2. Silent Night and Away in a Manger
and as a choir member, I have to sing them every Christmas.

I also hate all the commercial Christmas songs. Every last one of them.

31. My nan died 12/24/1984. By a tractor, apparently (too young to remember).
As such, this song is banned in our household.

Mark.

9. The Barbara Streisand version of Jingle Bells is the most retarded piece of shit ever.
One of those songs that's not just my least favorite Christmas song, but one of the most retarded, pathetic recordings ever committed to audio tape.

15. Oh no it isn't!
Barbara's singing voice has always made me cringe, frankly. But THIS is far more hideous :scared:

And no, it's not a RickRoll, I swear.

Although the carrot-play was mildly amusing.

Horrible. I want to rip my ear drums out and stomp on them for good measure when this song is played.

48. The amphetamines are so unpredictable
Technically, Jingle Bells doesn't mention Christmas or anything religious... just a winter song. But that was painful.

Not cute, not clever, not funny.

And I absolutely loathe and detest any Xmas performance by Mannheim Steamroller.

13. Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"
Usually love Bruce, but I always try to see if I can get thru Christmas without hearing that damn song. I'm rarely successful in that endeavor.

16. I hear you.
The worst was the Christmas I had a part time job at a toy store, and got to hear christmas carols performed by muppets, the chipmunks, tween pop stars, etc from the day after Halloween until well into January.

Pure f'n torture.

30. Good God
could you give a little warning? I almost couldn't get out of there before it started, which doesn't really matter because the damn song is running through my head now anyway. :banghead:

24. Pretty much all of them. Except for the beautiful hymns, they're all cheesy.
I'm an Atheist who'd rather listen to "O Holy Night" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" than "Jingle Bell Rock" and "The Christmas Song" ANY day.

:hi:

26. "Santa Baby": any version
Highly annoying, in my opinion. On the other hand, I love the commonly-hated "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney. What can I say? haha

34. "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"...
Any song that can pull of the Rumsfeldian achievement of turning "jingle bell" and "mistletoe" into verbs deserves a place in Satan's Holiday Collection. Plus "there'll be scary ghost stories"...WTF? Did the writer of this song actually have a completely-different holiday a couple of months earlier in mind?

(Actually, not to sound too much like a fundamentalist, but virtually every Christmas song -- particularly written from the '50s until now -- that doesn't even mention...you know...Christmas except as a highly-secular time of gift-giving, feasting, snowy landscapes, and some guy in a red suit winds up on my sh*t-list. Guys, if you want to write a "winter solstice celebration" song, go ahead and call it a winter solstice celebration song...just don't insist that your Saturnalia anthem is really about "Christmas.")

46. Happy XMas (War is Over). Sung by ANYone.
I know, that loses me liberal points, but who cares. Cats clawing a blackboard at a morgue housing your family. A barbituate overdose of a song if I've ever heard one, and Yoko Ono's "voice" doesn't make it any easier.

Runners up:

I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas by Gayle Peavey. Yet another reason to hate the 50s.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Bruce Springsteen. Sung with all of the subtlety of a drunk at his favorite karaoke palace.

Any Christmas song sung by a diva, boy band or modern R&B group. Instant disaster.
