The Most Annoying Holiday Song Ever
Still accepting nominees. Making the cut so far:
*"So This Is Christmas," John and Yoko
*"Simply Have a Wonderful Christmastime," Paul McCartney
*"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Brenda Lee
*"Jingle Bells," Barbra Streisand
*Anything by Manheim Steamroller
*"Hanukkah Song," Adam Sandler
*"Kwanzaa Is Here," Greta Pedersen
*"Baby It's Cold Outside," Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson
*"Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays," *NSYNC
I have to suggest the obvious: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer...and there is this awful, glurgy one by some country guy about giving a little kid in a store some money to buy a pair of shoes for the kid's dying mother to wear so she'll look pretty when she meets Jesus tonight..have no idea what the song title or name of the "artist" is...but someone will!

I had totally forgotten this song - until some bad karma pbviously came back to bite me in my Christmas ass:
Jingle Bell Rock by Hall & Oates

Manheim Steamroller is awesome you guys! If it were up to me, I would be torn between Lennon's and McCartney's eardrum rupturing pieces. They are truly horrid.
'Happy Holidays' (merry bells keep ringing, happy holidays to you...), specifically the Barnes and Noble cover version is a close runner up. I was tormented by it when I worked there Christmas 04. No idea who the singer was, but it sounded like the last song sung at a budget lounge on a night when no body was in town. The cover was probably meant for Halloween...
