12 Worst Christmas Songs: No. 2

'Please, Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)'
--John Denver (1975)

The late Rocky Mountain troubadour sometimes introduced this song as a funny little ditty that took on more serious overtones over time. It's hard to see what could have been funny about a seven-year-old pleading with Daddy not to pass out under the tree. Not when you consider that Denver had two DUI arrests before his death in 1997.

I was the kid in the song. You must have experienced that moment as a kid to have anything to say. True song. It is like he was looking in the window of my home life when he wrote it. Good song. But it brings back bad memories. I won't let it wreck my Christmas's.
