While it would be easy to list some of the greatest Christmas song performances in a top 10 or top 25 list (any such list would have to include Nat King Cole's rendition of Torme's The Christmas Song, and Bing Crosby's rendition of White Christmas to be taken seriously), it might be more fun to come up with the FReeper Nation's opinion of the WORST Christmas songs ever

Meme Kalikimaka by Poi Dog Pondering has to be near the top. It is on the Acoustic Christmas CD (various artists with some decent songs) and never fails to get a groan from anyone who hears it.

By 10 lengths, "The Little Drummer Boy".

By a nose, "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".

By a whisker, "Rudy the Red-Nosed Rinodeer".

Oh and I’d like to add, “Rockin’ Around teh Christmas Tree.”

I hate that one with a passion.

Oh, ya better watch out,
ya better not cry,
ya better not pout,
I’m tellin’ you why,
Santa Claus is DEAD

That’s my favorite.

I also enjoy Sleigh Ride. I downloaded 8 different versions of that and burned it to a CD which I gave to friends for Christmas one year. I played it for several hours at a party and no one noticed that it was the same song over and over and over.

I concur with anything anyone posts on this topic, even before reading their choices. I like the traditional stuff; Give me Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Rosemary Clooney, etc.

“Grandma got ran over by a reindeer” is the worst Christmas song. EVER!

This is the WORST rendition of one of the most beautiful Christmas carols.

It is the SINGER (Hillary Klintoon) who is annoying.

Judge for yourself here:

One of the best Christmas songs was from JAG, season 9. (Erica Gimpel) is entertaining the troops in Iraq and sings “Christmas All Year Long”.

It used to be on youtube, but I can’t find the clip anymore.

I'm all choked up having watched the Mary Did You Know vid with the song writer in the main role (Who's Mary? Why ask her so many times? Oh, never mind!) Is this what they call a torch song? Really, it calls for someone like Ethel Merman or William Shatner to sing it, though the author himself does a pretty good job, and I imagine Kenny Rogers knows how to go over the top too.

Any instrumental version of The Twelve Days of Christmas, because without the lyrics it really begins to sound like a stuck record

To the tune of “Winter Wonderland” (with a well defined Balmer (from Baltimore) accent) (Essex isn’t a nice neighborhood)

Oh, by the way, hey did you know
Tomorrow night, we’re playing bingo
It’s a beautiful sight, we’re going bowling tonight
We’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland

Down the plant, we got the day off
Cuz the foreman got his payoff
We’re drinkin’ all day
We been wizzing away
We’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland

Let me tell you sumpin at this time, hon
Essex is da only place to be
While you’re at it you should get your hair done
And bleach it blonde so all the folks’ll see

We’re gettin Hazel to make some eggnog
In the fireplace, we’ll burn a fake log
Little Butchie will cry
Eatin rum pumpkin pie
We’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland

Joey’s home from the service
And his girlfriend is gettin nervous
While he was at sea
She contracted VD
They’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland

You can make and ornament from a Bud can
And then you’se can hang it from the tree
“Sherry are you pregnant?” she’ll say “No, man”
“But I’m thirteen, so ain’t it time to be?”

We’re calling Donnie up in jail
We’re raising money to post his bail
Iron Maiden is cranked
And Uncle Jimmy is tanked
We’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland
We’re walkin in an Essex Wonderland

Happy Holidees, Hon

The ones I originally came up with when I started reading this post looks like they've mostly been covered already:

Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
John Denver - Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas
Anyone - 12 Days of Christmas (right up there with 100 bottles of beer on the wall)
NewSong - The Christmas Shoes (way too depressing for Christmas)
Singing Dogs - Jingle Bells
Anyone - Fum Fum Fum (inane)
Ames Brothers - Good King Wenceslas

BTW, one of the best that's very little know is "Solder's King" by Donny Osmond. Also really like Narada, John Tesh and John Williams' soundtrack from Home Alone. IMHO, some of the best Christmas music artists are folks I wouldn't normally listen to at all. And, how can anyone NOT like Mannheim Steamroller :o)? C'mon you guys!

“Grama Got Ran Over By A Reindeer” is my most annoying Christmas song.

Marilyn's "Santa Baby" is actually kinda good.

Since Madonna is merely a Marilyn impersonator (and not a very good one, BTW) it stands to reason that her cover version would suck.
