Which Christmas songs do you really HATE?

I cannot stand Wham's Last Christmas. Have always, hated it's drippy 80s tune. But listened to the words properly tonight (TOTP2) and it's even worse. "Last Christmas I gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away" GET OVER IT. I know, it's just washed over me until now.

That doesn't do much for me, or Mariah Carey's one. In fact, just about any of those pop ballad ones are radio switch-off time.

That Nat King Cole one about the laddie who hasn't got a daddy, always leaves me thinking "what the hell was that?"

now i hate Driving Home for Christmas.
complete Overkill,
feeling a real scrooge as regards christmas songs this year, they have been playing for for far too long imo

Mistletoe and Farking Wine.Mind you anything by Cliff gives me the irrational wish to throw radio at the wall.

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 22:39

Anything by Cliff or Paul McCartney. That Mariah one as well.

I don't really hate any of them, some a little annoying, except for one - Aaron Neville's White Christmas - atrocious stuff.

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 23/12/2008 22:53

oh the Spice Girls "Sleigh Ride" - bloody annoying stuff

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 22:57

I don't remember the Spice Girls one. I must have blanked it out.

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 23/12/2008 23:00

that fecking one about Solstice summat-or-other that was on TOTP2 this evening, near the end - it was sooo boring I have not only forgotten the name of it, but also who sang it! (c.1972)

deckthegirlandboywithholly · 23/12/2008 23:09

I probably won't be popular saying this, but I don't care.

I absolutely hate "Fairytale of New York", Kirsty MacColl and the mouldy toothless git.

Was it the Jethro Tull one?

thumbElf · 23/12/2008 23:10

aye, that's it - I was thinking the Wurzels but knew that was wrong, so yes, Jethro Tull.
Ta! Can now loathe it knowledgeably.

bananaknickers · 23/12/2008 23:11

George Micheals new song is awful

cornsilk · 23/12/2008 23:12

My ds's love that Jethro Tull one! That Spice Girl's one is so awful - especially the two fish wives nattering at the start.

Pinkchampagne · 23/12/2008 23:13

Can't stand that Bony M one or any Cliff numbers...oh & Mariah Carey's one - I can't bear Mariah Carey!

GentleOtter · 23/12/2008 23:15
