Sorry, I just hate that song.And whatever song George Strait sings in the little 30-second commercial promoting his new Christmas album. I forget the song (one of the classics, of course), but he just sings it verbatim, over and over. ay yi yi.

Take it back, there's one other version I like -- the Squirrels, in which they sing the lyrics to the music of America's "A Horse With No Name." Long story.

All Cliff Richard Xmas-themed hits, surely:Little Town - Twinkle twinkle little star NOW I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU ARE. Noel Edmonds loved it and thought it would be 1982's Xmas number one. It peaked at number eleven.Mistletoe And Wine - Christmas time! Drink driving fine! Children singing gies five Woodbine!Saviour's Day - and to think Justify My Love was at number two over Xmas; it's depressing.We Should Be Together - "I was ROBBED!

It is also in part a ripoff of Bill Barclay's "Twelve Days Of Christmas" which, if you were growing up in Glasgow throughout the '70s, was inescapable (Scotland's Xmas number one in 1974).

Yes, Frank Kelly's "Christmas Countdown" charted in '83, so it was in the charts at the same time as that other seasonal perennial, "What Are We Gonna Get For 'Er Indoors" by George Cole and Dennis Waterman.

Another punk rock Christmas record, this British EP from 1981 features four songs by four different bands, two of which are pop Christmas covers and the other two holiday chestnuts. The 4 Skins hype up Elton John's "Step Into Christmas" and the Business do a straight cover of Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody." If Irving Berlin thought Elvis ruined "White Christmas," The Gonads' version probably helped finish him off for good, and Max Splodge does a nearly incomprehensible "12 Days of Christmas" in which the lyrics are changed to... something else entirely, near as I can tell.

i was going to destroy that fucking annoying and ubiquitous slade one, the one which goes "so here it is merry xmas, everybody's having fun" even if NO ONE PATENTLY IS, entirely due to the ENFORCED JOLLITY of that dreadful tune, but k8 reminded me of:
Destroy destroy destroy the Paul McCartney "simply having a wonderful xmas time" song.
and that may be even worse.

Mistletoe & Wine has to be the winner, particularly for Cliff's dancing when singing, which involves him wildly swinging one of his arms and gesticualting. It brings to mind how I imagine Silvio Berlusconi in his cruise ship crooner days, except INFINITELY WORSE. (rant over).
