Top Ten Worst Christmas Songs of all time! A Clickbait Music Cringe Extravaganza Playlist From Hell!

in the spirit of giving I've decided to focus my considerable musical prowess on the task of curating a truly abysmal Christmas playlist for you all this is something I've been a fan of doing for awhile finding those hidden gems those ill-advised and usually forgotten Christmas Cashion's by famous musicians or bands and because I couldn't resist I've also thrown in a few very famous ones that just personally get my goat now I originally wanted this video to be based on compositional technique where I tried to identify the sorts of musical elements that typify a classic Christmas song but I just got nowhere with it because the answer can be summarized in one sentence just add sleigh bells and say the word Christmas do that and it doesn't matter what style your musics in you're there even if your helmet lock inment ristmas and since we're engaging with the lowest common denominator here let's do this in the style of a WatchMojo video it's the most wonderful time of the year you're watching tanta crew and now it's time for the top 10 most abysmal Christmas songs by musicians who should probably have known better listen now and let a Christmas chill creep into your bones at number 10 it's back whoo right around the time he released the excellent odelay in 1996 also decided to turn out this insultingly lazy version of the little drummer boy [Music] so there really shouldn't be any more debate about this especially now that a consensus has been reached by 97% of the world's scientists and they've concluded that the little drummer boy is the worst traditional Christmas song and the only reason people covered is to annoy other people and now from someone who should know better to someone who's never been better than anyone it's Bon Jovi with the miserable cover of backdoor Santa [Music] nothing says processed cheese like the combination of Bon Jovi's voice a torturously overused blues riff and that nasty 80s guitar sound [Music] I really think that this song should be incorporated into the Turing test because any listener who claims to enjoy it is definitely a machine and in a similar vein here's number eight oh look it's Twisted Sister doing oh come all ye faithful oh man fashions have changed I really don't think this needs much commentary it's just it's just one of those things you have to accept it also feels decidedly off in some way the idea seems to be that this lady is upset because I mean wouldn't you be if Twisted Sister showed up in your living room and then of course she begins to get into it and then oh look she's dancing around with the rest of them how transgressive that's it I'm gonna draw a dirty word in my maths book okay number seven this one's amazing and I'm cheating a bit because it's also pretty famous now if you don't know it which for those on the European side is much more likely I prefer to avoid giving you any context because I really think it's best experienced that way just know that it's called Christmas shoes by a band called nous somme [Music] it's Christmassy now you might be asking yourself the why what wha what is that Rob Lowe is this a movie or an SNL skit or something and the answer is just let it be let Christmas choose be Christmas shoes accept it into your heart and then go to the doctor because your heart now has cancer and can I now direct your attention to this creepy creepy line [Music] I want her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus tonight that that's either really bleak or really sacrilegious and sleazy yeah can I also get a pair of latex gloves my dad's going out to meet Mary Magdalene later okay I think I'm losing the WatchMojo feel here let's just move on and number six it's Ghostface Killah with this song Xmas a mesmerizing clash between substance and style there's really not much to say about this one it's just so sentimental yet so forceful I just have one question Ghostface Killah who's your audience here okay so I'm sorry that the USA has pretty much dominated this list the UK obviously has some awful ones too and here's an example it's a duo called the cheeky girl [Music] so the Cheeky Girls came to national attention after a fairly ugly episode on the UK's version of the pop stars franchise and then during their second audition fellow countryman Louis Walsh asked this respectful question Wow and you definitely yeah being from Transylvania you know Transylvania trance and off the back of this unpleasantness as per the standard pop idol strategy they released a Christmas single [Music] the whole thing is just a miserable fable from the early 2000s okay we're really edging into the thorns here did you realize that not only is there a Star Wars Christmas special TV show but also a Star Wars Christmas album released in 1980 and from it there's only one song I'd consider taking for number four it's or 2d - we wish you a Merry Christmas [Music] now this is obviously a very special Christmas moment not only because the actor Anthony Daniels reprises his role as c-3po but also because the famed sound designer ben burtt provided the voice for 2d - but the real treat is the identity of that singer who is he who owns that sweet generic plastic cheese voice hold on plastic cheese it can't be it is it's Bon Jovi again it's a twenty-year-old Bon Jovi struggling to get his big break back when he was called John Francis Bongiovi jr. he just can't leave Christmas alone but we're still not there there's three left I'm sorry I'm I'm really sorry this was a terrible idea did you know that Bob Dylan has a Christmas album yet another one of his baffling artistic choices over the last 20 years although as bad as this is it'll never be as bad as scratch that nothing will ever be as bad as his movie masked and anonymous he almost have to feel sorry for poor old Bob at this point as he tries to marshal his wretched vocal cords one more time to produce a few asphyxiated festive gasps now I'm not a raging fan of Bob Dylan but I do like some of his music but this next one is a different story because now we're dealing with someone who's written a few albums that I actually love Bing Crosby yeah right I'm talking about David Bowie you ever listened to any of the older fellas oh yeah sure I like John Lennon Oh guys are guys you're off to a bad start just bend the script and walk away do you do you like modern music oh I think it's marvelous some of it really fine I wonder if Bing likes helmet luck and man Christmas so they warble on a little bit longer and Bing asks what Christmas is like at the Bowie household presents tree decorations are you sliding down a chimney but I was just seeing if you're paying attention agents sliding down the chimney what I was just seeing if you pay attention huh and then of course they they get started [Music] no this again the worst one but David just can't sing it normally he has to add an extra layer of horrible [Music] there's really some dodgy parts to it like what's going on here [Music] you guys probably should have gone over that bit maybe a few more times anyway it's time for number one and it's not number one because it's the worst it's number one because I just can't believe it exists it's Smashing Pumpkins with Christmas time and I want to give a very special shout out to whoever it was who put together this inspired artwork [Applause] now it turns out that this might not be the last we hear of Billy Corgan being festive because just over a month ago in an interview with USA Today he floated the idea of recording an entire Christmas album surprising considering his belief that God is empty can you imagine that a full Christmas album okay I'll tell you what I'll buy it but on two conditions one that you hire whoever it was who made this to do the album artwork and to that Bon Jovi gets to be on it and with that undone did you agree with my list what do you think should have made the cut for more top ten lists published every day make sure to subscribe and ring the bell even though that's not true I'm never doing this again unless Billy the balls in your court if you like my diatribe subscribe
