As much as I love Tran-Siberian Orchestra, sorry to say but Christmas Canon is turning into one of those overplayed songs on those 24/7 Christmas radio stations.

Holiday Songs That Belong on Santa's Naughty List
Posted on Dec 1st 2011
by Sarah Chazan


'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'






Has anyone ever taken a close listen to the lyrics of this age-old song? They're TERRIBLE!

Who thinks singing about a grandmother being violently killed by wildlife is any way to get into the holiday spirit?!

In fact, we're surprised grannies across the globe haven't attempted to get this horrid tune banned from the radio waves.









'Dogs Barking Jingle Bells'





If you've ever lived next door to a dog who never.stopped.barking, then you know just how annoying it is.

With that being said, why would anyone think that irritating sound who make for a great holiday tune? 30 seconds into this Christmas catastrophe and we begin begging for a muzzle.









'Dominick the Donkey'






If Italian-Americans are offended by "Jersey Shore", this song should really put them through the roof. Besides being borderline racist in its stereotyping, the song is just annoying.

And if you're a fan of the New York Mets, then you know that they inexplicably play this grating tune during their home games. Talk about extending a holiday horror all year round!











'Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)'






This song reeks of "somebody needed a paycheck."

How else can you explain the hastily thrown together melody, the flat lyrics and, oh yeah, the fact they tried to save the whole thing by having Alvin and the Chipmunks sing it.









New Kids on the Block's 'Funky Funky Christmas'






You may have loved this song back when you were 11, but take a listen now.

Donnie Wahlberg impersonating Santa Claus, Jordan Knight rapping, Joey McIntyre putting on a faux British accent ... it's just a world on wrong. In fact, in may make your Christmas funky -- in a BAD way!









'All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth'






We believe this tune was created for no other reason than to give grandfathers something annoying to sing at their grandchildren when they lose their two front teeth.

OK, that may be a personal over-share on our part, but still, the song is lame. We dare you to try getting through the entire video above -- it's physically impossible!









'The Dreidel Song'






You don't get off that easy, Jewish friends.

Sadly, Chanukah has a song just as horrid as its Christmas counterparts. There's, like, one lyric in this entire tune, repeated over ... and over ... and over again.

It's enough to take the joy out of playing the Dreidel game!









'I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas'






This song could land on the list just for having the word 'nuttin' in its title, but the tune's horrible subject matter makes it twice as bad.

With lyrics like "I put a tack on teacher's chair/Somebody snitched on me./I tied a knot in Susie's hair/Somebody snitched on me," all you're getting is a reminder of the bratty cousins you'll have to deal with at this year's family holiday gathering!

Despite my intense hatred for anything having to do with AOL, they may finally have posted something I can agree with.

And this song was the competition....

Another song belongs here The Christmas Shoes. It puts me in a diabetic coma

[comedyfreak]

I like all the old classics sung by the legends like Bing Crosby, Mel Torme', Frank Sinatra, Eddie Arnold, Judy Garland etc.

[Torgo]

Besides the old classics, my favorite Christmas song is The Pogues' Fairytale of New York.

I must disagree with a few and add a few that are more lame....

Bing Crosby and David Bowie? Nah, no one can do that song justice after a 12-year-old Michael Jackson sang it.

[Penny Lane]

Referring to Phil Spector's Christmas Album which is great and a very popular album. Darlene Love stated that none of the artists received a dime from that album! That's just incredible!

Another reason why Spector may not be seen again.

Back on subject, here's 3 more songs I like....



This is recorded from TV.

That's true it is being overplayed, but it's still a pretty song.

[Schmoopie]

I tend to like the less popular songs the most, so here is a clip of my favorite of all.

It's done by a girls choir in Oslo and was featured in Rick Steves European Christmas.
