Here are the very worst non-traditional Christmas songs ever, in no particular order:
* "Same Old Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg
Ok, this song is on every single year at Christmas time, but the incident in question just takes place at Christmas at a grocery store. Apparently, he has the time to go out drinking with an old flame unbeknownst to her husband. Nice one, buddy. The lyrics are just crap.
* "The Christmas Shoes" - NewSong
Seriously, shoes for his dying mother? Does she have everything else? And of course, the kid is out on the street all alone. Maybe it's Maccauley Culkin.
* "Last Christmas" - Wham!
He gave away his heart last year, just to have it thrown away. But this year, he'll give it to someone special. Didn't he do that last year? And look what happened!
* "Grown Up Christmas List" - seemingly everyone...
Yes, it's so nice and selfless to ask for world peace and hunger to just vanish into the ether, but can't you do it with better lyrics? See John Lennon for tips.
* "Baby, it's Cold Outside" - specifically, the Brian Setzer version because it's especially creepy.
Ok, date rape is not cool. We can all agree. And basically, the female (in the sheet music, referred to as "the Mouse." The male is "The Wolf." What does THAT tell you!) wants to leave and the male attempts to talk her out of it, basically, refusing to take no for an answer.
To spare you, I'll not post mp3 links. Look 'em up yourself if you're curious.
