The Christmas song you can't stand

[RedAsABeetroot]

All of them except fairytale of New York. Its not like there ever seem to be any new ones added to the playlist. Come mid-November you know you're going to hear the same songs one after the other everywhere you go.
Bah humbug!

I love nearly all Christmas songs… but these really get up my nose

Fairytale in New York
Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters

Anything by Buble

Miserable sod, no wonder I've never had a pay rise in 5 years!

I hate pretty much all of them, some because they are dreadful and others through huge over-exposure. But Cliff Richard in particular has a special place at Satan's right hand.

I am a huge Beatles fan but I absolutely detest Wonderful Christmastime. Paul must have just known he could put only old ***** out at that stage and people would buy it for Christmas.

I agree: it's not worthy of his talent.

If all kids have come up with after a year of practice is "ding dong, ding dong, ding dong" they can't have practiced very hard. Pure doggerel.

I could happily live without hearing Slade, wizzard or the John Lennon dirge ever again, but McCartney one is particularly irksome.

I don't mind Fairytale of New York at all, and will listen to it at any time of year if I happen to have my Pogues albums on.

Stop the Cavelry by Jonah Lewie, does my head in!!

 

[Doom_On_Horseback]

Mariah Carey. Reminds me of the ex wife

Because of the physical resemblance or her warbling credentials. Need further info. Please!

 

[HarryVegas]

And seeing as Lennon has got a mention, who are "the yellow and red ones" to whom he blithely refers?

Nb This doesn't merit a reply and I take no responsibility for any following 'pc gorn maaad'-style debate.

Ah I don’t mind War Is Over. I quite like Fairytale of New York too.

Er....it was the early 70s.

 

[atypical_boro]

I thought War Is Over was 1980 but actually Just realised it must have been 75 when Nam Ended.

Er....it was the early 70s.

 

[HarryVegas]

Earlier than that too. It was a wish.

I used to loathe them all after a few Christmases of retail work when I was younger.

Same conditions that forced me into my christmas fetish for more obscure stuff!

Fair enough. Way over my head then!

 

[BoroFur]

The fact theyve had to re-record this song with new lyrics makes my pi$$ boil i guess it was that or lose the royalties?

You do know Kirsty MacColl is dead?
