Everyone probably has one that does their head in when they hear it?

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day is one I find annoying when it comes on.

Last Christmas by Wham

AdoptedBumpkin · 23/12/2021 15:55

Can't think of any off the top of my head - but I could live without ever hearing "All I want for Christmas..."

ALongHardWinter · 23/12/2021 15:56

That Paul McCartney one. Wonderful Christmas Time I think it's called.

DaisyWaldron · 23/12/2021 15:57

Michael Bublé's "no homo" cover version of Santa Baby. I am generally seething with rage by the end of the first verse.

The new Ed / Elton one. Including the video!

The Tom Jones and Thingymajig one. Baby it's cold outside. always creeped me out.

Fatgalslim · 23/12/2021 15:58

All I want for Christmas - Mariah
Mistletoe & Wine - Cliff
and the annoying Slade one

Don't mind it too much, but it's bland.
TheShadoutCrepes · 23/12/2021 15:58

Pretty much anything written after about 1800, although Fairy Tale of New York is the absolute pinnacle of appalling Christmas music.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/12/2021 15:58

"Howd'ya like to spend Chriiiiiiiiistmas, on Christmas Iiiiiiiiiiisland?"

A quarter century ago I worked in a gift shop in the Christmas holidays and had to listen to this song 107,000 times. I didn't like it the first time.

GTAlogic · 23/12/2021 16:00

That one by Coldplay. I find it depressing. I don't like Have Yourselves A Very Merry Christmas or Santa Baby or Wonderful Christmas Time.

SockFluffInTheBath · 23/12/2021 16:00

‘Baby it’s cold outside’ is just sleazy. I hate the shouty Slade one as well. And ‘Santa baby’ ffs just get a job you freeloading tart.

Nothing like a bit of lighthearted Christmas music Xmas Grin

Adventsquirrel · 23/12/2021 16:01

Do they know it's Christmas? So patronising and misguided.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 23/12/2021 16:01

That one by Coldplay. I find it depressing.

I quite like that one!

Adventsquirrel · 23/12/2021 16:01

Oh and anything by Cliff Richard

TheSpiral · 23/12/2021 16:01

One More Sleep by Leona Lewis, which is bad luck on me because Heart (which the kids like to listen to) has it on repeat alongside Kelly Clarkson and Mariah Carey (I quite like the Kelly Clarkson one , I could live without ever hearing Carey again).

Here Comes the Cavalry. When that jaunty “dum dum dum dum” comes on at the start I want to gouge my eardrums out
