10 Christmas Songs That Make You Want To Blow Your Brains Out
Chances are, you've heard them all in the last fifteen minutes...
It's Christmassss! As Noddy Holder yells at us in Slade's Merry Xmas Everybody about 259 times this festive season. Wherever you go or whatever you do, you cannot avoid terrible Christmas music that although merry and joyful, will have the paradoxical effect of sending you into a deep depression. Whereas The Pogue's seminal classic "Fairytale of New York" manages to nail the fine line between "Christmas song" and "actual song," most holiday-themed tracks can't escape their gimmicky origins. Okay, so we can handle the likes of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," and "Jingle Bell Rock," but why in the name of all that is good are people still listening to Paul McCartney's Godawful "Wonderful Christmastime"? It's enough to make you want to blow your brains out. Good Christmas tunes are few and far between. Songs that were interesting 30 or so years ago have lost their impact due to over rotation. Some of them have gone beyond being merely boring to being down right torture to listen to, and this is where my list comes in. I have compiled for you the 10 most annoying Christmas songs that make you want to blow your head off. These songs are so excruciating, they deserve to end up in Room 101 - enough is enough! These songs are terrible and they partially ruin Christmas - they will have you heading for the liquor cabinet to polish off that bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream that has been lurking in the cabinet for over a decade. Prepare yourself to be enraged!
