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
Sorry you had to settle, TWW. =]
Santa's Brain in a pickle jar...found where someone put it to video.

It should have its own category, along with Rosanne and the Star Spangle Banner, IMO. ;o)
Uhgggggg.
Gets you right into the spirit, eh?
I agree. It was awful.
See, we do agree on occasion. LOL.

In case I did not say this before, have a truly joyful and blessed Christmas!!!!!
Yak soon
