Your most hated Christmas song.

cliquester [Edit] [Delete] 83 replies 20:31 November 20th, 2012

Easily for me that wretched Pretenders one where she whines like a Siamese cat having a thrombo "It must.. be .. CHriisstmass.. TIIIME". Its probably my least favourite song ever come to think of it.

And yours?

Most of them are actually mostly not bad songs, really

but weren't written to be played as some sort of nostalgia drug. The overexposure to them has eroded the connotations with Christmas. So most sound like someone wanking to a family photo of you on a big screen at your wedding - totally not cool.

Saviour's Day...

The song is bad enough but it's the video that always gets me. Are we supposed to believe that out of the hundreds of people standing on a cliff-edge with Cliff Richard, not one person thought to push him off?

The Little Boy that Nat King Cole

Just so depressing, I mean what a chorus!

"In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn't got a daddy,
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot"
