What is the Christmas song that makes you want to pull a Van Gogh and cut your ear(s) off?

For me, the top of the list has to be “Merry Christmas/War is Over” by Lennon. A close second is “Santa Baby.”

Good calls. Those are a respectable 1.A and 1.B on a list that stretches a long way.

Idk about Xmas songs but that stupid fuckin shallow song is easily the most annoyingly simplistic, dumb, annoying song that people take serious. I hate most Gaga songs but that one fills me with rage

Are we supposed to look in the mirror and cry listening to that song? Burn our Christmas trees?

Santa Baby is a good pick. The original by Eartha Kit is annoying, but it's gets exponentially worse every time some new pop star covers it. Madonna's version moves me to violence.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is also a good pick due to its ubiquity. It's one of the "loudest" songs I've ever heard, regardless of volume, because it somehow cuts through everything else. Crazy how much money she's made off it.

But to stay on brand, I'm going to have to go with "Mary Did You Know?" Yes, she knew; GTFO with this Protestant nonsense.

The 12 Days of Christmas is the hands down winner

Someone karaoke’d the hippopotamus song in front of 2k corporate associates at our quarterly meeting a few weeks back. The cringe was palpable.

Y'all ragging on the Mariah Carey are just haters. That song is pure joy. Top five Christmas song.

Hippopotamus and Grandma Got Run Over are just silly. Do They Know It's Christmas is treacly pop bullshit. Wonderful Christmastime is maybe even worse.

Honestly the bottom rung is the new wave of PC renditions of Baby It's Cold Outside, which is a weird, creepy song that should just be relegated to the dustbin of history, but instead these well-meaning efforts to render it less sex-predatory by emphasizing consent are actually just making it all so much weirder. It's almost as bad as cancelling the Fairytale of New York because an Irish punk from the early 80s used the word faggot.

Blue Christmas by Elvis is one that irritates me to no end. Every time I hear it, I want to kick him in the throat. That stupid Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas" song makes me want to choke her fat ass. Seriously, I hate about 99% of the celebrity Christmas songs.

Thank you.

Funky Funky Christmas is the worst Christmas song I've ever heard.

Christmas songs are melodic. Funky Funky Christmas is completely amelodic. And my wife loves it because she grew up a NKOB fan. So I have to listen to this song multiple times a year. And it's terrible.
