Worst Christmas Song Ever?

[kniteracy]

Lightly discussing terrible Christmas music with autographedcat, I presented my personal 'holiday hell' song. This was on a Christmas album my mother used to play. It included things like Aretha Franklin singing "Walking in a Winter Wonderland", and this monstrosity, "That Holiday Feeling", a duet between Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. She sang the first line of every verse, and then they'd trade.

Alas, I have not been able to find an mp3 of this anywhere, so I'll offer some prize or other to the person who can supply me with audio. ;-)

The album, if I remember correctly, also featured Gary Puckett singing "O Holy Night".



That Holiday Feeling
Words and Music by Bill Jacob and Patty Jacob
Appears on That Holiday Feeling

Look how the snow is snowing
Your eyes are soft and glowing
Jack Frost is nipping at our feet
I'll bet your lips are warm and sweet
We've got that holiday feeling
That happy holiday feeling
Let's roast chestnuts by the fire
Any little thing you desire

Those reindeer soon will be here
Won't mean a thing to me dear
When Santa Claus begins his flight
I hope he gets a flat tonight
We've got that holiday feeling
That happy holiday feeling
Our favorite holiday of the year

I better leave
It's been so lovely like this
A chance I'd never miss
But it's so late

On New Years Eve
At twelve o'clock we'll stop to kiss
And while the whole world will be whistle blowing
We will still be mistletoe-ing

You think you're such a smarty
Come on let's have a party
I know what's running through your mind
This is the season to be kind
We've got that holiday feeling
That happy holiday feeling

So come and snuggle close to me
Right here where you're supposed to be
Let's kiss, 'cause it's the season, dear
Let's kiss, who needs a reason, dear
We've got that holiday feeling now


What's your Worst Christmas Song Ever?

I am very glad that I have never heard of that before (nor many of the others mentioned here).
Until I met those, I think that despite the horrors of "Jingle bell rock", my most hated Christmas song was "Mistletoe and wine". I'm not quite sure why, but possibly because it's so moronically simple, in both lyrics and tune, that it comes across as condescending to the listener.

I have never heard of "Mistletoe and Wine", but it has its own entry in Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistletoe_and_Wine) so it must be important.

I did read the lyrics, (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cliff+richard/mistletoe+wine_20032189.html) though. Aie.
