"Burl Ives' "Holly Jolly Christmas," "
I have to disagree with you. I have too many good memories of Burl Ives' doing America Sings at Disneyland when I was growing up to think poorly of any of his songs.
I like Burl Ives, but I think "Holly Jolly Christmas" is kind of a dippy song despite - or maybe because of - the catchy melody. It's the Christmas equivalent of Paul Simon's "59th Street Bridge Song," which I bet he'd like to destroy every copy of.
