Worst Christmas Music

[EntirelyOfThisWorld]

O.K., I'll start.
Santa Clause is Comming to Town, espcially the Springsteen version (Sorry, boss, it's your darkest hour. . er three minutes)

Dogs Barking Jingle bells.

Foot note; Gene Autry is reputed to have hated Frosty the Snow Man

Ironically, for this old atheist curmudgeion, the least anoying are alot of the old christian carols, and the Irving Berlin stuff.

Worst christmas song: little drummer boy.

+1 Springsteen: Santa Clause is Coming to Town

I hate "Silver Bells" and "Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer"

God, I hate that one.  Not a big Springsteen fan to start with, and this is neck and neck for his worst song with I'm Going Down. (500,000 "down's" in 3 minutes, Boss, really?)

Dogs Barking Jingle bells.

Love this one.  As a kid I got back as those nasty, brutish adults for the many and varied indignities they visited upon the youth.  In a restaurant my parents gave me a quarter to play a Christmas song.  When I put in the quarter, lo and behold a miracle from God.  Just as the fish and four loaves fed the multitude, so the quarter fed a multitude of 100 song credits.  Barking Jingle Bells Dogs were due for 100 playings that day before the restaurant owners finally found a way to shut off the machine.

Some other really annoying ones:

So this is Christmas:  More condescending, preachy lyrics from the narcissist who's more popular than Jesus.
Little Drummer Boy:  Especially the version by gravel-gargling Bob Seger.
Jingle Bell Rock:  Nuff said.

[GrinningYMIR]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire


I hate it with a burning passion


I also don't really like the Mariah Carrey song anymore, overplayed to the point of annoyance

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Every xmess song ever written or played..  If it comes on the radio I automatically tune out..

Some Christmas songs are really silly.

I can't believe nobody has brought up
The Christmas Shoes

For those of you unfamiliar, here are the lyrics.

This was also, OF COURSE, made into a Hallmark movie. I am dead serious.

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Repeat Chorus

[Hydra009]

All of it.  Sappy, superficial, dull, awkward - there's a reason why it's not played the rest of the year.

[Shiranu]

I like Carol of the Bells. Other than that though, any other Christmas song deserves to be punched in the nuts.

[wolf39us]

Kinda reminds me.  I'm going to see TSO tonight!

Can't wait!  Now that's GOOD Christmas music

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Cue Anita Bryant singing... ##jabs pencil in ears at the mere thought..#

##Pencil brings relief.## :)

[Shiranu]

Yadda yadda blah blah

Not familiar with it, but I am picturing music by some sappy '70 pop schtik band like Captain an Tenile, or Tony Orlando, or any more recent Country act.

EDIT: Bobby Gentry was the name I was searching for, or Jim Croce with a lobotomy

As far as The Little Drummer Boy, hate to say it, but it's one of my faves.  Think about it.  Heres this kid saying "O.K, it's christmas and I gotta get you something, just don't expect me to spend a lot"

Cue Anita Bryant singing... ##jabs pencil in ears at the mere thought..#

OMG, I had forgotten all about her.  One of the pioneers of religious wingnuttery.

It's a crooning, sweet-voiced male country singer who sings it like a soft lullabye.
