What Christmas song do you really dislike?

Now the Xmas songs are out in full force, I’m reminded of the ones I totally hate.

Destiny’s Child “Doesn’t It Feel Like Christmas”; so smug and grabby. Shame they need thousands of $ spending on them to enjoy the festive periodHmm

Also, that pervy Love Actually version of Love is All Around, with Bill somebody or other sliming all over the Santa-esque ladies.

Sorry just to expand, the way Beyonce sings “my baby gave to me” and pronounces it “my baby gay-a me”. Grrr

East17 stay another day, worst ever Xmas song. Not remotely Christmassy

Agustarella · 02/12/2018 17:11

Mistletoe and Wine. Cringe!

Hmm yes, Cliff Richard’s Xmas offerings🤣 ....
See also Michael Buble and his odd snow-kicking, arse-shinmying Xmas videos.

I’m with you Troy - last Christmas always sends me into a Christmas depression for various reasons

ProfessionallyUnoffended · 02/12/2018 17:20

Stop the Calvary. Don't know why but I just hate it!

icebearforpresident · 02/12/2018 17:22

John & Yoko - war is over.

The o lot Christmas song I actually like is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. The rest I just tolerate.

icebearforpresident · 02/12/2018 17:22

*only, not o lot!

BumDisease · 02/12/2018 17:22

I fucking hate Fairytale of New York!

missyB1 · 02/12/2018 17:23

Fairytale of New York - mainly because it’s been so overplayed, it’s ruined for me.

Definitely mistletoe and wine.
Shakin Stevens merry Christmas everyone

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 02/12/2018 17:23

Live Aid and John Lennon Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Both so so dreary

starkid · 02/12/2018 17:25

Out of the well-known ones churned out every year:
Cliff Richard - Saviours Day/Mistletoe & Wine/The Millennium Prayer
Paul McCartney -Wonderful Christmastime
Cheeky Girls- Have a cheeky Christmas
Band Aid 2014

Justmuddlingalong · 02/12/2018 17:25

Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas. Ffs. Every note there is in every word.

starkid · 02/12/2018 17:26

@missyB1 - The Shakin Stevens one is probably one of my favourites Grin

Stacie84 · 02/12/2018 17:26

Hate Fairy tale of New York. Every little bit of that song annoys me

missyB1 · 02/12/2018 17:27

God yeah anything by Paul Mcartney or Mariah Carey both of them make me heave!

iklboo · 02/12/2018 17:27

Mariah Carey. Makes me shudder.

Tony2 · 02/12/2018 17:28

McCartney wasn't it, simply, having, a wonderful Christmas time. Yuck.

Jojoanna · 02/12/2018 17:29

Fairy tale of New York !!

ColinsVeryJolly · 02/12/2018 17:30

The pretenders, 2000 miles
East 17, stay another day
And the Love actually Xmas is all around us one, are the only Xmas songs I hate. I love ALL the others!

Also, although I love to sing along to it, Baby It’s Cold Outside. Talk about pushy. He openly spikes her drinkHmm
