“I don’t want a lot for Christmas” but for some, the one thing they do want is to hear the song again!

A poll across the UK has found that the most annoying Christmas song out there isn’t “Jingle Bells” or “Dominick the Donkey” or even “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” but rather Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You," Variety reported.

Huawei, a mobile phone company, conducted the survey.

The Carey Christmas Classic may be the number one most annoying, but some other songs you hear on constant rotation on the radio also made the list, Variety reported.

1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey

2. “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band-Aid

3. “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday,” by Wizzard

4. “Merry Xmas Everybody” by Slade

5. “Last Christmas” by Wham!

Mariah’s song is okay. The one I dislike is Bruce Springsteen rasping his way through Santa Claus is Coming To Town.

That one makes me take out the flamethrower.

Little Drummer Boy is my all time gag me song; although I love Johnny Cash.

My wife would sometimes be too indulgent of my children when they were very young. One such time was when they insisted on repeat play of the Chipmunk’s “The Christmas Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late) on repeat ... in August, with the windows down (AC wasn’t working). She was embarrassed at the lights.

Still, her worst song is John Lennon’s “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)”, followed by previously mentioned McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas Time”.

My worst two are “The Little Drummer Boy” (I picture it used with bamboo shoots under the finger nails), and Elton John’s “Ho Ho Ho (Who’d Want to Be a Turkey at Christmas?)” which is the flipside of the utterly pedestrian “Step Into Christmas”.

“Last Christmas” is gayer than Liberace and Paul Lynde having a sleepover on Oscar night.

Feliz Navidad for SURE. I picture that song being played in the background of every kitchen in the world as the hideous Green Bean Casserole is being made. And the fruitcake is thawing. For the 18th straight year. *😳*!

I still don’t know what a Parson Brown is but I do know it’s my grandson’s fave right now probably because it’s one they’ve been practicing for the program. I like it alright. It’s fun to sing with the kids. That and the Twelve days of Christmas lol.

I’m glad that song is enjoyable for some but for me it’s one of the most annoying tunes there is. :) I like the traditional ones by like Bing Cosby etc.

Have you heard the sendup to Mariah Cary’s Xmas tune, “All I want for Christmas is Jews”, by Melissa McQueen?

It’s harmless; Jewish folks find it funny. It even depicts Mariah’s “cougar license”. Worth a listen, IMO.

I try to stick to Big Band Christmas and Sacred Music (Organ, Choir, Orchestra and such)

However, you can download radio Broadcasts from 1939-1945 and pull the December broadcasts to burn to a drive to play in your car or home

I would also add McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time" to the list.

Man, I hate that song. Also, they are really, really starting to overplay, "Baby It's Cold Outside".
