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

Frosty the Snowman
Melt, melt, melt, melt, melt.

I prefer the Porky Pig version of "Blue Christmas"

I'm having a hard time with the Quicktime plugin... anyone have this as just a downloadable MP3 or Windows Media file?

Ukrainian Bell Choir.

Oh, sure. It's kinda pretty. But after hearing for the thousandth time and Christmas is still weeks away I want to open a vein.

[PaulaB]

Do you like Christmas at all?

Just asking

[kevkrom]

I think its a comment on the "artist", not the songs themselves.

[PaulaB]

I would agree that anything by BS is weird

and uncalled for.. ;P

My brother works at A.C.Moore, and he can rattle off a long list of God-awful Christmas songs they cycle through on the P.A.

Just heard that one the other day. The guy with the lights is hilarious.

Now why the hell are they BLINKING!?!?!

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Now why the hell are they BLINKING!?!?!

I've got to be careful. On more than one occasion, I've caught myself muttering under by breath to the Mrs. "Fine, if your so smart, you rig up the lights!" :~D

[apackof2]

I'll take your word for it

Jinglebell Rock is practically my favorite song (popular song, not hymn) of all time.
