Worst Christmas Song

[Logopile]

Imma vote for "Jingle Bell Rock".
This song could have been written at any point in human history, and it would not have "rocked".
Beethoven rocked harder, for G-d's sake.
Every time it comes on the radio at work, I think to myself I'd rather die than hear it again.
I have requested of my family that when I am on my deathbed, whoever is there must whip out his or her phone and play whatever version of this song they can find first, so I'll be happier about the whole dying thing.
edit: if Taylor Swift or Carrie Underwood would make a version of this song, that'd be AWESOME

Awesome. My little nephew was sitting by me when i played that now he's running to get my tablet so he can show it to his twin brother.
I have a feeling I'll be hearing this a lot on the future
edit: and now they have learned to "sing" along with it...thanks a bundle

I don't like that one that's all cheery. You know, the one with the people singing.

Fun Fact;
One of the greatest and most iconic Christmas songs; "White Christmas", was written by a Jewish man.
Irving Berlin.
Celebrations transcend petty distinctions such as race and religion.
Enjoy them all

"Happy Holidays", specifically the Andy Williams version. Because in my office at this time of year, they put the Christmas music station on. Every time my manager hears this song comes on, she winds up singing the line "Hoop de do, and dickory dock", just that line, for the rest of the day. Every time she walks by. In a very exaggerated voice. Of course, the song comes on multiple times a day, so she's bound to catch it at some point. I dunno what her fascination with it is, but we're all freaking traumatized after multiple years of this.

First off nice off topic thread.

I would like to nominate best(worst) santa song Kevin Bloody Wilson 'Hey Santa Claus' - I've not put link in as it is rude but you tube it if you like a laugh.

Enjoy.

Freaking awesome. This one is less risque.

Most sold song if all time....Bing Crosby singing it....White Christmas

[Logopile]

And that's my favorite version of it.
Everyone else needs to quit trying

Hands down the worst is the dogs barking Jingle Bells. I do like Crabs for Christmas but you have to have grown up near the Chesapeake Bay to really appreciate that one.

That song did not go in the direction i expected

[Old_Gregg]

Wonderful Christmas time by Paul McCartney. I hate that song with a passion and it's played annually, over and over and over wherever you go.

A few I like that you never hear, and a lot of people here will never have heard are Bo Selecta - Proper Chrimbo. The Darkness - Christmas time (don't let the bells end) and Fat Les - Naughty Christmas.

Well worth a listen for something alternative to the shmaltzy generic pap on every Christmas album ever made.

I've been lucky so far. I listen to a country station at work, so have only heard the McCartney song once or twice this year. It is pretty awful.
I'll check the others out when i get a slow moment.

God help us all.

That...made me wish i could rotate my jaw 90°, so that i could chew my own ears off.
And I have a new appreciation for the fact that i have eyelids that shut.

[Riverwitch_IV]

I despise this song!

[bargasm]

I agree, it was kinda cute the first time the first year. Way overplayed.

[Logopile]

This song jumps out at me because of the list of gifts given to "little Will".
A hammer and tacks
And a whip that cracks
I have 7 yr old twin nephews. I cannot imagine more terrifying gifts to give them.
I am SO glad to be alive now, when little boys are playing Minecraft or whatever on their tablets, rather than running around with heavy blunt instruments, sharp objects, and effing whips.
WTF, 1930's?
