Most hated Christmas song?

[Rroff]

Pretty much any cover or remake of classic Christmas songs where they are trying too hard and/or overly pretentious in tone especially the lyrics.

 

[Azza]

All of them.

 

[Mr Badger]

Bruce Springsteen "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town".

It's been on heavy rotation in my local supermarket and the spoken/shouted intro section in particular pushes it to be even more annoying than the rest.

 

[arc@css]

I think they all get a mention simply because each one is played sooooo much!

Heard now and then, there's the odd one that I don't mind.

 

[That Jekka Gal]

I like them all, even when it's a song by somebody I don't notmally like

 

[GravyMonster]

Stop the cavalry by Jonah Lewie. I know the history and meaning, but it's just bloody miserable.

 

[checjb]

The only one I like is Chris Rea's "Driving home for Christmas". The rest drive me nuts.

 

[Hades]

Nah man, the 1st time I hear that song is when I think 'that's it, Christmas is here!'

Totally agree. Christmas isn't here until the first showing of Faoiry Tale in New York.

 

[XeNoNF50]

Fairytale in New York, it seems that this has been on constant loop on radio since the start of the month. I used to like it, detest it now. Anyone else sick of the damn thing, or just me. Merry xmas btw

Oh and 2000 Miles from the pretenders. Just such a whiney tune that puts my teeth on edge.

One of the very few I actually like

 

[Varys]

Fairy tale of New York

 

[Gerard]

The pathetic covers of Fairy-tale of New York that change lyrics in case "offence" is caused. Don't like the original lyrics then don't cover it, and to add to that, get it up ye.

I'd be quite happy if he could take the bleedin' train next year instead

 

[Grim5]

All of them.

This!

 

[robj20]

All of them. I worked in retail at school age and for the whole of December had the same top 10 Christmas songs on repeat. Destroyed Christmas songs for me.
Only one I kind of like these days is the Darkness one.

Agreed. It's genuinely bad - not sure if he was meant to sound off his face and utterly tubeless but it's a **** vocal performance.

Well I guess you're just old and haggard then....

Ya lousy faggot.

All in the best possible taste.

Boom radio played the original yesterday, you listen to the wrong sources.

 

[D-Ranged]

I quite like most of the old ones, but the newer ones like Bieber and whoever else are just awful.

And any cover of baby it's cold outside just makes me want to end it all.

There's also a fantastic recording with Wallace Bird who's immense.

 

[pepp77]

A lot annoy me, but I remember its only a bit of the year, then I put on Dominic the Donkey and all is forgiven with Christmas songs.
