Which Christmas song do you hate the most?

[Thomasina79]

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

merry christmas everybody
Fuck Off Slade!

Do They Know It's Christmas Time and Mistletoe and Wine both make me gag.

I still love Fairytale of New York and I must be the only feminist left who loves Baby It's Cold Outside. (Though the Love Hard PC rewrite version is absolutely brilliant too.)

I don’t particularly hate any but as a teenager I listened to Hanson’s Christmas album non stop and my mum said it gave her headaches 😂😂😂 (I still listen to it though and the more recent one)

Is it 5 more sleeps by Leona Lewis? So long, too catchy.

In general I don't dislike any Christmas songs, what I do dislike is hearing them too much.

There was a bloke going back and forth on a rickshaw on London's Oxford Street blasting Mariah Carey on repeat last year. He should've been arrested for that alone.

Gary Glitter's rock and roll Xmas has been struck off the playlist, and rightly so, but I did like that one as a kid 🙈

I do love the first line of Merry Xmas war is over by John and Yoko, it sums up the season.

Yeah I get that but it sounds like he's talking to me when I listen to the song.
Don't think the warmongers of the world are going to listen to a shit Christmas song and think "oh yeah! Good point John!"

Like the OP, Mariah Carey's one.

'Lonely This Christmas' - so depressing!

Mistletoe and wine. Dreadful.

so many
Driving home for Christmas

I wonder if Andrew Ridgeley earns any performance royalties from Last Christmas? Although the song is credited to Wham, AR had zero input in its writing and recording. George Michael wrote it, sung it and played and programmed the instrumental track. He also produced the song. The only other person involved was the studio recording engineer.

Anything by Cliff Richard.

There's not many I'd say I dislike enough to turn the radio station over but his songs/voice give me the ick.

Many of my favourites have been mentioned here 😂

'Stop the Cavalry' is a much better anti-war song than 'Merry Christmas War Is Over'...

I hated Baby it’s Cold Outside until I heard the reverse version by John Travolta & Olivia N-J. It’s far less sinister!

Apparently, GM was very generous in that respect.

Pains me to say it because I love him but Wonderful Christmastime, Paul McCartney - have to run to turn that one off!

Omg the Kelly Clarkson one. It's just too Chaotic!

Cliff Richard - Mistletoe and wine.
I can't help but change the lyrics every time to "with gifts on the fire and logs on the tree"

I do however, love Nat King Cole -the Christmas song.

Fairytale of NY
Grates on me

Yes - I’d heard that he had signed over the royalties to Andrew Ridgeley many years ago to make sure he always had some money. There was that episode when, after GM’s death, the Sun was encouraging the royalties to be donated to charity in GM’s memory and AR chipped in with “they’re not yours to donate and George hated your filthy rag and everything you stood for, so I wouldn’t give a penny to anything promoted by you”. Which I thought was entirely fair enough…..!

i think i hate them all
they play them in the shops, they play them outside of the shops.
does not make me feel Christmassy - just STRESSED

I like most of them but One More Sleep by Leona Lewis is dreadful - so much slurred yodelling. Sounds like she’s been on the Advocaat and lemonade.

Lonely this Chrismas by Mud is almost as bad.

I love a snowball.

LL, not so much.

Me too @ObieJoyful a snowball with one of those maraschino cocktail cherries on a stick just shouts Christmas to me.

Step into Christmas by Elton John, possibly because I had to hear it on a loop while working at a christmas event. Also Feliz Navidad

This

I've never understood why it's so popular & so many people's favourite Christmas song. That's the one song guaranteed to make me switch radio stations

I'm not sure everyone regards it a Christmas song, but I loathe The Power of Love with every fibre of my being.
