Worst Christmas Songs... Name Yer Poison.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

For me? Oh the list is soooo long but I'll start with "My name is Christmas Carol" sung by Skip Ewing... It is country and it sucks.. Here are da lyrics:

I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four climbed up on to my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what's your name and what can Santa give to you

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Well all that I could say was Santa would do the best he could
Then I sat her down and told her, now remember to be good
She said I will, then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see old Santa cry

She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own

Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
And made a few arrangements with the County Children's Home
And they told me it would be all right to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say

My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day
I don't know who my Daddy is and Mommy's gone away
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own
Well Merry Christmas Carol
I love you, welcome home

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. What is "Any Christmas song by the second week of December?", Alex n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

2. PeterU

This is not Jeopardy... But it could be. If you want it to be.

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

:puke: And any other "new country" bullshit Christmas songs.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

5. I almost picked that one

for my favorite one to hate... But the one I posted is so sickening... so over the top ---- so horrible.

[NewWaveChick1981]

7. I've only heard "Christmas Carol" once, but it sure as hell sucks.

:puke: It most definitely qualifies as a "new country" bullshit Christmas song.

[TommyO]

15. That's my pick as well

I'll try my hardest *NOT* to hear it at any point during the lead-up to consumer orgy 2007, there was one year that I was so close, but managed to hear it on Christmas day driving to my brother's house.

[Faygo Kid]

27. Yup,

Lousy novelty "song."

[jakefrep]

35. Ding!Ding!Ding! We have a winner!

I think "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is the grand prize loser, as it were.

[Parche]

4. Feliz Navidad

So annoying.........:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :hi:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

6. I want to wish you

a merry christmas


from the bottom of


my


heart....

over and over.

What's annoying about that?

[LeftyMom]

8. Jingle Bell Rock

[QueenOfCalifornia]

9. We have a singin' Santa

that sings the first part of that fucking song over and over... My kids love him. My husband breaks it out on Thanksgiving and he stays up till after New years.

Ahhhhhhhhh!

[Maccagirl]

10. I Want A Hippopottamus For Christmas

Gawd I hate that stupid song!

I'm couting the seconds before someone posts "Wonderful Christmastime."
1.2.3.4.

[last_texas_dem]

11. Before anyone bashes it

I am going to pre-emptively enter my defense of "Wonderful Christmastime." It's very catchy and always puts me in a good Holiday mood. :-)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

12. You are Satan

and you know it.

[last_texas_dem]

13. Muahahahaha!

"Wonderful Christmastime"
Paul McCartney

The mood is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The party's on
The feelin's here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding Ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Ahhh don't look down

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

The party's on
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The mood is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Dr. Strange]

16. Ahhhh, earworm!

Out, Sir Paul!

[Burma Jones]

32. You Rotten Earworming Bastard

[WritingIsMyReligion]

40. Now I have that as an earworm.

:D

[quip]

14. Nice post, Scroogler

I've never heard the song before, but judging from the lyrics, it is a touching story, you hard-hearted bastard. You've got to be pretty cynical to scoff at a happy-ending adoption story.

[Mad_Dem_X]

17. Three words:

THE CHRISTMAS SHOES.

Biggest piece of horseshit ever created, for any holiday. I :puke: just thinking about it.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

19. You mean I missed one?

Please sing it to me.

[SacredCow]

22. I posted the same thing before I read yours....

The Christmas Shoes is just awful beyond comprehension....

[Ptah]

18. Holiday from Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V0q1NaGEFU

[Redstone]

20. "The Little Drummer Boy." I'm amazed that the Fundies haven't jumped all over that one,

given all the "rump-pumping" in the lyrics.

Redstone

[FloridaJudy]

50. Ohhh! That's the one I hate most

By the middle of November I'm ready to scream "Rum-pa-tum-tum, my fanny!", and lob a jar of preserved peaches through the closest audio speaker in whichever grocery store I'm unfortunate enough to find myself. I have enough sense to avoid all other kinds of stores like a case of anthrax at this time of year (thank goodness for eBay). "Little Drummer Boy" is not only unspeakably inane, but a serious earworm.

"White Christmas" is the other song I can't stand: it's the Thomas Kincade of carols. It should come with a syringe of insulin.

[SacredCow]

21. the one about the shoes.....

Sanctimonious crap, that is....

[Va Lefty]

23. "Please, Daddy don't get drunk this Christmas"

[QueenOfCalifornia]

25. Ohhh...

a family classic.

[mvd]

24. I love most all of the standard ones

The one you mentioned sounds like a clunker. Never cared for "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer." "I'm Getting Nuttin' For Christmas" is better humor.

[mcscajun]

26. It's a tie: One has words, the other doesn't...

I'm a Christmas Tree by Wild Man Fischer (Duet with Dr. Demento himself)
Lyric:
"I'm a Christmas tree, I'm a Christmas tree,
People hang their ornaments on me.
I'm a Christmas tree, I'm a Christmas tree...
people throw me out on New Year's Eve..."
http://www.rhinohandmade.com/QTplayer.lasso?length=clip&sel=7701&track=049

Jingle Bells by the Singing Dogs (no words -- imagine the horror)
http://www.dierenpensions.nl/images/sound/jinglebellsdogs.wav
http://www.bobshannon.com/specials/dogs.html

Both "tunes" are from Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Xmas Novelty CD

[Lydia Leftcoast]

28. I hate Away in a Manger and Silent Night

I didn't even like Away in a Manger when I was a kid, and it hasn't grown on me.

Silent Night just gets old after a while.

This is coming from someone who sings in a cathedral choir and finds the spiritual aspects of Christmas more important than the gift giving aspects as the years go by.

[supernova]

31. Away in a Manger is definitely overdone

I still enjoy silent night, though.

O Little Town of Bethlehem sometimes annoys me. It waxes nostalgic for a place and time none of us will ever visit.

[bigwillq]

29. Little Drummer Boy

that one drives me nuts. :banghead:

[supernova]

30. Santa Baby

It's way too Gun Moll/Fun Girls from Mt Pilot for me.

Not one of Ertha Kitt's finest moments.

[Colorado Progressive]

34. Is that the hellish song that Madonna redid? (as if it wasnt bad enough)

Cause if so its the worse song ever, not just including Xmas songs.

[last_texas_dem]

36. Good pick

I think that one may be my least favorite as well. Luckily, it's one you can generally escape from hearing too much during the Xmas season. It's definitely an annoying one.

[Release The Hounds]

39. It's a tie between this one and that crappy Christmas shoes one.

[TK421]

33. Little Drummer Boy...particularly by Percy Faith and His Orchestra

my Mom used to play the album CONTINUOUSLY during the Christmas season..and my brothers and sisters got sick of it.

Yeah, the Percy Faith album is real big in my family

[CatholicEdHead]

37. John Denver: "Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

http://musicalfruitcake.com/2007/02/24/john_denver_-_please_daddy_dont_get_drunk_this_christmas/

There is an embedded version of the song on the link.

[Metta]

38. Anything by the barking dogs although Little Drummer Boy is right up there.

They make me itch and sorely test my patience.

[hisownpetard]

46. No, no, no! Bruce Springsteen's version of SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

makes me jump up and fly across the room at the speed of light to hit the "off" button...
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
SAN-ta claus is comin' to town,
...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

47. No way! I love that one.

:D

[hisownpetard]

48. O. My. God.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. But I hate "The Christmas Shoes"!

That must give me some street cred!

:P

[hisownpetard]

53. Mad props, Mr. Welk. nt

[QueenOfCalifornia]

54. Why do you hate America?

I mean... It's Christmas and nothing says Holidays like that song.

[yellowdogintexas]

41. I hate the really maudlin ones, Mostly country, I might add, and the way

too quirky ones, like the damn dogs and the cats doing Silent Night

I also hate any Christmas Music prior to the official beginning of Advent on the Church Calendar

[WritingIsMyReligion]

42. "The Christmas Shoes."

Also "Do They Know It's Christmas?" No, you idiots; as they're in Africa, they probably don't actually give a damn about Christmas, but thanks for playing.

:crazy:

Incidentally, I get a kick out of singing to "Wonderful Christmastime" and "Last Christmas" and even "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" the first couple hundred times I hear it. :D

[Frank Cannon]

55. You beat me to it. I hate that fucking song. (n/t)

[TommyO]

43. How could I forget, "Dominic the Donkey"

hee haw, hee haw...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

45. I heard that every study hall last year.

My teacher jacked up the internet radio throughout December, and every day at 1:30 or something like that, the station booted up "Dominic."

[Chovexani]

44. All of them

The only Christmas song I like is "Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas".

I think all carols should have action sequences.

[Taverner]

49. Rufus the Redneck Reindeer

Or some stupid stereotypical "redneck" name.

[Lady Effingbroke]

52. another vote for 'The Christmas Shoes'.

An overly maudlin, stickily-sweet, treacly holiday trifle - IOW, :puke:

[annonymous]

56. I detest I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

That song is so annoying whenever I hear it on the radio, I change the station. I also hate The Christmas Shoes. That is the most depressing Christmas song ever.
