for me these are the top two.

#1. Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas. John Denver. Seriously John? you're usually so upbeat but a christmas song about an alcoholic abusive father says "Goodwill to men"?

#2 The christmas shoes. pretty much along the same lines.. why? Nothing says let's celebrate Christ birth like a depressing song about a mom dying of cancer.

Honorable mention: Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt

this is for fun and not all encompassing. As the saying goes, one man's treasure is another's garbage.

What song has you running to rip your ears off every time you hear it.

Christmas Shoes is the worst for sure.

Sometimes the station near me plays a song about a Christmas donkey that’s super annoying. If you’re not already familiar with it do not youtube it. It’s terrible. That’s a close #2.

It doesn't play often, but the christmas shoes has to be one of the worst out there.
Also any christmas song where a little kid sings except for santa is coming to town.

"Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas" by a mile! Love Macca. He's a demigod of music, but this is just horrific. Melodically it's a mess, all over the place. It has cheesy 80s synth sounds in it. It's about as organic as cheese out of a can on a ritz cracker with a side of mayo. When I hear this song I say, "Someone shoot it please!"

The original version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". The weird "adult singing like a child with missing teeth" thing grates on my nerves EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Ya gotta remember that songs like 'I saw Mommy' and 'all I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus', were songs I listened to on the radio when I was a kid close to 70 freaking years ago. Novelty songs were a big then back then before people started twerking or suggesting that Santa join them in a little Christmas eve delight. Rudolph and Frosty, go back that far as well. If you listen to anything written that long ago it will grate on anyone's nerves. Music has become much more sophisticated now, but, not necessarily better.

I don’t mind the novelty, or the era, it’s just that song in particular. Hippopotamuses and missing front teeth don’t bother me, but the weird grown adult attempting to giggle like a child is downright disconcerting.
