This thread asked for our favorite christmas song. But what about the other side of the coin?? Which songs drive us batty?
Personally, it’s not Christmas until I’ve tortured Hubby with
Ay, ay, ay, It’s Christmas … by Ricky Martin
Bwa-ha-ha-ha 
I will personally shove a fully-decorated Christmas tree up the ass of anyone who has the temerity to play Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer in my presence.
“The Twelve Days of Christmas,” for being both inane and interminable.
Followed closely by “Grandma Got…”
No, no, it’s definitely Christmas Shoes.
…and I’ll pay for the tree.
I agree with both Dewey Cheatem Undhow and Redsland. I hate both of those songs.
I heard this goofball rewrite of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” on the radio in a Bed, Bath and Beyond the other day. It was painful to listen to, mostly because I kept wanting to clean my ears to see if I was hearing it right:
Bed, Bath, and Beyond?
Emphasis on “Beyond.”
All of them.
I don’t care for Mexican music at the best of times, and I’ve really gotten tired of “Feliz Navidad”.
Any version of Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride” that includes vocalists.
It’s a perfectly fine orchestral piece. Why muck it up with lyrics?
I thought this was a great song when I was 5, but by age 6 I was sick of it.
South Park’s “O Holy Night”. Just ugly (yes, I know that’s intentional).
Melandry’s right- its Christmas Shoes, hands down. I’m assuming the rest of you haven’t heard it or you’d make it unanimous. Its the glurgiest schlock to ever pollute my ears.
Jingle Bell Rock. I had to sing it in a play when I was fairly young. I sang it eight times a day for 4 weeks. Now whenever I hear it it gets stuck in my head for the whole month…Oh great now it’s started again…please…let…it…stop…
Everyone who’s heard this song will agree that my nominee is by FAR the worst Christmas song… indeed, the most staggeringly, astonishingly tasteless, wrong-headed SONG of all time. It’s so bad, that when you hear it, you’ll spend a minute thinking “This is a joke, right? It HAS to be a joke.”
But it isn’t!
It’s Tiny Tim’s “Santa Claus Has Got The AIDS This Year.”
The sick thing is, Tiny seems to have been completely sincere… but he had NO apparent grasp of what AIDS is. The lyrics seem to suggest AIDS is like a nasty cold- but don’t worry kiddies, old Santa will be good as new next year!
Santa Baby. Sexing up Santa doesn’t really get me in the holiday mood.
On a more surreal note, how about “Santa Claus for President”?
…and I’ll pay for the festive barbed-wire garland.
Oh, and let’s not forget The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot by Nat King Cole.
