 | I was digging around, compiling a list for a Christmas song article I'm working on, when I came across this. A song that's been doing the rounds of the Internet for many years apparently, but I'd managed to miss so far. A ear-splittingly painful rendition of the classic hymn "O Holy Night", being utterly murdered. One of those things you listen to, and chuckle, sniggering at the bas singing. But then it builds, and gets worse, and worse, and soon it reaches torture levels of aural pain. |
| Many people had laid claim to having created this monstrosity. But it wasn't until 2009 that a mad called Steve Mauldin came forward saying that he had arranged “O Holy Night” for a church group in 1989. But the song was recorded at the end of a long session, and he never expected anyone to ever hear it apart from a few close friends. That's some admission, for a song that was voted the worst Christmas song of all time by listeners of a San Francisco radio for 12 years running. | |
