Wow Supermouse, that was a tearjerker song, I couldn’t even watch it all.
Grandma got run over by a raindeer tops my list of worst songs.

Dominic the Donkey by Lou Monte

I’ll also throw in a vote for Last Christmas by Wham.

I’ve ALWAYS hated Nat King Cole’s version of “The Christmas Song”. I feel it’s too slow and boring.

Chyna, you’re right Grandma Got Run Over is horrible, too.

cookieman's avatar

OK, another vote for Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer – Also sucks.

who says people can just write about anythng they want without much talent?
They have to be good christmas songs
Nat King Cole (or whomever wrote the christmas song) its different. It took thought to make that song. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire….....from there its awesome.

“Some of the best songs are not from the new millennium”

@90s_kid: Amen to that.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

It’s a combination of “ridiculous” and “horrible voice” that I just can’t stand.

After “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus”... The original version just doesn’t cut it….

I really can not stand The Little Drummer Boy or We Three Kings. It’s the same reason for both. They each have far too many verses and they drone on and on and on. I’m pretty sure Dante’s third ring of Hell included a fifth grade choir concert featuring these two songs.

All secular ones that are about snowman, candy cane, sleds, chestnuts on the openfire, Santa , Rudolph , elves, mistletoe, presents, Christmas tree, snow flakes, jingle bells.
Those type of “carols” take away your focus of TRUE meaning of the Holyday which is Jesus Christ.

@Autumn, you are SO right on that one. I turn the radio off when that damn thing comes on. Since I hit a big deer last month & totaled my car, I also hate “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” LOL. But it would have been on my list anyway. It’s a stupid song.

eambos's avatar

That Paul McCartney one is horrible.

augustlan's avatar

Christmas Shoes and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer…for completely different reasons. Manipulative and idiotic, respectively.

laureth's avatar

Oh, but “We three kings” and “Do they know it’s Christmas” are two of my favorites, and you know why? Lyrics. Where else can you get lyrics like this in a song about the happiest time of year?

We Three Kings:
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Do They Know It’s Christmas:
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you

…They’re so morbid. I guess I’m oddly amused at them in the midst of “Joy to the World” and “All is calm, all is bright.”
