Top Ten Christmas Songs that Encourage Violence

It all started with Jingle Bells. Who can ignore the inherently violent line, "What fun it is to ride and sing a slaying song tonight"?

10. the grade-school classic: "Joy to the School (the teacher's dead)"
09. I'm Gettin' Mutton For Christmas (Mutton is my poodle)
08. Ukrainian (Death) Knell Carol
07. Walkin' in A Winter Wonderland (& shootin' up the joint)
06. The German Hymn "Atomic Bomb" (Oh Tannenbaum)
05. Hack! The Herald Angels Sing (with your sharp-edged, pointy things)
04. Whack the Halls (& Smiths, & Williamses, & Guzmans, & . . .)
03. Little Gunner Boy (A-Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat)
02. Rub Out The Red-Nosed Reindeer
01. Santa Claus is Gunning You Down (From a Futurama Christmas episode)

Didn't make the cut: "The Twelve Slays of Christmas."
Reason: Sounded too much like a bad slasher film.
