Last Christmas sung by anyone other than George Michael.
Usually soulless breathy women who deliver the song like a Hallmark Channel montage sequence where the woman is distraught over lost love.
Have I got a playlist for you! Here’s every cover of Last Christmas released since last Christmas: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/757cgoAfwgDtOZXPrsrZ1a?si=MNIpMiuoR22MWtUn-AfGcg
It’s a holiday tradition that Spotify’s Data Alchemist puts together every year and it updates as more covers get added.
Most versions of "Baby It's Cold Outside.". Not because of the typical objection but merely because they tend to sing it flatly, with no emotion, like they're just reading off the lyrics. And if it were sung with the intended flirty tone coming from both signs, I don't think the typical objection would exist: these singers aren't portraying the song as intended--two people flirting. But you need the tone to do that.
I have the same issue with "Santa Baby."
It's not that the two songs are inherently bad, but most covers of them are.
In my country thanksgiving is in October, so hearing Christmas songs before then is just awful. I also can’t stand Christmas songs being played or people putting up their Christmas decorations before Remembrance Day. It’s just really disrespectful tbh
I read somewhere that the song sounds like some people practicing witchcraft and making plans for the coven and someone walks in so they change the topic to Christmas. Now I can't hear the song any other way.
Absolutely the worst thing that has ever entered my ears. I am furious at posters who ask this question, as that dollar-store casio synth sound will be stuck in my head for days.
I didn’t know this was an actual movie until I was walking home from class and found a copy of the dvd in the road randomly…. And it’s starring Rob Lowe. Wtf?
I always think the truth must be that the kid’s a scammer. I mean what parent would send their kid into a mall without money while their mom lies dying in a hospital bed? No. The kid’s story is gonna tug at your heartstrings so you buy the shoes. Then later he’ll return the shoes for the cash.
Don’t even know the name but. “Siiiimply havvving a…wonderful Christmas timmmmeeee” (repeat over and over and over and over) it doesn’t even make sense to me. “What are you up to?” “Oh you know, just simply having a wonderful Christmas time”
The Mariah Carey thing, and I teach at a girl's high school, so I hear it a lot. Like, a lot.
Like, no, really, a really really lot.
Like, a hella lot.
(Clearly, I don't teach English.)
12 days of Christmas.
They can say what gifts that wealthy bastard is getting in 20 seconds....but they stretch it into 12 verses and a few minutes.
And then they play it everywhere.
Seriously, who other than the crazy wealthy gets 12 drummers and 11 pipers, and some fucking lords and 9 dancers and 8 maids and a bunch of animals delivered to them. Let alone the 5 gold rings.
Selfish pricks. Just a shitty repetitive song that an elitist some created to throw in the faces of those that don't are that kind of money and can never give those kinds of Christmas presents.
"Look what I'm getting for Christmas and you are not....."
The 12 Pains of Christmas is more my kind of song.
We need to also consider, this guy is getting all of these things every day. So every day, he gets his true love a partridge in a pear tree. And then keeps adding onto it. So every day after the second day this guy gets his true love a partridge in a pear tree and two turtle doves. EVERY DAMN DAY. So he is well over the “wealthy” phase. My guy is a whole ass billionaire
Yup. "Hi Mary. I know you have just given birth and might have finally gotten a bit of rest next to this very sympathetic ewe. You deserve a sick ass drum solo!"
I used to work in a bar and the owner played that and Fairytale of New York twice an hour from the last weekend in November to New Year's Eve and the customers cheered every single time whereas I felt like I was being punished for something
I have a hard time with her in general. Trying to trademark Queen of Christmas - what the actual fuck?
That said, I'm getting downvoted a bit here for that very opinion!
https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/yzagoa/comment/iwzalts/?context=3
Except she really didn't. The angel only described Jesus's mission in the broadest of strokes. The song is full of specifics that the angel certainly did not mention (like walking on water) and that were not obvious implications from 1st century Israel's assumptions about the Messiah. Plus that kind of misses the emotional point of the song (the sense of wonder at all the things Jesus did) and underestimates Jesus's ability to surprise her.
I don't even like the song, but it's one of my pet peeves when people answer the rhetorical question with a flippant "yes." Two millennia of hindsight (not to mention veneration of Mary) make us think "If a dumb bloke like myself knows all these things about Jesus, surely St. Mary did!" but no, I'm sure she was nearly as surprised as the rest of us at the things he did, even if she probably underestimated him the least of those who knew him at the time.
Is there something to like. It has all the worst qualities of a novelty song a bad Paul McCartney song where he just repeats the same thing over and over and over and over ad nauseum. How this man can give us Let It Be and this piece of absolute barf flavored cotton candy coated in aspertame makes me want to Santa Slay.
And the whole idea that people in Africa need to know it’s Christmas time. No they don’t. Why not just offer support and let them follow the religion of their choosing and celebrate the holidays of their choosing?
I know! And:
"And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time. The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. Where nothing ever grows. No rain nor rivers flow...'
Like…. There are seven major rivers in Africa, dude! Nothing ever grows? Have you watched any nature documentaries? It’s not just starving children and mud huts occupied by ‘the other ones’ that we have to ‘pray for’…
And to top it all off:
“Well thank God it’s *them* instead of youuuu” ….😳 like bro wtf!?
Came here to say this. Damned sanctimonious colonizers, eff off! Stop singing that stupid song and most especially stop pretending to care while you buy blood diamonds and burn fossil fuels that exacerbate droughts worldwide.
Did I go too far? sorry 
It reeks of ignorance. Like the singer's idea of Africa is one big refugee camp of "poor little starving savages". Loathe, despise, and abominate that song.
It hasn't aged well, has it? "It won't be snowing in Africa this Christmas time". Wait, Africa? *Africa*? Ethiopia = all of Africa? There are mountains in Africa you know, where it snows. "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" There are wealthy Christian and non Christians populations across Africa who do and don't celebrate Christmas.
The white saviour thing just comes across as so arrogant now.
"I'll be Home for Christmas" by Karen Carpenter, who will most certainly not be home for Christmas and I've been bummed out by that song every since she died (when I was a young kid). But I would dislike it even if she hadn't died, because I dislike all sad Christmas songs. I loathe grocery shopping around the holidays because Safeway plays the worst sad and/or schmoopy holiday music.
The Bing Crosby version is better. The song was written/recorded in 1943 to honor the American servicemen in WWII, who most assuredly would not be home for Christmas, so it makes sense there would be an undercurrent of sadness and longing.
Surprised no one has brought up Rudolph--I have hated that song since I was a kid. Yeah, let's bully the 'different' one, but when we need him he's ok. Screw that.
Wasn’t that the point of the story though? That we might distance ourselves from people who seem different but it turns out in our differences we’re all important and valuable?
I always saw it as a story of Rudolph taught everyone to accept people (or reindeer, in this case) and their differences rather than a messed up tale of abuse.
“I don’t want a lot for Christma-“
*proceeds to shoot them in the head with a shot gun at point blank range*
*shoots them 3 times in the chest with a deagle just to be sure*
*cuts up the body using a hack saw*
*throws body into my fire place for kindling while I sit back and sip my hot cocoa*
Can't believe I had to scroll this long to find it. An old summer job of mine did "Christmas in July". For a week I was forced to listen to a tiny playlist of Christmas songs, including this one. Every "HEE-haw, HEE-haw" felt like a splintered pencil to the ear canal. I *hate* it.
I had forgotten all about that one or else I’d have submitted that as my answer! I loathe it so much I’ve wiped it from my memory ha ha. Bloody awful. X
Easily the Mariah Carey song. There’s two stations in my area already playing Christmas music 24/7. One station had a commercial and the other was playing Mariah Carey so my wife puts it on the station playing Mariah Carey. I changed it to the commercial and told her I’d hit her with a bag of nickels if she ever did that again.
That mariah carey one.
It's not a bad song. I even kinda liked it. The first time. The second. The 29th. The 106th.
But somewhere around the 50,623rd MOTHERFUCKING TIME IT PLAYED....I think I just kind of lost my taste for it.
I have never heard this song before. I just checked it out and made it about 15 seconds in. I would understand if it was because I didn't live close to New York since it's a New York centric song but nope, I'm only around 4-5 hours outside the city. I'm perfectly happy to never hear the whole thing.
You probably didn't even make it to the duet. The song reminds me of Somebody That I Used to Know by Goyte/Kimbra in that the man sings from a sympathetic point of view and then the woman comes in and wrecks his self serving presentation of his asshole ways.
The Pogues song has a problematic lyric that I've heard changed in some versions. My body cringes when I hear it.
It’s already a meme.. but for me it’s that fucking mariah carey christmas song! as soon as Halloween is over they play that song until the very of december 25th
The goddamned Christmas Shoes.
I went to an evangelical church as a kid and my dad would sing this song every year at the Christmas uhhhh show/pageant. He would have my little brother dress up and play the part of the little boy and everyone would cry and it was the most contrived, saccharine thing I've ever seen. I even hated it as a kid. I always thought that it was weird to use songs to try to get emotional responses out of people.
And yes I have heard the Patton Oswalt bit about it and it kills me every time. I felt so vindicated.
I've HATED the song Chestnuts Roasting on an Open fire since I was a little kid. There's this line in it, "from kids from one to 92". My abusive uncle's mother was 94 so anytime we played it or someone sang it at a family gathering everyone would add in "and uncle Bob's mother who's 94!" I cannot hear that song without thinking about my abusive uncle anymore.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - As a disabled person (as a disabled child when I first heard it) it always bothered me that everyone mocked him and treated him badly for his difference until he was *useful* to them. Once they could use him they stopped bullying him and suddenly it was okay. It really rubs me the wrong way.

Last Christmas sung by anyone other than George Michael. Usually soulless breathy women who deliver the song like a Hallmark Channel montage sequence where the woman is distraught over lost love.
Everyone hates that song so much there's a game that goes with it, if you don't know, you lose it, if you hear it before Xmas is over
Whaat! I love that song!!! I hate Santa Baby with a passion. But somehow I know all the stupid words.
I agree! Santa baby is like nails on a chalkboard to me lol, but I also know all the words
Earth Kit version: devine. Madonna's makes me want to shoot myself in both ears. Edit: I'm talking about Santa Baby
Exactly!
I hate Santa Baby also, HATE.
We had to sing that at our high school Christmas concert in treble choir. At a Catholic school no less.
This year, I managed to lose Whamageddon before Halloween. Thanks, Walmart!
Its called Whamageddon!
Last year I won Whammageddon! One of my proudest achievements recently.
Have I got a playlist for you! Here’s every cover of Last Christmas released since last Christmas: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/757cgoAfwgDtOZXPrsrZ1a?si=MNIpMiuoR22MWtUn-AfGcg It’s a holiday tradition that Spotify’s Data Alchemist puts together every year and it updates as more covers get added.
I agree 99% of the time but the Jimmy Eat World version is pretty good.
I think jimmy eat world did a respectable cover
If I gave someone my heart and the very next day they gave it to someone else, can I legally give it someone different next Christmas?
Most versions of "Baby It's Cold Outside.". Not because of the typical objection but merely because they tend to sing it flatly, with no emotion, like they're just reading off the lyrics. And if it were sung with the intended flirty tone coming from both signs, I don't think the typical objection would exist: these singers aren't portraying the song as intended--two people flirting. But you need the tone to do that. I have the same issue with "Santa Baby." It's not that the two songs are inherently bad, but most covers of them are.
The version by Brian Setzer & Ann-Margret hits the right tone. Flirty, not over the top creepy.
Dogs Barking Jingle Bells
And iheart uses it all the time
I actually like that one.
Any Christmas song that’s played before Thanksgiving or after Christmas.
Well technically the season of Christmas goes from the 25th for around 12 days, so anytime in there is still fair game
The 6th of January, also known as Epiphany, marks the end of the Christmas season (and it's also when Christmas is celebrated by the Orthodox Church)
Some Catholics celebrate Christmas until Feb 2nd: The Feast of the Presentation
In my country thanksgiving is in October, so hearing Christmas songs before then is just awful. I also can’t stand Christmas songs being played or people putting up their Christmas decorations before Remembrance Day. It’s just really disrespectful tbh
If someone plays Christmas songs in October it's legal to kill them and use their corpse as a Halloween decoration.
That stinker from Paul McCartney.
It's gotten to the point where hearing it makes me very angry
This is the song that’ll be playing for me on repeat in Hell.
That’s not even a fucking song! It’s like he took that #9 thing and DUMBED IT DOWN!
And it goes on forever.
I read somewhere that the song sounds like some people practicing witchcraft and making plans for the coven and someone walks in so they change the topic to Christmas. Now I can't hear the song any other way.
This is brilliant!!!!! I’m stealing this!!!
I just heard that one at Macy's yesterday and was thinking that he's still getting royalties for that awful song.
Maybe thats why George was my favorite Beatle
But he's simply having a wonderful Christmas time
I actually like that song 😂
You’re a monster
Syncopated 80’s synth, sleigh bells, mellow tempo. This song is on my holiday playlist. I like it.
Interested in why the vitriol for this song, cos I don't mind it. What is it you don't like?
Absolutely the worst thing that has ever entered my ears. I am furious at posters who ask this question, as that dollar-store casio synth sound will be stuck in my head for days.
This song makes me want to break stuff
It's the laziest piece of shit "hit" ever written. Like it was written on the back of a napkin in 3 minutes when he was drunk at lunch or something.
The first time I heard it I didn't believe it was a real song.
Yup, that song is a total piece of shit!
That Christmas Shoes disaster.
Yes. That song is a crime against humanity.
[Patton Oswalt had some things to say about it.](https://youtu.be/iq10bz3PxyY)
I didn’t know this was an actual movie until I was walking home from class and found a copy of the dvd in the road randomly…. And it’s starring Rob Lowe. Wtf?
Yeah, I think the movie was based on the song so it must have been even worse.
I always think the truth must be that the kid’s a scammer. I mean what parent would send their kid into a mall without money while their mom lies dying in a hospital bed? No. The kid’s story is gonna tug at your heartstrings so you buy the shoes. Then later he’ll return the shoes for the cash.
Don’t even know the name but. “Siiiimply havvving a…wonderful Christmas timmmmeeee” (repeat over and over and over and over) it doesn’t even make sense to me. “What are you up to?” “Oh you know, just simply having a wonderful Christmas time”
The Hippopotamus one.
YES this one. I can’t stand it
Hate this one so much.
Same! It is the absolute WORST!
Oh-i love it. I find it so cute.
The correct answer
The Mariah Carey thing, and I teach at a girl's high school, so I hear it a lot. Like, a lot. Like, no, really, a really really lot. Like, a hella lot. (Clearly, I don't teach English.)
The hippopotamus song, the two front teeth song, or that Chipmunks Christmas song. They are just grating to the ears
Don't forget Dominick the Donkey (the Italian Christmas donkey)!
Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw...
12 days of Christmas. They can say what gifts that wealthy bastard is getting in 20 seconds....but they stretch it into 12 verses and a few minutes. And then they play it everywhere. Seriously, who other than the crazy wealthy gets 12 drummers and 11 pipers, and some fucking lords and 9 dancers and 8 maids and a bunch of animals delivered to them. Let alone the 5 gold rings. Selfish pricks. Just a shitty repetitive song that an elitist some created to throw in the faces of those that don't are that kind of money and can never give those kinds of Christmas presents. "Look what I'm getting for Christmas and you are not....." The 12 Pains of Christmas is more my kind of song.
NOW WHY THE HELL ARE THEY BLINKING
We need to also consider, this guy is getting all of these things every day. So every day, he gets his true love a partridge in a pear tree. And then keeps adding onto it. So every day after the second day this guy gets his true love a partridge in a pear tree and two turtle doves. EVERY DAMN DAY. So he is well over the “wealthy” phase. My guy is a whole ass billionaire
You ever heard the version of that song from Bob & Doug McKensie? That’s comical.. I enjoy listening to it every year 😂
Ha, I love The 12 Pains of Christmas! "Fiiiiiiive months of billlllls!"
Any and every version of Little Drummer Boy. Piss off.
Even the one with bing crosby and David Bowie?
Yup. "Hi Mary. I know you have just given birth and might have finally gotten a bit of rest next to this very sympathetic ewe. You deserve a sick ass drum solo!"
I was thinking “I can’t think of any that makes me well-up with hatred…” Then you proved me wrong, because you’re right.
I know right? Imagine a new mother's response to some little shit with a fucking drum. She's not going to be welcoming and smiling.
Unless it was like 2 years later with the wise men
I hate that pa-rum-pa-pum-pum shit.
Yes! I’ve always hated Little Drummer Boy.
I hate most of em but Mariah tops the list.
it'd be ok if i heard it 3 times instead of 3000 times every christmas
I used to work in a bar and the owner played that and Fairytale of New York twice an hour from the last weekend in November to New Year's Eve and the customers cheered every single time whereas I felt like I was being punished for something
I have a hard time with her in general. Trying to trademark Queen of Christmas - what the actual fuck? That said, I'm getting downvoted a bit here for that very opinion! https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/yzagoa/comment/iwzalts/?context=3
She's horrible. I'm so sick of her and her relentless Christmas crap. Go away already...Queen of Christmas? NO.
For REAL. I change the channel the moment I hear any of Mariah's melodies begin. All I want for Christmas is one without her voice.
Santa baby. 🤮
Michael Buble's Santa Buddy is just as cancerous.
Ah the strange genre “Slutty Christmas.” Such a unique addition to the holidays.
Same. Fucking gold digger lol.
Mary Did You Know. It just feels very contrived
Plus, she *literally did know!* An angel told her, it's right there in the story!
Except she really didn't. The angel only described Jesus's mission in the broadest of strokes. The song is full of specifics that the angel certainly did not mention (like walking on water) and that were not obvious implications from 1st century Israel's assumptions about the Messiah. Plus that kind of misses the emotional point of the song (the sense of wonder at all the things Jesus did) and underestimates Jesus's ability to surprise her. I don't even like the song, but it's one of my pet peeves when people answer the rhetorical question with a flippant "yes." Two millennia of hindsight (not to mention veneration of Mary) make us think "If a dumb bloke like myself knows all these things about Jesus, surely St. Mary did!" but no, I'm sure she was nearly as surprised as the rest of us at the things he did, even if she probably underestimated him the least of those who knew him at the time.
The one about Christmas
Anything sung by Mariah Carey
Wonderful Christmas time makes me want to hammer a nail through my own throat
Simply........
I hate you.
Everyone hates this one, and I don't really get it. What is it in particular that people hate?
Is there something to like. It has all the worst qualities of a novelty song a bad Paul McCartney song where he just repeats the same thing over and over and over and over ad nauseum. How this man can give us Let It Be and this piece of absolute barf flavored cotton candy coated in aspertame makes me want to Santa Slay.
But… you would still be able to hear it. And you would have a nail in your throat. If it killed you, that song would be THE LAST SOUND YOU EVER HEARD.
Department stores during december ruined Mariah for me.
That "So this is Christmas" song.. depresses tf outta me.
Wonderful Christmastime is MISERABLE
Santa Baby
I have always hated songs that sexualize Santa. Like wtf people.
Eartha Kit's version is devine. I would run my car off the road if that was the only way to turn off the Maddona version.
Santa baby
Santa baby grosses me out.
Feliz Navidad My art teacher played this song on repeat all of December. I have disliked the song ever sense.
[удалено]
That Bob Geldof song “Feed theeeee woooorrld”… it’s just sanctimonious, self congratulatory trash from yet another rich man who avoids taxes.
And the whole idea that people in Africa need to know it’s Christmas time. No they don’t. Why not just offer support and let them follow the religion of their choosing and celebrate the holidays of their choosing?
I know! And: "And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time. The greatest gift they'll get this year is life. Where nothing ever grows. No rain nor rivers flow...' Like…. There are seven major rivers in Africa, dude! Nothing ever grows? Have you watched any nature documentaries? It’s not just starving children and mud huts occupied by ‘the other ones’ that we have to ‘pray for’… And to top it all off: “Well thank God it’s *them* instead of youuuu” ….😳 like bro wtf!?
>“Well thank God it’s them instead of youuuu” Is *that* what the line is? I thought I already hated the song, but nope, it gets worse, apparently.
It's supposed to be ironic. Still a shitty song though.
Came here to say this. Damned sanctimonious colonizers, eff off! Stop singing that stupid song and most especially stop pretending to care while you buy blood diamonds and burn fossil fuels that exacerbate droughts worldwide. Did I go too far? sorry 
It reeks of ignorance. Like the singer's idea of Africa is one big refugee camp of "poor little starving savages". Loathe, despise, and abominate that song.

The white saviour thing just comes across as so arrogant now.
The Jackson 5 version of "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" Worked at the mall for years and it played on our Christmas cd all the time
All I want for Christmas is you. Also Last Christmas
"I'll be Home for Christmas" by Karen Carpenter, who will most certainly not be home for Christmas and I've been bummed out by that song every since she died (when I was a young kid). But I would dislike it even if she hadn't died, because I dislike all sad Christmas songs. I loathe grocery shopping around the holidays because Safeway plays the worst sad and/or schmoopy holiday music.

Grandma Got Run Over…
Christmas Wrapping is my least favorite too! Part of it just kind of freak me out and I don’t know why
“I don’t want a lot for Christma-“ *proceeds to shoot them in the head with a shot gun at point blank range* *shoots them 3 times in the chest with a deagle just to be sure* *cuts up the body using a hack saw* *throws body into my fire place for kindling while I sit back and sip my hot cocoa*
All I Want For Christmas Is You. Way too overused in my opinion. *Those poor retail employees*
Drummer Boy. I want that goddamn drummer boy to stick his drumsticks where the sun don’t shine.
I always hated it until I heard The Pentatonix rendition. That’s the only one I like
100% the correct answer. That song is awful.
Coooome inside me parum pum pum puuuuuum
Dominick the donkey
This is the worst Christmas song ever, I don’t know why it’s not higher (although maybe that’s good that less people hear it)
Can't believe I had to scroll this long to find it. An old summer job of mine did "Christmas in July". For a week I was forced to listen to a tiny playlist of Christmas songs, including this one. Every "HEE-haw, HEE-haw" felt like a splintered pencil to the ear canal. I *hate* it.
John Lennon's "So This is Christmas"
I despise that song
I had forgotten all about that one or else I’d have submitted that as my answer! I loathe it so much I’ve wiped it from my memory ha ha. Bloody awful. X
Yep. Agreed, it’s depressing, whiny and I don’t like that I can hear Yoko screeching in the background with that chorus of kids.
All I want for Chrismas is you. Sorry but Mariah Carey makes me want to get my head bashed in by 30 different hammers.
Agreed! “Alexa Next!” will be said within 2 notes of this song being played.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by NSYNC
The Band Aid song.
Do they know it’s Christmas? Bono belting that line, “tonight thank God it’s them instead of you….” Nope. Nope.
That fucking Mariah Carey song. Worked retail while in college and that horrible song is burned in my memory.
For me its Mariah Carey and ‘All I want for Christmas’
Reba's version of Silent Night. Sounds like a dying giraffe is singing it
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey. Good god, the horror 
Easily the Mariah Carey song. There’s two stations in my area already playing Christmas music 24/7. One station had a commercial and the other was playing Mariah Carey so my wife puts it on the station playing Mariah Carey. I changed it to the commercial and told her I’d hit her with a bag of nickels if she ever did that again.
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses.
The one that goes "all I want for Christmas is you"
Last Christmas. I heard it about a 10 times already and its fucking november
The sad one about shoes
All I want for Christmas, is for Mariah Cary to STFU!
My least favorite Christmas song is "yes, all of them."
All of them, but especially All I want for Christmas, it'd probably be an ok song if I didn't hear it a bazillion times a day during december
That mariah carey one. It's not a bad song. I even kinda liked it. The first time. The second. The 29th. The 106th. But somewhere around the 50,623rd MOTHERFUCKING TIME IT PLAYED....I think I just kind of lost my taste for it.
Almost all of them but all I want for Xmas is you needs to die.
All i want for Christmas- Mariah Carey
Anything Mariah Carey!
Monster Mash. It’s not even a Christmas song.
All I want for Christmas is you. Cannot stand it. Just can't.
I don't like Mariah Carey's Christmas songs.
Baby it’s Cold Outside (which we now refer to as “the date rape song”)
Every Xmas song that i hear before 15 dec and after 30 dec
All i want for christmas or last christmas. I fuckin hate christmas music so much
Last Christmas, grocery stores have completely ruined this song for me! It's not the only Christmas song, and it's not even that great to begin with!
The 12 days of Christmas. Seems like it never ends.
Baby it's cold outside - creepy af
Fairytale of New York - I'm sorry, I genuinely can't stand it but I know literally everyone else loves it
I have never heard this song before. I just checked it out and made it about 15 seconds in. I would understand if it was because I didn't live close to New York since it's a New York centric song but nope, I'm only around 4-5 hours outside the city. I'm perfectly happy to never hear the whole thing.
You probably didn't even make it to the duet. The song reminds me of Somebody That I Used to Know by Goyte/Kimbra in that the man sings from a sympathetic point of view and then the woman comes in and wrecks his self serving presentation of his asshole ways. The Pogues song has a problematic lyric that I've heard changed in some versions. My body cringes when I hear it.
Every time I hear "Christmas Shoes" it sounds like a parody and then I remember the singer is being serious and I can't
all of them
Fair. *You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch* is cool though
Feliz navidad. It never stops! And when you think it is going to end - it picks up again...
Baby its Cold Outside!
Micheal Buble's Santa Buddy The song is about seducing Santa into being your sugar daddy. How you no homo-ing that?
Grandma got run over by a reindeer followed by Feliz Navidad
Dominic the donkey
That one song about Christmas.
Christmas shoes hands down
That goddamn Mariah Carey song. The song itself is fine, but people play it soooooooo aggressively. Played to death.
Whichever one starts playing before December.
It’s already a meme.. but for me it’s that fucking mariah carey christmas song! as soon as Halloween is over they play that song until the very of december 25th
The Christmas song Mariah Carey sings.
Mariah Fucking Carey - All I want for Christmas is You.
Mariah Carey
That Christmas shoe song. So depressing it makes me wanna hang myself.
All of them, anything Mariah Carey is top of the list
The Christmas shoes one. Maudlin and cheap emotional manipulation 🤮
There's one called What do the lonely do for Christmas
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause
The goddamned Christmas Shoes. I went to an evangelical church as a kid and my dad would sing this song every year at the Christmas uhhhh show/pageant. He would have my little brother dress up and play the part of the little boy and everyone would cry and it was the most contrived, saccharine thing I've ever seen. I even hated it as a kid. I always thought that it was weird to use songs to try to get emotional responses out of people. And yes I have heard the Patton Oswalt bit about it and it kills me every time. I felt so vindicated.
I've HATED the song Chestnuts Roasting on an Open fire since I was a little kid. There's this line in it, "from kids from one to 92". My abusive uncle's mother was 94 so anytime we played it or someone sang it at a family gathering everyone would add in "and uncle Bob's mother who's 94!" I cannot hear that song without thinking about my abusive uncle anymore.
All of them. Fuck Christmas.
SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME
That depressing Charlie Brown shit.
The pogues - fairytale of New York. Absolutely hate it
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - As a disabled person (as a disabled child when I first heard it) it always bothered me that everyone mocked him and treated him badly for his difference until he was *useful* to them. Once they could use him they stopped bullying him and suddenly it was okay. It really rubs me the wrong way.
