Most Annoying Christmas Song And Why?

[emily1890]

We've all got one, because it's overplayed, or because it's catchy for the wrong reasons, or what ever.

 

I had a hard time choosing from All I want for christmas is you by mariah carey (Seriously overplayed), Last Christmas by Wham (again, seriously overplayed), or fairytale of newe york by the pogues- and sadly, that last one used to be my favourite

 

Ever since they replaced the lyrics with you cheap lousy carrot, it just doesn't sound right- and now, on MTV Christmas, the version they play.. well, the second verse just sounds like a cd skipping- and I'm thinking just either cut the song, or play it how it was  intended

All of them.They were all OK the first seventeen million times...after that..no,no more.

Slade: So here it is Merry Christmas

[Hazlinny]

The only time I find any of them annoying is when they are blaring out on entering supermarkets.

Mistletoe & Wine

[Barsel]

The one with David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

Why? Can't stand either of them.

Fairy Tale of New York.

Christmas is supposed to be nice.  That isn't.  Sounds like a load of old drunks who've just fallen out of the pub.

^ I think that's the point.

Anything by  CLiff Richard

 

But love Bowie and Bing, and Fairytale of New York.  Sorry Barsel I love Bowie.  He was iconic imho.  Love Bings voice too

I can't stand the Paul McCartney one - Wonderful Christmastime

[Countrylover]

I must admit Fairytale  of New York is not a  Christmas song but it's treated as one and I love it.

[Barsel]

Lottie, no need to apologise. It would be a boring old world if we all liked the same things. x

[Countrylover]

I can't stand Paul McCartney!

[Countrylover]

True Barsel.

I tend to play the Phil Spector Christmas Album as I never seem to tire of it.

  My 3-year-old Granddaughter told me today that she is writing to Santa to tell him I have been a very good girl today!

All i want for Christmas, i loathe.

I love Fairytale of New York, but I suspect that is more to do with Kirsty than anything. Loved her voice and her humour.

Actually, out in the shopping mall today, as all the old favourites came up I was thinking how nice it was to have them all back again and I was happily singing along with them.  The trouble is they start so early in the season that by the time Christmas arrives they've lost their charm and you need an 11-month break before they're all welcome again.
