Worst Christmas song.

I like most of them actually, particularly 'Driving home for Christmas' which always reminds me of picking our daughter up from school for the Christmas holidays & the long drive home. She lives a long way away now & the song unites us when it comes on the radio over the festive period. I do love Bob Dylan's "here comes Santa Claus" - very funny

My youngest GS {5} told me about his school production yesterday. They are not doing a Nativity this year but a play and he is a snowman so I was treated to his version of Frosty the Snowman which features. Also a song about icicles in which that seemed to be one of three words throughout the other two being We are, it became rather tedious.

I worked in a very large supermarket for many years and most of the time I could block out the Christmas music except for Frosty the bxxxxy Snowman. It drove me mad!

Love "The Holly and the Ivy" and "O Holy Night" Hate that one with the four boys dressed in white parkas. Can't remember their name but one line is Oh don't leave me alone like this !

If I ever have to hear Noddy Holder shouting 'It's Chriiistmaaaas' one more time...

Wham (exclamation mark)'s 'Last Christmas', now, that's different, it is part of my family's Christmas and we always put it on when we are preparing the lunch.

Am very fond of Roy Orbison, but really dislike,"Pretty Paper". Yucky sentimental stuff!
There are several TV channels devoted to X'mas films just now...time for a new thread, Worst X'mas Film??

Not strictly a Christmas song, but I hate Winter Wonderland .

I love the Christmas carols, always give me a lift Christmas time. Do like fairytale of New York though.

Sorry, I love them all, though favourites are the Pogues, and John Lennon's Happy Christmas ( War Is Over.) Elvis is particularly good too for Christmas, snarling that Santa Claus Is Back In Town.

For sheer class though, you can't beat The Coventry Carol sung by Joan Baez. Makes me shiver every time I hear it.

I work in a department store on a USAF base and we have had to put up with Christmas songs since the 1st of November. Every day the number of songs is added to. By Christmas, as always, I will be totally fed up with them. I used to love Christmas songs...not now...sighs

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but what about ," All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth? A real gem in its day

Don't think they play it in shops, thank goodness, but an all time low was surely reached with "I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus."

No, Berlioz. Knew there was a b and a z in it!

Oh yes - I keep reading previous posts. I think th Shepherds farewell is one of my favourites too. Love to tune & harmony. Bizet?

Rutter

Oh, I sing in a choir and love John Ritter carols, though I agree, thy do get a bit sameish.

Can't stands fairy tale of NY - don't understand why so many people like it. Gt fed up with the Slade one. Quite like Mistletoe and wine but hate Millenium prayer. The worst though has to be Mr Blobby!
I do like most carols and traditional ones like the 12 days of Christmas. I also like Mary's Boy Child, little drummer boy, rudolph, Im dreaming of a WC (didnt come out quite as I intended!!). But I really hate Frosty the snowman. Just read the previous post. But i dont like Scarlet ribbons - too sentimental!

I like Harry Belafonte singing Mary's Boy Child too but even better Scarlet Ribbons. Is it an Xmas song?...maybe it was released about that time.

LOVE Fairy Tale of New York-DH made me a Christmas CD for the car & put that track on 5 times!! Also love Slade & Roy Wood but not at all keen on smaltzy ballads ( any time of year)so Mathis, Buble or Cliff etc.not for me. I really like Jonah Lowie- Wish I was at home for Christmas too.
Only another couple of weeks & I can get the CD out & start singing along in the car. I refuse to do anything Christmassy before December.

To bring it back to worst song - I Yust go Nuts at Christmas by Yogi Yorgesson. I seem to remember hearing it on an LP of Christmas songs late 60s/early 70s and unfortunately can't forget it ...

Puppytoe - Phil Spector album is fab! Think this thread is turning out to be best song - not worst!

Mistletoe - or mistletone and wine - as my then little boy used to sing is a not a favourite. Greg Lake's I believe in Father Christmas with the line - The peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell - is my all time favourite. Also love The Shepherds Farewell - beautiful.

I'm another who hates Slade but loves Wizard. Mary's Boy Child is another favourite. My all time Christmas album is the Phil Spector one. Full of the girl groups and general joy. I've always loved to sing Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel at the beginning of Advent since I was at school . It just fèels like the start of Christmas time.

My pet hates are Little Donkey, It's Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas, I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas, Mary's Boy Child, and Mistletoe and Wine. Sorry. I must be a grouch. I prefer the standard carols, although the souped-up Jingle Bells with a colliery band is marvellous.
