12 Worst Christmas Songs: No. 11

'Wonderful Christmastime'
--Paul McCartney (1979)

Look, kids -- Daddy got a new synthesizer for Christmas! McCartney has reportedly renounced this creampuff in recent years, but the damage was already done. But you gotta give it to him: the old boy can write an irrepressible melody even when he sounds like he's puckered up from a half-dozen eggnogs.

Well....as soon as I got to the #2 worst song WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME...I knew I had to read no further. This song is one of the ALL TIME greats. How old is the author of this? 6?
If so....do your homework.

I can't believe this isn't number one. I started reading this list full of hope that it WOULD be #1. I'm already disappointed. The next ten better really be surprisingly bad.

I'm afraid I must agree with those who like this song. It's vastly underrated and pretty decent. I'll admit some of the lyrics are kinda cheesy and lame, but is that enough of a reason to label this as one of the worst Christmas songs of all time? I don't think so! And spinner.com, nothing against you or your lists, but I think that you should probably see what's really bad and what's not, and if you ask me, this song isn't a bad song at all, just an in-between song.

I agree with the other 11 picks, but this one by Macca should be on the Best list. The one I hate the most that should be on this list is "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" by Dr. Elmo.

I really like this song. Who cares about a synthesizer. Britney Spears is still on the charts and that's all she uses. Paul may have denounced it because it's so old, but I happen to love it.

Who is the asshole who put this on the worst list??? And it started out so well too by raking Madonna.
