OT: Worst Christmas songs - add your nominations here

[sibelius]

The local stations have begun playing Christmas music, and I'm amazed at how many are just terrible! With this in mind, my wife and I started our own list of the worst Christmas songs. I'll post what we've come up with here and y'all can add your own list. If we have enough different nominations, we may need to run a poll on this. So what are the worst Christmas songs? List your nominations here.

Here's our list:

Santa Claus is Coming to Town – Bruce Springsteen

Frosty the Snowman – Ronettes

Santa Baby – Eartha Kitt

Feliz Navidad – Jose Feliciano

Twelve Days of Christmas – by anyone

Little St. Nick – Beach Boys

Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by G a y la Peevey

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time – Paul McCartney

Last Christmas – George Michael

So This is Christmas – John Lennon

[EDBSIP]

"Last Christmas – George Michael"

hate to admit it, but I kind of like this song :cool:

[206]

Anything with "Barking Dogs"

[madden821]

Any "classic" that was remade by somebody in the last 15 years.

And I'll say that I am very sick of "Gandma got runover by a reindeer."

[Eazy-D66]

No way! Christmas Dogs are awesome!

[Eazy-D66]

Any thoughts on "Spaceman Came a Travelling" by Chris Deburgh (I think that is the name and the artist) lol

[RipkenFan8]

And I'll say that I am very sick of "Gandma got runover by a reindeer."


+1 to that

and "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus"

[Eazy-D66]

I'd just like to put out there that the BEST christmas song of all time is, without a doubt, a little tune by the Royal Guardsmen from the 60's called "Snoopy's Christmas".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlf---13Q0g&feature=related


It's prequel, "Snoopy vs the Red Barron" is also an excellent camp tune.

[Bill]

12 days of Christmas is great with the McKenzie Bros, but lets do away with most of the Christmas songs which have nothing to do with the true Christmas meaning

[madden821]

12 days of Christmas is great with the McKenzie Bros

I love that version.

[daboltz]

That horrible Christmas song by Gloria Estefan! It just won't go away! :spawnskul

[93leafs]

The Jingle Cats - White Christmas

[Cowtown]

'Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)'
--John Denver (1975)

Madonna's version of "Santa Baby"

And, Father Guido Sarducci's attempt at the worst Christmas song ever written:
[MP3: Don Novello as Father Guido Sarducci: 'One Hundred Bulbs (on the Christmas Tree)'.

[starscream's ghost]

all of them

[Tanner2126]

That damn Christmas Shoe song. Everytime my mom hears it, she cries. Why the hell would someone make a song like that!?

[Point65]

The duet with Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan. I don't know the title (something about pigging out this Christmas), but after hearing it more than once, it's no longer cute.

Did any of the songs in your worst list start off as cute or likeable, then you just outgrew them? I ask because my kids just love Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

[sub4]

I love the x-mas song Ding Fries Are Done.

[petenfld]

So This is Christmas – John Lennon
I am ok with John's version, it's the Melissa Ethridge version that mkaes paint melt off walls that I cannnot stand!!


Plus anything that has Rosie singing as a duet

[snedden001]

roof roof roof - roof roof roof - roof roof roof roof rooof - roof roof roof - ra-roof roof roof - roof roof roof roof roof

[animal _x_ca]

So this is Christmas , JOHN LENNON :mad: versionI hate that song:mad:

[pensfan71]

So this is Christmas , JOHN LENNON :mad: versionI hate that song:mad:

Really? you have problems:)

[UFCFan]

I hate Feliz Navidad, but the "Police Stopped My Car" parody of it is kinda funny.

I am actually pretty sick of almost all Christmas music, except for some of the Trans Siberian Orchestra stuff-and even that is getting stale.

[ruggerx]

Santa Claus is Coming to Town – Bruce Springsteen? Really? That's one of the BEST Christmas songs.

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer for worst. End of discussion.

[HoosierDaddy]

Why all the hate for the Lennon and McCarthy songs? I enjoy those. I also love the Trans Siberian Orchestra stuff.

"Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer" would probably be the worst, I agree. It was funny originally but it is so wore out that it isn't fun to listen to anymore.

[sibelius]

Anyone that hates "So, This is Christmas" by John Lennon. has no taste in music, and should be smacked across the head. Its a total classic, and the only Christmas song that matters in my book. I guess some people are "too cool" for songs by him now.

LOL naw, he just sucks, that's all.

[sibelius]

12 days of Christmas is great with the McKenzie Bros, but lets do away with most of the Christmas songs which have nothing to do with the true Christmas meaning

I didn't really count the McKenzie Bros' version because they changed up the lyrics - I was referring to the versions that included the drummers, maids, pipers, rings and all those damn birds.

[sibelius]

Updated List With All Nominations:

Santa Claus is Coming to Town – Bruce Springsteen

Frosty the Snowman – Ronettes

[sibelius]

That horrible Christmas song by Gloria Estefan! It just won't go away! :spawnskul

Are you referring to "Christmas Through Your Eyes" by Gloria Estefan?

[gratzi]

It's not by an artist but one local radio station plays THE HELL out fo the stupid "Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey" song every year, make me want to punch everything around me.

I like Santa Claus is coming to Town aswell, especially when Clarence Clemens chimes in

[bonez3408]

The best song is Merry ****g Christmas by the guys at South Park!

Great thread Jeff.

I too hate Little St. Nick from the Beach Boys...."Christmas comes each time this year"......no kidding.....:rolleyes::p

I personally those teenie bopper groups like that Cheetah Girls. I cringe when i hear stuff like that.:D

[Sk8er Boy]

Jingle Bell Rock. It's annoying and there isn't even a hint of "Rock" in it.

[sibelius]

ttt

[SeattleMariners51445]

I don't like any Christmas music.:)

[BostonFan4933]

I can't believe it took this long for this one to be brought up.

[tagmac]

You have to be Italian, or at least like Italian folk music to really appreciate Dominick the Donkey. Can't hate on Lou Monte, having grown up listening to his music.

As for the songs I hate - nearly anything made in the last 15 years. You just can't beat the classics!

As for my #1 most hated from the list........"So this is Christmas," by John Lennon - cannot stand that stupid, hippie piece of crap that tries to send the message that we should feel guilty if we haven't "done something to change the world" at Christmastime. And the thought of a bunch of little flower children holding up lighters and swaying back and forth like little drones to John and Yoko makes me cringe even more. *shudder*

[utgrad92]

Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Christmas Song I liked it as a kid, but hate it at 44!

Exactly!

[matzushocka]

The Christmas shoe song. Just because you make up a sad story and use the word Christmas in a song doesn't make it a Christmas song. That's cheap.

[lwagner57]

Worst by far is. There will be no snow in Africa this year

[Vandy58]

Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas by G a y la Peevey



That is number one on my list. I ******* hate that song

[PAUL GROSS]

Percy the Puny Poinsettia. The dumbest song ever!!

[PAUL GROSS]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC2XJXd8NV0

[Point65]

Well, that song is the defining Christmas song, IMO... I didnt think anyone could not like it. Guess I was wrong. Maybe Miley Cyrus can redo it, and make it better?

You just reminded me of something else. Does Celine Dion really think she's that "cool" that she can remake anything at it would be cool with everyone listening on the radio? I think I heard her remake of a John Lennon song (I can't remember if it's a Christmas song - maybe it was Imagine) that's ONLY associated with him. Some things should be left the way they are, but this gargoyle insists on recording whatever she feels is "important to her fans."

Whew! Didn't know I had that in me. I'm going to go have some egg nog.

[Ronzie]

So This is Christmas – by the rotten corpse John Lennon

[sibelius]

Percy the Puny Poinsettia. The dumbest song ever!!

LOL I don't think I ever heard that one!

[sibelius]

bump for any last nominations before the poll . . .
