There are so many wonderful holiday songs, but there are also a number of terrible ones.

You know the ones that come on the 24 hour Christmas station over and over again until you want to smash your car into a concrete wall?
Here’s a look at the Top 10 Worst Christmas songs, as chosen by ME.

10. Jose Feliciano ” Feliz Navidad” –

I like this song about the first ten times I hear it a year.  But can you say over-played?  Also, I hate when us english-speaking folks just make up our own lyrics since we have no idea how to really pronounce anything.

9. Gayla Peevey “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” –

Kids should never be allowed to sing Christmas songs.  Especially stupid ones.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas – one of the WORST holiday songs!

8. The Carpenters “Merry Christmas, Darling” –

This song should win the award for the most depressing Christmas song around.  Not only is the tempo terrible, but the words just don’t match the music.  It’s supposed to be a love song, not a funeral march.

7.  KT Tunstall “Mele Kalikimaka” –

Way to take my favorite holiday song ever and ruin it.  With a kazoo.  Who the hell puts a whole band of kazoo’s in a Christmas song?? Especially one from Hawaii?

6.  Cyndi Lauper, “Christmas Conga” –

Conga and Christmas should NEVER go together.  Actual lyrics include, “Bonga, bonga, bonga, do the Christmas conga!”   That just doesn’t need to be a thing.

5.  John Denver, “Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas)”

There are no words.

4.  New Song, “The Christmas Shoes” –

This is the only movie I really hate Rob Lowe for doing.  The song is just as bad.

3.   Band Aid, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”  –

It started off as a fundraiser for famine in Ethiopia.  The spirit is right, but the song is so wrong.  And overplayed- really, really, really overplayed during the holiday season.

2.  “Mary Did you Know?” –

I’m not sure which is the worse version of this song.  The Clay Aiken song just makes me laugh. The Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd version just make me want to hate all country music songs.

1.   Paul McCartney “Wonderful Christmastime”  –

This is an embarrassment to music and frankly, makes me violent.  This song is so super cheese.  The overproduced synthesizer just makes my blood boil.

What are some of your least favorite holiday songs??
