It's that time of year again!! Your absolute worst Christmas Song

[eliza61nyc]

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.

The Christmas Song and that freakin first line of "Chestnuts Roasting on an open fire"...

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Santa Baby is the worst classic/original. But have you ever heard Taylor Swift's cover of "Last Christmas"? Trash rendition of a trash song. Uniquely grating.

Best: Josh Groban's cover of O Holy Night.

 

[Back!Elbow!Shoulders!]

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.

That one is cultural. Italian-Americans, at least the ones near me, love it.

That’s the one! I’d rather listen to Baby Shark than that. But to each their own.

The best(worst?) of both worlds.

"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!"

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Speaking of Christmas Shoes, I can never listen to that song again. It is very traumatizing (the whole cancer thing...yeah.)

 

[daronlif]

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.

I dislike most normal Christmas song I prefer the novelty ones like the chimney song or I farted on Santa lap

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.

Well, to each his own. I found it funny. Perhaps the world was less complex back then.

Do I have to hear about ALL 12 days of Christmas??? Just summarize it for me.
