what? this thread is about stereotypically bad song. How is this a bad song?
It's probably not that bad, but, like all Christmas songs, it just gets a little tiresome when played over and over again. But, you're right, it doesn't get as tiresome as many other holiday tunes, and, it's certainly not in the same category as, say, "Little Drummer Boy", which is saccharine and awful right from the first "rum-pa-pum-pum". Actually, quite a few of the songs people are posting aren't terrible at all, just embarrassing for anyone over 13 to admit to liking ("Party in the USA"), or overplayed ("Someone Like You" -- the Adele song, not the Rod Stewart song), or great instrumentally, but with truly awful lyrics ("Papa Was a Rolling Stone"), or -- vice-versa -- just meh instrumentally, but with clever lyrics ("Teen-Age Dream" or "Last Friday Night").
