Okay, so everyone has a favorite christmastime song or carol or whatever, right? But I also bet there's probably a few out there that are so inane, so trivial, so treacly, that it makes your blood boil every time you hear it.

For me, that song is Christmas Shoes.

Post yours so you can make everyone else suffer.

You stole mine Beertruck, that soung is horrendous.

"Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer" is pretty high on the list too though.

I agree with Maverick that Grandma got run over by a reindeer is high on the list.
The worst christmas song is obviously this version of "o holy night" though

Or any version of O Holy Night, for that matter.

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas"

I won't torture by posting a link to this God-Awful song. They play it at the park all December and every time I hear it I just wanna rip someone's face off.

First time I heard that song was when my 5yr old niece sang it with her class for her schools holiday concert. It was cute then. But yea one of the worst songs there is. And that Christmas shoe song just makes me wanna bash my face in with a brick

^ I actually heard "Last Christmas" on the radio in the summer last year...and it struck me that it wasn't actually much of a Christmas song. You can replace the word "Christmas" with the word "summer" or "April", and the song still holds together. It's just Christmas because they say the word.

I've decided my least favorite of all time is "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Why? The lyrics. They don't make any damn sense at all.

"Do you see what I see? A star, a star, shining in the night with a tail as big as a kite..."

Uh, stars don't have tails. Unless it's a comet, or a shooting star. And if it's a shooting star, good luck finding Jesus using it. And since when did they have kites back when Jesus was being born? Maybe both the "night wind" and the lamb both are wise beyond their years.

"Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, 'Do you hear what I hear?'."

Yeah, I hear a talking lamb. What the fuck?

"Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, 'Do you know what I know'?"

Well, you apparently know how to get into the castle to talk to the king, even though you're just a shepherd boy. Maybe this is a really laid-back king, but even so.

"A child, a child shivers in the cold - let us bring him silver and gold."

Yeah, that's the best thing to give somebody who's shivering in the cold - conductive metals. How about a fucking blanket?

"Said the mighty king to people everywhere, 'Listen to what I say. Pray for peace, people everywhere..."

Um, you're the king. If anybody can declare peace, that should be YOU, right?

^ I believe the "star" they were talking about in the song is supposed to be like the Star Of Bethlehem, which was obviously no ordinary star (something conspiracy theorists and UFO peoples think may have been extraterrestrials and shiz)

See. It even makes sense with the rest of the song. xD The Three Kings and shit.

midwestblues · 1st Dec 2010, 03:54 PM

How about despised winter holiday songs other than Christmas? Any of Adam Sandler's Hannukah Songs rank at the top of that list.
