ghastly xmas songs meme

[fpb]

Having come back from shopping with a strong feeling that Xmas muzak ought to be made a crime, I want to get a little of my own back. Hence I invite all my friends and readers to mention the worst song they can think of - one or many, as many as you like - and a description of what the sentence on the criminals who wrote and/or performed it should be. Then copy this meme and post it on your own LJ.

I'll start:
Santa baby. Its authors and everyone who is so base of soul as to perform it should be forced to wear titanium steel chastity belts for the rest of their natural lives.
Wonderful Christmas time. Sir Paul McCartney should be forbidden from ever publishing any song again until, in the opinion of a jury of 200 music lovers chosen at random, he has produced at least two songs of the quality of Hey Jude or Fool on the Hill.

You and I are of the same mind, because those two songs immediately came to mind. Also, I agree with the above nomination of "Last Christmas," which I have been horrified to hear on the radio long AFTER Christmas. "Santa Baby" has to be the worst, in my opinion, because it is so crudely suggestive of everything opposite to what Christmas does/should represent.

Well, it is right to play Last Christmas away from the Christmas season, because it has practically nothing to do with Christmas. The same story could be told any day of the year. And I never did like Wham! nor George Michael on his own either.

Come now! Wham did such classics as... and there was... that was a band, right?

Many thanks for the laff. That's about how I feel about them.
