FROM FAB TO BAD AND THE #1 WORST HOLIDAY SONG

#2: "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney. This guy was a Beatle. Sgt. Pepper. Hey, Jude. Ok? He's a legend. SIR PAUL. And THIS is his answer to John Lennon's "Happy Christmas"? Only saving grace is that he looks so cute. As bad as this song is--and it is horrible--there is one which is even worse. Yes, the only thing worse than a treacly holiday song from legendary rocker Paul McCartney would be...

#1: "It Must Be Santa" by Bob Dylan. This wins top honors for the Worst Christmas Song Ever. Here is the poet of a generation, a man who has inspired so many musicians, giving us some weird polka. The song begins, "Who's got a beard that's long and white?" and goes downhill from there. At first, I'm thinking, "Ok, it's Dylan, he's having a laugh." I told myself to keep watching and I'm sure I'd eventually unlock the answer to this mysterious piece of tripe. But then, near the end of the song, some guy starts breaking glassware and throws himself through a window, and I realized the answer, my friend, ain't blowin' in the wind.
