WORST Christmas Songs Ever - Vanity
11/19/2012 | VRWCmember

Posted on 11/19/2012 9:17:52 PM PST by VRWCmember

As some radio stations have already begun playing Christmas Songs, it is time once again to compile our annual list of the absolute worst musical offerings of the season. The first three songs on my list are pretty much indisputibly the worst songs ever written as musical celebrations of the season. The fourth I've only heard recently but immediately recognized that it certainly belongs in any top ten list of worst Christmas songs. The rest of the list should be wide open, so please post your contributions. Here is my top four songs on the list, with the top three being considered beyond debate:

1. Happy Xmas War is Over, by John Lennon
2. Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time, by Paul McCartney
3. Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart, by George Michael / Wham?
4. Must Be Santa, by Bob Dylan

Dominick The Italian Christmas Donkey....without a doubt, after hearing it maybe three times during the season it sticks in my head till well after Jan.

All Christmas/Political songs like the ones with billionaires preaching to us to help the poor when all they have to do is go there, give all their money away and live in their neighborhoods spending the rest of their lives handing out food, building bridges and new homes for them.

Grandma got ran over by a reindeer

Adam Sandler’s The Thanksgiving Song (which bleeds into the Christmas Season so far it’s heard all the way until New Years.

Bruce Springsteen’s grating version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” which the radio insists on playing during the holidays. When it comes on I can’t turn my radio off fast enough.

For accuracy? I Saw Three Ships. If they were sailing into Bethlehem, they were airships.

I have hundreds of comedy/novelty/goofy Christmas Songs and over 20 hours of the fabulous (now long discontinued) “Special X” program from XM Radio, and love ‘em all. The more weird, awful, irreverent, naughty, etc - the better.

Except one. I don’t know what the name of this monstrosity is, but it’s a spoken word thing about a little girl in an orphanage named “Mary Christmas” and it makes me want to climb up in the belltower with an AK47! SO I settle for mentally dragging the needle across the record grooves and hit the skip button. It is truly beyond the pale, and I like the pale.

I’m sure I’ll get a bunch of “Oh, I love that song” comments, but I absolutely hate “Toy Packaging” by Sara Groves.

No matter who sings it, I always hated the
Pa-rumpa-dump-a-frumpy-lumpy-ump song....

Dump that song in the sump! Please!
