Band Aid and the Wizzard one.... although most of them really.

Fairytale of New York. Absolute shite and not at all Christmassy

It's the only Christmas anthem I can tolerate, because it's not sickly sweet and sentimental.

@ObieJoyful I can believe that, he seemed like a thoroughly decent man. IIRC after he died it was revealed that he had paid for a strangers IVF treatment after being moved by seeing them on TV but he insisted on it not being publicised.

Last Christmas ! I hate it but it is husbands favourite !
I love the Shakin Stevens one best of all the pop ones .

Oh I don't know, "You're an bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk" inspires a slight warming glow!

Mariah Carey and Noddy Holder. I just leave the store if they are on. Nothing makes me leave a shop faster than loud music and crowds.

WillowTit · 24/11/2024 10:49

All the creepy ones like baby it's cold outside - I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus and Santa baby 🤮

Ew yes.

I also detest that Paul McCartney one. That one is rage inducing!

Flourshiba · 24/11/2024 10:59

I wish it could be Christmas everyday. Wizzard 🤯

Please. Make. It. Go. Away.

NewGreenDuck · 24/11/2024 11:01

I was going to say anything by Cliff Richard but I've been beaten to that!

Flourshiba · 24/11/2024 11:02

But, I like the Perry Como version of 'Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas'.

Preferably only between 20th~24th December.

And, slightly off topic, I do really enjoy some Christmas carols

Little Fucking Donkey.

CurlewKate · 24/11/2024 11:06

And Fairy Tale of New York. Especially when sung by children. Has anyone actually read the words????

DrZaraCarmichael · 24/11/2024 11:07

All of them. Every. Single. One.

Especially now that the radio and the supermarkets start playing christmas music in November. So I listen to podcasts and shop in Aldi.

But I do harbour a special hatred for that bloody awful Slade thing which starts "Iiiiiiiit's Chriiiiiiistsmas" which has been the soundtrack to december for my entire life. I loathe and detest it with a passion.

Nothatgingerpirate · 24/11/2024 11:10

Last Christmas I gave you my heart ..
Don't know who recorded it, but when it comes on
I switch off 😁

Darkdiamond · 24/11/2024 11:11

Fairytale of New York. I hate the tune and their voices and when a pub full of people start singing it, and it's all hot and packed inside, I get that feeling like my polo neck is too tight or there's a stone in my shoe. I get the same feeling when I hear The Summer of 69.

EveryKneeShallBow · 24/11/2024 09:14

All of them! Why are we still being forced to listen to something a bunch of 70s hippies tossed off in five minutes for the Top of the Pops 1971 Christmas special? Why??

Yup, this. Most of them are awful.

Do They Know It's Christmas is especially bad. Not just the fact that it seems so culturally mawkish and stupid by today's standards, it's simply a shit song. I get so fed up with hearing it. The opening chime of the bell as it cranks up makes me shudder. Not this one AGAIN.

pictoosh · 24/11/2024 11:13

Slade and Wizzard can fuck off forever too.

Keepingittogetherstepbystep · 24/11/2024 11:15

Do they know it's Christmas

Despite being written and recorded in such a hurry, the lyrics are vile. Imagine thanking God someone else is suffering instead of you.🤮

FelixtheAardvark · 24/11/2024 11:16

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas". Always depresses me to my boots.

MogTheSillyCat · 24/11/2024 11:16

Blue Christmas by Elvis.

I’ve never liked his voice & this song highlights how annoying it is. It’s a miserable song too.

riverwitch · 24/11/2024 11:18

Andy Williams: "Happy Holidays".
"He'll be coming down the chimney down" so "Hoopty-Doo"
Hoopty -Doo?
Yeah that just about sums up the song and it's lyrics.
