Not a Christmas song you say? Oh ho ho, add a little instrumental twist at the beginning and boom, Christmas song. Makes me want to rip my hair out.

Feliz Navidad by Jose Fellatio or some such. I think its the dudes voice that turns me into a Grinch. Like the Far Side cartoon, my own personal hell is going to be me locked in a sound room with this dudes anthology playing non-stop. The cat/dog xmas tunes. GAAA... Santa Clause is Comin' to Town by Bruce Springsteen (Live) ... they play this every hour. Sirius, 107.9, any non country station you listen to... makes wanna jerk the wheel into a Goddamn bridge abutment! Do They Know Its Christmas by Band Aid OY! that stinks. OH OH... there is a song I have not ever heard before having Sirius... Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey by Lou Monte. This is the WORST. If you haven't heard, then get on yer knees and give thanks. There are somethings you just can't Un-Hear and this is one of them. I love Xmas and I love the songs that go with it. They get me all warm and fuzzy inside and make me wanna have lots of family and friends around a lighted tree with a nice cup of hot buttered rum and snow outside. And when one of those special songs is followed by a terrible tune, it destroys that feeling and gets me insane. One song in particular gets me a gringin’ this time of year.

Anything Beach Boys, the NSync Christmas album (bear w/me, I have a pre-teen), "new" Christmas songs that are so remotely obscure and barely related to Christmas at all, Do you hear what I hear & A few of my favorite things. When did a song sung by a nanny to some overprivilaged Austrian kids become a Christmas song? Sorry to ramble on so...keep up the good work Jason!

Most definitely "Santa Baby" by Madonna and that "I want a hippopotamus for christmas" song. Oh and nothing puts me in the great Christmas mood like "So this is Christmas" by John Lennon. All three songs should be completely abolished as far as I'm concerned. Honerable mention goes to "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus". Worst Christmas Songs Ever?
