoxious than "The 12 Days of Christmas"

That song just goes on and on and on for goddamn ever, usually sung by saccharin little brats possessed of the temerity to actually stretch out the "five golden rings" line, as if the song isn't long enough already.

[chemenger]

16. Christmas Shoes

and

Little Drummer Boy

Both annoy me.

Merry Christmas :hi: , Happy Holidays :party: , Happy Hannukah :bounce: , Merry Kwanzaa :toast:

(take yer pick) to all you fellow DU'ers out there!

Live long and prosper :beer:

[jmowreader]

18. Of the ones you listed, Christmas Shoes is the worst

But "Billy's Christmas Wish" is THE worst Christmas song of all time. "My Christmas wish is to get whacked."

[LeftishBrit]

19. Other...

Against lots of competition, it has GOT to be:

Santa Claus and Popcorn, by Merle Haggard

Santa Claus and popcorn,
Jingle bells and reindeer horns,
Christmas trees and mistletoe,
Jesus loves me this I know.

Carols singing Silent Night.
Crosby dreams of Christmas white.
We celebrate cause the King was born
With Santa Claus and popcorn.

Children dancing round the tree,
Sleighbells ringing merrily,
Snowballs flying through the air.
Happiness is everywhere

Carols singing Silent Night...
Santa Claus and popcorn...
Santa Claus and popcorn...
Carols singing Silent Night


There is also a dreadful song that we used to sing at school when I was small, but I've never (fortunately!) come across it since, and don't know its origins. It included the lines:

I'm a fairy doll
Hanging on a tree.
All the little children
Dancing round me.
Tra la la! Tra la la! Tra la la!
