Reply to: Top 3 Most Hated Xmas Songs

[Doggy Styles]

In no particular order as I hate all of them............

Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie
Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney
A spaceman came travelling - Chris De Burgh

GOD PRESERVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't argue with that. Thread closed.

edit - whoops, I read Jona Lewie as something else. I don't mind that but I didn't think it was Christmas.

One I especially loathe is that old Live Aid number that gets played pretty constantly....

"Do they know it's Christmas time"

Sends me up the wall, but then any song that gets played repeatedly for 2-3 months every time I go into a shop makes me want to engage in mass homicide.

mass murder to the dulcit tones of Bonio singing "thank God it's them instead of me"

Nope, but we always shouted the work 'come' in the hymn 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful'. It was an all boys school and I guess that kind of juvenile behaviour was expected.

Thing is, I still do it now when it's sung in church...

heh heh.
my brother is a vicar and a mad Everton fan. He was preaching last year and I was in the congregation, the next song was 'Lord of the Dance'

so there I am , singing

'Run Run, whoever you may be'
'We are the famous EFC'
'You'll be seeing Blue'
'And fck all of the ball'
'...........'

I was watching his lips ....still not sure exactly what he was singing

Go out and get the original ( Leonard Cohen ) or the real classic version by Jeff Buckley. Both far far better than the X-Factor re-hash.

Jeff Buckleys version is proabably one of the best songs ever recorded by anyone.

Can't stand most of the Christmas songs that do the rounds, although I do quite like Greg Lake's ( Of Emmerson Lake and Palmer ) "I Belive in Father Christmas" mainly cos I'm a cynical and grumpy old git who doesnt really like christmas anyway.

Yes, I do like the Jeff Buckley one best but the other version isn't so bad...

[Flubster]

did you ever do any home made lyrics flubster, at school ?
like when shepherds washed their socks ? etc

I suppose that is the least offensive, but I HATE all of them.

WHS, there are some I can tolerate but when you go stay at the in laws for xmas and the same xmas cd is played over and over again for three days, it kinda puts you off.

ok I am going to invent song that you will all like
cant sing it myself as I have tinsellitis geddit? tinsellitis awfergeddit


Whilst Shepherds watched their flocks by night
EO was in the pub
Alexi set the markets right
and Suityou rubbed his tub

"Drink up," he said, for cheese and bread
Appeared on a plate
Threaded jumped in his time machine
and quickly set the date

The heavenly Babe called Cailin Maith
To human view displayed
And meanly wrapped
In wimply bands
And for last orders stayed

Thus spake the pilot, And forthwith
Tornado roared to life
six bowls of pasta on his knee
thats one for every wife

[EternalOptimist]

Hmm. Catchy. Have you thought about performing this to a camcorder then uploading this to MySpace...it could be a Xmas no1 hit...

What a bunch of miserable gits! It's Xmas, chill out and have a bit of fun. The kids keep playing a Xmas compilation at home and we can't help but sing along, have a laugh and be happy. <normal business will resume after 4th January>

WHS - Christmas isn't Christmas without a bit of Bing.

I couldn't find my Christmas CD this year, so we decorated the tree with no music on. First time that I can remember that Mary's Boy Child and When a Child Is Born weren't being played when I decorated the tree

Ok, I have to admit to really liking one christmas song from the 80's:

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping.

And if you get fed up with that, there's the inferior Spice Girls version:
