Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (The Complete Movie)

Around Christmas, it’s not uncommon to be bombarded with Christmas specials and Christmas movies on TV. Well, we’re no different here at Lowdown HQ. But instead of bombarding you with a classic Christmas movie today, we’re going to treat you to one of the worst Christmas movies of all-time.

Normally, anything that reduces the airtime that’s given to the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, David Guetta and Pitbull would be a good thing. However, not all Christmas music is worth listening too. And that includes this classic song that wins a Christmas Worst of Music. It’s the Spike Jones Christmas classic All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. Continue reading →

With all due respect to the folks at Mashup-Germany, their mashup of the top songs of 2011 is tailor-made for our weekly Worst of Music post. It’s not really of their doing, though. They did the best they could with the source material. And that source material included ten previous Worst of Music award winners. Hit the jump for the first of many year-end song mashups.
