Although curmudgeonly, I kinda like holiday tunes. However whenever Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas Time Comes on I start looking for a tower to shoot student nurses.

Nominations are open.

I’m gonna email Santa by Billy Gilman

Anything and everything by Mariah Carey.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. cringe through new years...

I’ll 2nd the OP’s nomination.

Bruised Stringbean -Santa Clause is coming to town

absolutely hate this song, he sounds like he's taking a shyte

and he's a friggin obamaluvin Communist too

Santa Baby.

I worked at a grocery store in high school and it was one of the 8 songs they would play on repeat during the Christmas season. If I ever hear that song again it will be too soon

Rockin around the Christmas tree, By Brenda Lee. I think Root canal is less Painfull

Listen to this abomination. You have to stick with it to get to the terrible parts. The main song is cheezy, but that's not the problem....

McCartney takes the top spot for sure. Second place for me is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues. I can make it to about the six second mark in that one.

Santa baby
Wonderful Christmas time
Hippopotamus for Christmas (wtf is that about anyhow)
Mariah Carey

looks like you guys pretty much got em covered... guess i hate em all accept Snoopy Red Baron and a few instrumentals...

Any of them

grandma got run over by a reindeer...

Read the title and immediately knew which one I hate the worst.
But you done nominated it, auk1124 seconded it, I'll be the first to cast a vote.
The only radio station I can get at work will play it 3 times per day
for the next month.

Christmas Carols are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

The BEST Christmas Album!

That Mexican one, I want to wish you a merry Christmas…

This Texan tune is funny.

Yes

Rockin around the Xmas tree

I have heard Manhiem steamroller one too many times to add to that list.

we have siriusxm in the wife's car.

There are 2 or 3 holiday channels. The only one we listen to is the classic holiday one - Dean, Bing, Frank, Ray, Nat, Perry, Burl - the stuff my parents listened to.

Can't listen to the new stuff, and while its not offensive to the ears, I don't really want to hear any young country singers take their shot at the classics either

Yep

Hate 'em all. But I was in a restaurant the other day and heard one by Alvin and the Chipmunks followed by one I can only describe as "Christmas Rap" because the only words in it that were intelligible were Santa Claus. The rest was Negroid.

I do have a favorite Christmas album, The Kingston Trio "Last month of the year"

Since the old classics are no longer apposite to this world they all kind of suck.

OP nailed it on this one. It’s a good thing McCartney was a Beatle and did so many good things musically. It almost absolves him of that monstrosity.

However, I don’t agree with OP on Fairytale of New York, it’s high on my list of messed up Christmas songs, which also includes:

Merry Christmas from the Family by Robert Earle Keen
Father Christmas by the Kinks
The Seasons upon Us by Dropkick Murphys

Any others?

Old70

Rudolph the red nose reindeer 🤮

OP nailed it.

How it remains on any playlist is beyond me.

Maybe even worse than Mariah:

John & Yoko's "Merry Xmas (War is Over)".


Yeah, now that it's stuck in my head, it is worse.

Yes, the Mexican one, made though all of last year with out listening to hole song

Yes, Paul McCartney for the Winner! What garbage.

A close second, Brenda Lee and Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.

WOW - it took 14 posts to get to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"!!!
I expected within the first 3!

Honorable mention has to go to Red Sovine, Billy's Christmas Wish.

"His Ho-Ho brought joy to the children" LOL

Anything by Springsteen is the worst.

Osky

Christmas and otherwise.

Cher
Anne Murray
Mariah Carey
Helen Reddy


Total CRAP

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, followed by some dude shopping, meeting an old girlfriend, and snow changing to rain.

The OP may cite the worst one of all, but you guys nailed a bunch of the bad ones. Good work - but don't really need reminders.

The dog barking, "Jingle Bells " ,that makes me nuts.

Alvin n the chipmunks omg😵‍💫

Any answer other than this is wrong.

++++25

Didn't John Lenon and Yoko Ono do a few bad ones? I mean really bad ones.

Sheeeeit. "Christmas Shoes." It's a yearly dose does of syrup of ipecac.

This bitch. But this version is a classic. ha

That's awesome!

They drank a six pack in his car.

The OP and Santa Baby make me want to drive a screwdriver into my f'n ear.

Actually, ANYTHING from the Beetles or McCartney makes me want to do that. How anyone could like that group and their terrible music is beyond me.

The Chipmunks and that Jersey trash Springsteen

Yea, Bruce took a terrible ear worm of a Christmas song and turned it into a psychosis inducing CIA torture device.

I like this one:
