4. Frank Sinatra’s “The Christmas Waltz”

Didn’t this guy die like 10 years ago? Whatever.

Shitty Christmas music makes Santa mad. Hey, the guy’s gotta drive ’round the whole world and the last thing he wants on such a long road trip is crappy tunes. And that means all the CDs he throws out of his sleigh end up falling down your chimney. Which explains all those Cure albums you got last year.

Here are the ten worst Christmas songs ever.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000

10. Fred Figglehorn’s “Christmas Is Creepy”
Christmas is creepy? How ’bout a grown man still pretending to be a six year old?

9. Bob Dylan’s “Must Be Santa”
Props for giving a Christian-based song a Jewish klezmer feel, but you’d think one of the best songwriters music has ever produced could have came up with some better lyrics than “Who’s got a beard/That’s long and white? … Who comes around/On a special night? …Special night/Beard that’s white/Must be Santa/Santa Claus.”
