Web Exclusive: Worst Holiday Tunes

December 25th, 2007 · No Comments

As a final list of holiday tunes, I thought I’d share my list of the worst holiday tunes.

“All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth” by Spike Jones
Like the Chipmunks, this song is just irritating. Plus, all the kid wants is his two front teeth? He doesn’t want a Wii or something? Not even believable.

“Away in a Manger” by KC and the Sunshine Band
You’re perhaps thinking, they made this into a disco song? I wish. Maybe it would have been better than hearing Harry Wayne Casey (yeah, that’s KC) try to croon out this tune.

Those chipmunk voices are just horribly, terribly irritating. What can I say?

“Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” by Elmo & Patsy
You know what’s even worse than this utterly ridiculous song? They made an animated TV special out of this. Seriously. It’s among the worst things I’ve ever watched.

“The Happy Elf” by Harry Connick Jr.
Connick is a great artist. This is a crappy song. Happy elf? Give me a break.

“The Mistletoe Jam” by Luther Vandross
Y’all know I love me some Luther, but toe and jam should never be combined in a holiday song—or any song. And the ridiculous banter at the beginning of the song is horrendous. Luther, I’m so disappointed.brady.jpg

“O Holy Night” by The Brady Bunch.
Really, you could pick about any song on the painful holiday album Christmas With The Brady Bunch, but this is a tough song for anybody to sing, let alone Greg Brady.redneck.jpg

“Redneck 12 Days of Christmas” by Jeff Foxworthy
As if the real “Twelve Days of Christmas” wasn’t bad enough. Rastlin’ tickets? Cans of Spam? I can’t take it.

“Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin” by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Skynyrd. Real Skynyrd: pre-1978. This bunch that continues to carry the Skynyrd name, though, Lord I wish they’d just stop. Somewhere around 2000 they released a holiday album and I don’t want to hear about Santa Claus needin’ some lovin’. Ewww.

“Together We Can Make a Merry Christmas” by Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello
So the lyrics actually have this duo, that should have stuck with bad beach movies, whipping up a merry Christmas as if it were some kind of recipe. Plus it has kids singing. It’s recipe for disaster is what it is!
