Inspired by Victor’s link to a site listing the most overplayed Christmas songs, I decided to list my bottom 3 Christmas songs of all time. The truth is that all three of the bottom three are so bad that they should be listed as co winners of the #1 worst Christmas songs. I am sorry, but I just hate these tunes.
Dishonorable Mention:
All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey – I loved it, until it was played so many times that I want to scratch my eyes out and jump off the Empire State building while drinking antifreeze every time I hear it.
Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms – Like the previous song by Mariah Carey, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t attached to singing Christmas trees similar to the Billy Big Mouth Bass.
#3. The Christmas Song by Alvin and The Chipmunks – The voices are annoying enough, then add the goofy 3/4 waltzy bop timing with a polka feel, and you have a daggum horrible tune that everyone thinks is so cute. NO IT’S NOT!
#2. Santa Baby sung by anyone – This version is Eartha Kitt who made the tune famous. It’s annoyingness needs no description.
#1. Rockin Around the Christmas Tree performed by Brenda Lee – To me, this song sounds like fingernails scratching a chalkboard. I hate this song. I hate this song. And for the record, I HATE THIS SONG. There, I feel better now.
