So, for several years, my Local Country Radio Station would play this... dreadful song called "Six White Boomers". It did everything wrong; the song sounded horribly edited (the singer's voice would randomly change in the middle of a sentence), most of it was more spoken than sang, and it was just... just the worst goddamn thing ever.
And then, about two years ago, they stopped playing it. People would call in to request it, and they would be told 'no'. Because the guy who sang it, Rolf Harris, was arrested and convicted on twelve counts of "indecent assault" on four female victims between the ages of eight and nineteen. Basically, the radio station decided (rightfully so) that they didn't want to give the guy another cent of royalties, so they removed him from the winter playlist.
Of course, then they started playing more "Where Are You Christmas?" and "Christmas Shoes", so...

Speaking of pop punk, there was also that Red Sox Christmas song (written right after they won the world series in 2004) that I wont even link to, its that bad and would likely make you want to burn any Sox merch. I remember that piece of crap. If the band worked on that for more than 5 minutes before putting it out I'd be surprised. But for as bad as that was, for as much as I hate "Wonderful Christmastime", for as much as I despise "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer",, I would gladly listen to them 1000 times in a row if it meant I'd never have to listen to the f'n Christmas Shoes ever again.

"Here Comes Santa Claus" really sets me off.
...Especially when it's sung completely at random in the middle of August.

I have to defend Wonderful Christmastime....my nephew loved the video and song when he was younger.

Funky, Funky Christmas is the only Christmas song that I flat out hate. First of all, I hated the New Kids. Plus, the song sounds like their producer decided to record them just f***ing and call it a song. I thought that I would never hear this song again...
I don't really hate Christmas songs no matter how stupid or poorly sung they are. I'll get joy from mocking them MST3K style. BTW I've never listened to Christmas Shoes and I'm not going to either.

Pretty much all of them, except for three songs:
1. "I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas" by The Drifters (as heard during the film Home Alone)
2. "Hating You for Christmas" by Everclear
3. "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" by The Ramones

Actually, it's an alternate version of a Christmas song they did on their album:

I say this every year, but people seriously misunderstand what Baby It's Cold outside is about. The entire idea behind the song is that the woman wants to stay but is afraid of the societal pressure of a woman daring to be alone with a man, since it was written in the enlightened era of the 1940's I don't disagree with you, but it's one of those songs that has aged terribly with the changing times.

In the car with my mom, and everyone's favorite song just came on, aka Christmas Shoes One of my favorite stories about that is fellow retired mod Void's dad getting him and his mom to watch the movie, which they reluctantly agreed to. After a miserable viewing experience, the dad I think tried to talk them into watching I think "The Christmas Blessing" when they shot it down and declared enough enough. It's been years since he told me this story, and it's less memorable than how Mortal Kombat Annihilation could have killed him, so forgive me, Alucard , if I f***ed up the details. Yeah, I solidly said awwwww naw to watching the sequel to The Christmas Shoes. Just...no.

I also despise the Christmas Shoes song to no end. The Muppets version of 12 Days Of Christmas is also extremely unbearable.

This garbage should be considered torture: My significant other and her family listen to this thing CONSTANTLY around Christmas. I could never properly explain my hatred for it. It's just so very bad.

Speaking of I know Ertha Kitt hated Madonna's version of the song and felt she ruined it.
Which honestly... yeah most covers don't seem to have (or in some cases realize) the full tongue in cheek nature of the original.

His version of 'White Christmas' is the real atrocity.

oh and the 12 days of Christmas 1) There's only one day maybe two if you count eve. 2) Besides 5 rings, ladies dancing, and drummer's drumming assuming the drummers include the likes of Neal Peart, Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Chad Smith, Matt Cameron, Steven Adler, Lars Ulrich, Ringo Star, Tommy Lee, Tre Cool, Roger Taylor, and the ghost of Keith Moon, these gifts are the drizzling shits and sound like a nuisance with no room to put them all. So many f***ing birds which I assume will be flying and shitting all over the place. Why the f*** would I want maid's milking cows? Do I live on a f***ing ranch? What the f*** is a lord a' leaping? I don't want one let alone eleven.
