Top 7 Worst Christmas Songs

Last year, we ran through the list of best Christmas songs and carols. Lotsa of great memories. This year, it's time to list the WORST Christmas songs ever recorded. Some are because the version performed by the "artist" is horrid. Others because the song itself is weak and irritating. You be the judge.

Either way, I had a difficult time paring down the list. I left off "novelty" songs by the Chipmunks and Donald Duck, etc. They were intended to annoy, and thus were successful in their own right!

Top 7 Worst Christmas Songs Ever Recorded

7. Blue Christmas - by ANYONE OTHER THAN ELVIS PRESLEY -- Great song when sung by the King. Otherwise it is grating beyond belief.

6. 12 days of Christmas - various artists -- Why anyone listens to this silly thing is beyond me

5. Frosty the Snowman - various artists -- As annoying to me as the TV cartoon trotted out each year

4. Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid -- Another Bob Geldof save the starving biafrins effort. Truly unlistenable. With singing contributions from Boy George, Stink (Sting to some), and Wham, it is doomed to make many "worst" lists until it is completely forgotten about.

3. So This is Christmas - John Lennon -- As bad, if not worse, than his retarded Give Peace A Chance. A dirge for the ages.

2. Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen -- Truly pathetic, like 98% of his constipated sounding songs.

1. Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Jackson Five -- Truly the most irritating vocals I've ever heard, by a screeching young Michael Jackson. Nails on Chalkboards sound like Pavoratti by comparison

I always thought that song was "Police nab me dad." ?

Another monitor shot to hell.

[television is just wrong]

I have an original Elvis Christmas Album. Only played twice.

Autographed.

My grandfather worked at Paramount Studios. Found it on the floor of their house after my parents cleaned it out. Apparently they thought it was flawed (marked up), and were going to throw it out.

I treasure it.

Pa-RUMP-a-pum-pum.

Major suckitude.

[ViLaLuz]

HAA HAAAAA!

The Twelve Yats of Christmas

[Lawgvr1955]

Over 120 posts and no one has mentioned "Merry Christmas In the NFL".

[Khurkris]

"GrandMa and the Reindeer" song...absolutely sucks.

Worst song ever..."The Rodeo Song"..."Well its 40 below but I don't...blah blah..gotta heater in my truck and I'm off to the Ro-De-Oooo"...that one.

I actually saw a guy shoot the juke box after that song played for the 14th or 25th time. The bartender just shrugged, 4 of us bought him a drink. He later paid for the damage, but said it was probably worth it. We all agreed and chipped in $20 each.

[MinuteGal]

The Little Drummer Boy".....by anyone.

Talk about the Chinese Water Torture.

Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum

Leni

[highlander_UW]

Any of the Chipmunks songs.

Ohh...Ohhh! I second that one!

[ozarkgirl]

Do they play this where you are?

"I waaaant a hippaaatamus for Christmas
Only a hippaaaatamus will do...."

It's a horrible song that will torment your brain for hours yet children continue to call the station to play it again and again and again.

[RMDupree]

Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" (I think that's the title anyway)

The worst ever BUMP!

[logician2u]

Or anyone singing The Little Drummer Boy?

Thoroughly agree. Rum-de-dum-dumb.

[StACase]

Uh, "Blue Christmas" by Elvis is my Number One bad Christmas tune. Right up there with his "Ghetto Kid" tune.

[stocksthatgoup]

The Christmas Shoes

[DaGman]

"2. Santa Clause is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen -- Truly pathetic, like 98% of his constipated sounding songs.

Springsteen? Constipated sounding? You like Lawrence Welk better?

Merry Christmas from the Family
By: Robert Earl Keen

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin' champagne punch
And homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him
Til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife Mary Nell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stereo plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extension cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons , some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motor home in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Mix Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite
A box of midol, some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family
