The Worst Ever Christmas Songs...

Traditionally, Christmas is a time for giving and, apparently, it's also a time for recording some of the most annoying and horribly cheesy tunes ever to grace the airwaves:

Cliff Richard – ‘Mistletoe and Wine’
Fortunately, the family’s spending Christmas round ours this year, which means I’m not forced to endure my Auntie’s annoying obsession with Cliff Richard and ‘Mistletoe and Wine’. There’s not a lot to say other than this is the most infuriating Christmas song ever recorded. Well Cliff, I’ll never forgive you and it’s hard to forget 3 minutes of relentless, torturous, wet nostalgia.

The Wombats – ‘Is This Christmas’
As if the thought of Les Dennis attempting a career come-back wasn’t bad enough, the Wombats invite him to collaborate on a Christmas single. It’s the biggest fart of a Christmas song ever...so dreadful Jo Wiley might even play it. Hopefully she will though and thus irritate an unprecedented number of people and banish the Wombats to the celebrity graveyard inhabited by their fellow scouser. The video’s even worse; just the three of them; the Krusty-the-Clown-lookalike singer, the annoying bassist and the drummer yelping ‘Is This Christmas?’ Yes it is, now shut up.
