Naaah. I mean it’s bad, but not worst ever. Most of the standards are just as simplistic and saccharin. I think I might reserve worst ever for Baby It’s Cold Outside, just because when you really get down to it that song is about date rape.
“Santa Baby” has “Do They Know It’s Christmas” beaten by a wide margin.
Senimental favorite....
Christmas at Kmart by Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band.
Christmas at K-Mart, all over the store,
People are buying just a little bit more.
So if youre still shopping with money to spend,
How bout this album by Root Boy Slim?
Christmas at K-Mart, Christmas at K-Mart—
The mood ring counter is all aglow,
When Root Boy starts his Christmas show.
Winos sleep on the hot-air grill,
Hippies all take their Christmas pill.
Cough syrup, sold out tonight,
Those Locker Room users in their usual fright.
That lingerie counter was grab and go,
Shoplifters’ bags on overflow.
Santa got a dose in San Jose,
Come to the K-Mart, wants love to stay.
I must have died and gone to Heaven,
Cause Hell is Christmas at the 7-11.
It’s available on 45 here:

“The Christmas Shoes.”
Listen to the lyrics. The moral of the story is that some little kid’s mom is dying of cancer, just so the narrator can learn not to be grumpy at Christmastime.
Vomitastic.
