What's your least favourite Christmas song?

[fenellavonspurtz]

Mine is White Christmas cos when Bing starts whistling it really gets on my nerves!! I know it's a classic blah blah blah but it's so simpery. Anyone else a Grinch about a certain Xmas song?

Driving home for Christmas. I hate it, it has to be turned off - I think it's his voice, gravelly and nasty. Also a spaceman came travelling - complete shite 😁

Slade. I wish it could be Christmas every day.

It was oooooooonlu a winter’s tale
just a whiny winters tale
but whhhyyyy should the world take no-o-tice

why indeed?

Wizard. I think it’s the creepy 70s video

Driving home for Christmas 😣

I hate Fairytale of New York. Everyone loves it and I don't know why. It comes on and everyone starts shouting it. The lyrics are problematic and it's not well sung. It annoys me that everyone loves it so much which makes me hate it even more 😂

Another one for Driving Home For Christmas. Boring and droning.

That bloody Stay Another Day. It is not a Christmas song!

2000 Miles by the Pretenders.

To my ear they have just written some random Christmassy lyrics, found a random tune and tried to combine the two. Well it doesn’t work! You just sound like a drunk who’s forgotten what they are trying to say!

Driving home for Christmas, it's awful

Santa Baby by Kylie Minogue 🤮🤮

Current Lizzie one

It makes more sense once you know that it was written about James Honeyman-Scott who was a founding member of the band. He died aged 25 in 1982.

I have two: there's a really old song called The Little Boy Who Santa Claus Forgot. The first time I heard it, it made me cry cos this poor lad gets sod all for Christmas. The song also says he doesn't have a daddy, although it doesn't give this as the reason for the lack of Christmas gifts. He's not supposedly naughty as it doesn't say that either. He just gets forgotten. Bloody awful

And the other is Band Aid. Purely for the 'tonight thank god it's them, instead of you" bit. How bloody awful and selfish is that? I do believe Midge Ure has since said he regrets that line himself.

Mariah Carey's one. Makes my ears bleed. I'm not a fan of Chris Rea grunting about his commute either.

Wham. FML I hate that song.

Last Christmas.

Hate hate hate it! It sounds like a 15 year old's music GCSE composition. That awful keyboard "riff" in the middle, that it just quite literally just the first five notes of a scale...

Mud - Lonely This Christmas. Genuinely terrible.

I’m sorry, I still don’t like it. At least write a tune to fit the lyrics instead of dragging out random syllables.

Each to their own though!

Absolutely hate the vile Fairytale of New York. I just can't see any redeeming features of it at all.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas. Didn't mind it until everyone used it to tag their social media photos of them doing anything remotely Christmassy for the last week of November and all of December. Compounded by Channel 4 using it at the start and end of the ad breaks of any Christmas food programmes.

Mud It'll be lonely this Christmas, depressing drivel

Baby it's cold outside, by Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews for the obvious reasons of the lyric content.

Also Band Aid - all versions. "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" " Thank God it's them instead of you." Inappropriate on all levels.

That song is by Wizzard not Slade .

The Paul McCartney/Wings one. " Simply having a wonderful Christmastime"
It sounds to me as though it was written by a collective of 8 year olds. Even that wouldn't excuse it.
