When this track came out, I was in my teens and was appalled that Bono was singing ‘tonight thank God it’s them and not you.’
In a CHRISTMAS song !?!
Sometimes it’s not the lyrics or the melody that offends - but the performer makes you mute the radio. Anything recorded by Bruce Springsteen makes me click ahead to the next tune on the Pandora holiday channel.
Give all the toys to the little rich boys.
The worst Christmas song actually isn’t about Christmas, but it comes out around the holiday season. It’s a good tension breaker when everybody is feeling moody.
“Teddy Bear”, by Red Sovine.
Truckers, CB radio, a paraplegic boy whose father has died, with recited lyrics by Red Sovine, who sounds like an old man with a broken voice, about ready to start crying.
The “Teddy Bear challenge” is to listen to it without wanting to cry.

I hate this song.
Paul McCartney's vapid "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" would be a close second, but at least it's a happy tune and not an angry one.
HA! See my post 25. Great minds, and all that. :-)
Worst Christmas Songs.
Santa Baby.
Last Christmas (Gayest Christmas song, ever)
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
All I Want for Christmas Is You (Especially the Mariah Carey version)
And there won’t be any snow in Africa this year?
You don’t say.
Blink - 182: I won’t be home for Christmas
(Deck the halls with boughs of holly fa la la la la la la la la)
(Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la la)
Outside the carolers start to sing
I can’t describe the joy they bring
Cause joy is something they don’t bring me
My girlfriend is by my side
From the roof are hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It’s Christmas time again
So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they’ll waste
Oh god I hate these Satan’s helpers
And then I guess I must’ve snaped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter
It’s Christmas time again
It’s time to be nice to the people you can’t stand all year
I’m growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don’t wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.
Well I guess it’s not cool to freak on Christmas Eve
Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage
And even though the jail didn’t have a tree
Christmas came a night early
Causes a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package (hot damn)
It’s Christmas time again
It’s time to be nice to the people you can’t stand all year
I’m growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don’t wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas (please post my bail)
I won’t be home
I won’t be home for Christmas
Don’t forget the SCTV Bob and Doug McKenzie version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.
I’ll see your Blink - 182 and raise you one John Denver:
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Just last year when I was only seven
And now, I’m almost eight as you can see
You came home at a quarter past eleven
Fell down underneath our Christmas tree
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Mamma smiled, looked outside the window
She told me, “Son, you better go upstairs”
But then you laughed and hollered, “Merry Christmas”
I turned around and saw my Mamma’s tears
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don’t get drunk this Christmas
I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
No, I don’t wanna see my Mamma cry
Yes, and in the video, I'd hope that she would actually get run over by one (or several).
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus
I saw it on TV a few years ago. Yoko was really awful. The rest of the show was good, especially seeing Brian Jones still with the Stones.
I discovered this one last year. It’s so bad it goes right to awesome.

Nope, it’s Last Christmas. My kids found out how much I hate that song and of course, found about 15 versions of it to put to disk. I was literally tied to a chair last year and forced to hear the entire thing.
I will add “Dominique the Donkey” and the one about a kid wanting a hippo for Christmas. Geeesh, I hate those two.
Brenda Lee was a fine artist, but the epileptic fit at the end of “Rockin’ Around Christmas Tree” would always drive me crazy…
“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. “
Crap, I was a hockey player. Didn’t need no snot nosed kid reminding me
LOL, same here many years ago, in the “dim” time ... I wasn’t that good a player, having required no dental work ;-)
The Pogues had a great Christmas song.
“Fairytale Of New York”
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me,
Won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars
Big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead
On a drip in that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It’s our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day
I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day
