    All Christmas songs suck. Especially since they've been playing them since before Thanksgiving.

    LOL! It may very well be the worst Christmas song ever, but I think some of the recent versions have made it worse. Then again, the original......so 1980's....*shudders*

    Disagree. "Baby, it's cold outside" is the worst Christmas song ever. And possibly just the worst song ever. It's annoying and really creepy.

    What?! You don't like a song about a date rape in progress? :tongue:

    Seriously though, that song is SO WRONG.

    No way.

    Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime makes me want to shove hot pokers in my ears.

    It makes me really happy that I'm not the only one who despises Christmas music. I get called such a Grinch/Scrooge/etc for it.

    I can't friggen stand Bing Crosby and that low, shaky voice. Take your white Christmas and shove it in a dark place.

    But seriously I've had enough of all of them. Santa Baby was blasting through a cheap speaker when I was getting gas the other night. I had to yell, "can we can it with the Christmas crap already??"

    Yes, gotta love a little forced lovin around the holidays... at least he was offering her a couple drinks and a smoke.

    AND the worst Christmas song... John Lennon - Happy Xmas (war is over) makes me want to kill myself.

    You all are right. My sister calls that "the rape song" Ugh..plus I heard one version in a song one day, and at the end he's all like, "but if you go outside you'll get pneumonia and die". I don't know if that's in all versions, but he sings that all happily, and then it goes off. WTF. That song is really the worst.

    I agree that song is awful......and the Paul McCartney song....and Baby it's Cold Outside....and Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.....and if I hear any more about little girls wanting hippos for Christmas or Chipmunks just wanting hoola hoops, I'm going to jump off something high!!!!

    I LOVE IT and I love George Michael. I also love SANTA BABY. Diversity of thought and taste make this world a better place. I don't have to like everything everyone else does. My least favorite holiday song would probably be the one Adam Sandler did -- can't remember the name or Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

    Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is the best Christmas song. The violence helps convey my feelings when my family inevitably tortures me with Christmas music.

    For me, the worst thing about 'Baby It's Cold Outside' is that they sing over the top of each other. Being somewhat of a musician, that's really annoying. One thought at a time please. And stop interrupting me.

    There are so many awful things about that song. Their voices really make me want to hurl.

    I don't think it is terrible. Taylor Swift's cover is A LOT worse! Also, if you hear some of the garbage christmas music they play where I work "Last Christmas" would be a welcome reprieve for your ears!

    I LOVE that song. Last Christmas is in my top 5 favorite Christmas songs.

    The best songs are all punk remakes like Oi To The World.

    It's actually about Hanukkah since he's Jewish...

    Taylor Swift is terrible in general. So I believe it. And I will not listen to it.

    This or "I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus". Always disliked the drummer boy one too. Bah Humbug!

    I really like the style of "Baby It's Cold Outside" and I think the overlapping lines between the male and female singers is pretty clever - but I absolutely cannot and will not deny the amount of creepy. There are moments in the song where it seems like she's kind of into the flirting but then he starts trying for something more. Persistence isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the fact that she repeatedly says "no" and also says "what's in this drink?" kills the potential charm. I recently read that, on top of all the rapey banter in the song (can I say "rapey" on MFP?), the sheet music lists the male part as "wolf" and the female part as "mouse"...which is also creepy.

    I've never heard "I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus," but I also dislike the drummer boy one. As a child, it gave me nightmares...I don't know why, exactly, but there's something in the music that gives me a weird feeling. I also tend to dislike Christmas music from the TV show Glee and country-flavored Christmas music (such as that version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus")... but I do like Vince Vance and the Valiants' "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

    I think I need to look up Muppets Christmas music. Their cover/parody of Bohemian Rhapsody was really entertaining (and I'm a hardcore Queen fan), so I think if they did Christmas music, it could be a serious improvement over some of the Christmas songs that get played.
