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 😁

I’ll hear NO slander against Chris de Burgh’s masterpiece 👾👽

It’s One More Sleep for me. Dire.

Little Drummer Boy because of the connection to the Moors murders.

I have to turn the radio off every time they play it Sad

All I want for Xmas is you by M.Carey .
I don’t understand how this could be the most favourite Xmas song ever.
It’s horrible!

blackpinkinyourarea · 23/12/2022 12:22

ITS CHRIIIIIIIISSTMASSSSSSS

absolutely fuck right off

WouldJudasLeaveIt · 23/12/2022 12:23

Yes Tequilamockinbird, I've never been able to unlink it 🙁

Whatdoyouthinkno · 23/12/2022 12:24

East 17. It isn’t really a Christmas song, just a snowy video and it’s a really crap song.

Lovesnowforever · 23/12/2022 12:25

I already said that I hate All I want for Xmas by Mariah C.
To add few more Slade, Wizzard, Santa baby by Kylie..
Rocking around Xmas tree by Kim &Mel.

Pail McCartney, it’s sung with so little emotion, he sounds like he’s late to the pub and has been asked to quickly sing a christmas moneymaker special before he goes.

But it does show them to be early adopters of the Oodie.

Exhausteddog · 23/12/2022 12:28

I like Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas
And Last Christmas
And Driving home for Christmas.

But dislike Slade, wizard, the Paul McCartney/Wings one, Elton and Ed Sheeran and all the Cliff ones. He's released another Xmas album this year. When will someone tell him to put a sock in it?? Surely he's got enough money by now!

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 😂

Totally with you on that. Bloody hate that song

It was oooooooonlu a winter’s tale

David Essex strolling about the wintery countryside singing it saves that song for me 😂

Me too. Can't stand it. Have to turn it off as soon as it starts because it's like dragging nails down a blackboard to me.

No.

mondaytosunday · 23/12/2022 12:39

The Paul McCartney one. It's that bloody awful electronic thingy or whatever it is. Really gets on my nerves. Though I do like the video - he and Linda looks so happy!

@WetBandits was commenting on a post that cited both Driving Home For Christmas (Chris Rhea) and a Spaceman Came Travelling (Chris de Burgh).
She's championing the latter not the former.

cinnabongene · 23/12/2022 12:56

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.
I always interpreted that line to mean ‘everyone is thinking it but you should feel bloody ashamed of thinking it!’

BucketofTeaMassiveCake · 23/12/2022 13:01

I also hate Fairy Tale of New York, it's just horrible.

Mariah Cary's All I want for Christmas is an awful drone.

No.

It definitely is.
