Yesterday we had a thread about favorite Christmas albums, so today I thought I would post one to ask everybody: What are the WORST Christmas songs ever recorded?
In general, I hate all Christmas songs of that chinsy 70's-ish ilk.
I like all the old tinny sounding ones and most of the hymns.
The worst allegedly legitimate Christmas song I’ve ever heard is on the Time/Life Christmas Collection (I forget who sings it)
“It’s Baby’s First Christmas” sung loosely to the tune of Rock a bye baby.
The most sappy, sickening song I’ve ever heard. And I LOVE Christmas songs of all kinds. I have dozens of discs.
“Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”
We have a whole album by Leonard Nemoy. Not Christmas songs but, just sayin’......
Best Christmas song ever!
:-)
That would definitely be in my top ten, but this is my No. 1:

Feliz Navidad is pretty annoying, but I would rather be trapped in an elevator with Julio Iglesias singing Feliz Navidad on a continuous loop (you would never know when the song ended and started over) for hours, than listen to the horrid holiday offerings from McCartney, Lennon, or Wham.
Thank God It’s Not Christmas
What do I hear, what do I hear?
Chit-chat, and clinking glass
Cheap talk, a lady’s laugh
After hour
What do I see, what do I see?
Some sunken hideaway
Where people go to play
After hour
There I’ll spend the night
Meeting fancy thins
At bistros and old haunts
Trying very hard to sin
Then it is day end in a way
The pattern’s much the same
In-spots, a matinee
Every day
Blend with the crowd, blend with the loud
Hypnotic ebb and flow
Until the day goes slowly
Into night
See the same old crowd
At bistros and old haunts
‘Til the lights grow dim,
The not-so-subtle hint to be gone
Chorus:
Thank God it’s not Christmas
When there is only you
And nothing else to do
Thank God it’s not Christmas
Where there’s just you to do
The rest is closed to public view
Caroling kids, caroling kids
A trifle premature, in tones so rich and pure and crystaline
Call for the day, the popular day
It’s fast approaching now
But will the mood allow
One dissent
If this were the Seine
We’d be very suave
But it’s just the rain
Washing down the boulevard
(Chorus)
Popular days, the popular ways
Are for the chosen few
Not meant for me and you
Obviously
Popular nights, poplar rites
Great things to say and do
Aren’t said or done by you
Obviously
If this were Seine
We’d be very suave
But it’s just the rain
Washing down the boulevard

Is that the one with the Bilbo Baggins song?
So TRUE and just slightly ahead of "Happy Birthday Jesus".
Quote:
“ANY song on Bob Dylan’s Christmas CD.”
I always figured that at long as Bob Dylan was alive I would never own the title of “The Worse Singer On Earth”.
I would always be “Second Worse Singer On Earth”.
“Santa Baby”
(Eartha Kitt?)
Do you have a problem with that?
Word..........
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama please ...
“Santa Baby”
A gold digging slut begging Santa for luxury items just doesn’t seem right for a Christmas song.
But they even made a Lifetime Channel movie based on that song. Starring Chad Lowe.
