1994's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey?

Definitely. The other day at IKEA they were playing just that song in numerous covers. It was sickening.

Not one other song has entered the pantheon in the past 22 years?

Believe by Josh Groban for a The Polar Express?

Thank goodness the song from the Jim Carey Grinch movie has faded to obscurity.

I don't know either of them.

The Mariah Carey song is obviously the big one.

A personal favorite of mine, though, is "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues.

That one is older than MC's.

I wouldn't pick up on that one if I heard it on the mall christmas music loop, very mushy generic Broadway style to my ear. I don't remember it from the movie either.

I never connected with this one either, I always think it's Tom Waits at first, and then the christmas lyrics seem out of place.

BTW, has anyone seen the documentary 'Jingle Bells Rocks' about the worst christmas songs - it's worth watching if you have the opportunity.

"Don't Shoot Me Santa" by The Killers.

I'd post a video if I could.

Mariah's.

Yeah, Mariah's gets the most airplay out of any Christmas song every holiday season.

Interesting, happens to be my gf's favorite song.

I like Last Christmas the most.

Mariah Carey is all around the most played song everywhere without doubt.

Mariah's song is actually good, that's why.

How about the Crazy Frog's Christmas Song?

Doesn't Crazy Frog just do cover songs?




(BTW, I never noticed that Crazy Frog is anatomically correct - well, except for the fact that frogs don't have penises.

Britney's "My Only Wish (This Year)"? I've heard it every year at some point in the past few years.

Yeah this and Great Big Sled are awesome.

But the answer to this thread is All I want for Christmas.

I think I prefer the slow burn of Boots the most out of all The Killers Xmas singles.
