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.

Add me to the list of ‘Fairytale of New York’ haters. It’s always the one people name as their favourite to seem cool too. Yawn. Christmas songs aren’t supposed to be cool. They are meant to be cheesy, jangly and a bit tacky.

Band Aid - how utterly insulting to a whole continent of people.

Chris Rea....driving home for christmas....its shite.

The Bruce Springstein version of Santa Claus is coming to town... actually any version of that.

I was pleased when the Phil Spector Christmas songs fell out of favour a few years back.

I have fond memories of Mistletoe and Wine. Not for its musical qualities but because the year it came out, my beloved y3 teacher played it repeatedly while we did Christmas crafts. Blush Grin

Fairytale of New York - AKA the emperors new clothes of Xmas tunes.

Elton John - Step into Christmas. The most repetitive, annoying Christmas song ever.

The Band Aid song is also beyond patronising, I hate it.

My favourite is Wham! - Last Christmas.

In the bleak mid winter

Yes, I fucking know it is...it’s why I haul my sorry arse to somewhere hot three times over winter

WhirlwindHugs · 14/12/2018 13:01

Fairytale of new York too.

I actually don't mind the song as an artistic expression of how shit it is to have alcoholic family at Christmas... But its not uplifting or funny which lots of people weirdly seem to think it is.

I definitely don't want to be forced to listen to it endlessly.

When a child is born...fuck off!

Channeling my inner Kim Woodburn here.

Another vote here for Mariah fucking Carey and "All I want for Christmas is yoooooouuuuuuu..." I have to turn the radio off if it comes on, and have been known to walk out of shops if it starts to play. For Chrissake stop warbling, stop cramming unnecessary fucking notes into every fucking word and just SING the bloody thing!

...thanks, that feels better.

Stop the cavalry, it has absolutely nothing to do with xmas. Even the lyrics make it clear it is not xmas in the song!
