‘All I Want For Christmas' tops most annoying song poll, still tops Billboard's Holiday 100

“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!

Also, they are really, really starting to overplay, “Baby It’s Cold Outside”.

Yeah. But that song pisses off the liberals. So I give it a pass.

I HATE Carol Of The Bells!
Sounds like a funeral dirge!

Having excoriated Little Drummer Boy and Jingle Bell Rock in past years I'll settle on Do They Know It's Christmas? for this one. Next year I'll be complaining about I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus...

Nobody’s mentioned “Mrs Claus’ Kimono” by The Drive By Truckers - THERE'S a twisted Christmas carol...

“I'm a sinister elf,
With a sinister plan,
Santa's little helper,
With too much time on my hands,
He's got a fine lookin’ wife,
For such an old man,
I can see her lookin’ at me,
When there is no one else around...”

“My wife uses cream of onion instead of cream of mushroom though.”

My boss’ aunt Dorcas Reilly invented green bean casserole. The original recipe included Worcestershire, soy sauce, celery salt — and ham.

Right. War is never over just because someone wants it. Unless it’s the bully that made the war necessary.

You don’t choose war, but sometimes, war chooses you.

90-some posts and no mention of “Christmas Shoes”?

I can’t stand any version of “12 Days of Christmas” except the one by Relient K - they slog through it in about 4 minutes, even including extra lyrics.

My local Christian radio station slips into all Christmas music after Thanksgiving. I am already Frostied out. I have to resort to playing “Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire” and “Walking Round in Women’s Underwear” to get my spirit back.

Pretty much anything by McCartney post-Beatles is annoying as hell.

I've always believed that he and Lennon were a successful songwriting team because they each somehow cancelled out the other's worst tendencies.

Trans Siberian Orchestra...ugh.

For the most part, I totally agree. I do enjoy a piece that they do called "Wish Liszt", though.

Must be UK thing, I don’t even know what that is...............

Maybe, I didn't hear it until satellite radio jumbled all the regional radio markets' playlists together. It definitely wasn't a thing down in Louisiana or Mississippi, back in the terrestrial broadcast radio days.

I figured "Dominick" was an east coast, New York/New Jersey thing, but never bothered to check.

Nah, the most annoying song is without question....

All the stupid covers of “Santa, Baby”.... nearly every year some new person tries to cover this song and does so terribly.... Just play the original version by Eartha Kitt, or don’t play it at all.
