Which Christmas song do you hate the most?

[Thomasina79]

I particularly loathe all I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey

100 per cent. If I can't switch it off I have to leave the room

And Do They Know It's Christmas beat Last Christmas.

Didn’t George Michael delay the release of Last Christmas (or something like that) to enable Do They Know It’s Christmas to reach no. 1. He was gutted apparently because it would have meant four or five successive no 1s but did it because he was a good guy. Am I remembering correctly?

Step Into Christmas.

Exactly. I'm not a massive fan of it compared to many other Pogues songs but don't get people criticising Fairytale of New York for being miserable/sweary. I mean, it's Shane McGowan, he's hardly going to sing a wholesome happy festive ditty 😅

Yes. Give Christmas lullaby by the Pogues a listen!

Haha I'd forgotten that one! And people think Fairytale of NY is too miserable to be a Christmas song 🤣

I don't mind it being miserable and sweary but it just sets my teeth on edge. I like The Pogues but was not a Kirsty McColl fan and it's her parts that grate somehow. The tune is so annoying too. I just hate it.

We gave radio 2 on at work. 2.20 and Scott mills has already played Mariah fucking Carey and some Ariana Grande Christmas shite.

FML

Anything with a school choir in.

@IcedPurple Bridget jones best male friend had a one hit wonder at Christmas and lived off the royalties. Is that who you are thinking of?

The choir of children sing their song. Ding dong ding dong ding dong

Fuck offffffffffffff Cliff Richard.

To be honest though, there isn't one that isn't a dirgy piece of shite that's been overplayed since the start of November.

All of the above, but the version of "do they know it's Christmas" that has just been released (to mark however many years it's been since we had the original foisted upon us), is by far the worst thing I've ever heard.

I heard a slower version of ' do they know it's Christmas?' today and thought it was the one that was released as Band Aid 2 in 2004 ! I didn't realize they had made another one for the 40th anniversary
The original isn't perfect , but it was faster and a bit more upbeat than this one was.

‘Last Christmas’ - makes me cringe

I like ' last Christmas' although the lines ' tell me baby do you recognize me? ' well, it's been a year it doesn't surprise me' is odd as why wouldn't she recognize him?
It's only been a year ..

That awful screechy one with Noddy Holder 😩

Oh I am so with you on this!

The Christmas songs shouldn't be played on the radio until the 1st December, but this year that has been changed ! lol
Seems people can't get enough of them

The only one I like: José Feliciano, Feliz Navidad: (Run time approx 3mins.)

I loathe The Darkness one, Christmas Time Don't let the Bells End - why does Justin always sound like he's being strangled whenever he sings? Mad World is also awful (not a Christmas song exactly but was Christmas No 1 one year).

My younger daughter is 25 now and she is still scared of Roy Wood in the video. And she has always been outraged that he gives one of the kids a little kick (or is it a slap/push?).

We wish you a Wombling Merry Christmas.

No. You said it not brilliant - it's just a bit sweary & inappropriate.

I think it IS brilliant despite it being a bit sweary (and I don't agree it's inappropriate)

not the same thing at all

I can't find it😫. Is that the full title? Give Christmas?
