The worlds gone mad.. Ban all Xmas songs

Recommended Posts

I'm ready and willing to get Christmas going but Mrs Hew is insisting we wait. 

I went to a garden centre for Doggy Hew supplies a couple of weeks ago and got very excited walking around the Christmas display. They had the tunes going too, it was ace. Although in my excitement, I forgot some of the dog supplies.

If I worked there and had to listen to the songs all the hours of every shift for 8 weeks, I might change my mind.

On another note, I generally dislike the Chirstmas songs, not because they're bad, but just because the same ones get overplayed. Hearing Slade while struggling through an oppressively-decorated  and overcrowded shopping centre is my idea of hell.

Not gonna be so much of an issue this year, I reckon!

It seems like the right thread for it, so here's my top 10 (in the order I remembered them...)

  • Santa Claus go straight to the Ghetto - James Brown
  • Another Lonely Christmas - Prince
  • Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas - Eels
  • Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses
  • Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
  • Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - U2
  • Winter Wonderland - Harry Connick Jr
  • Please Come Home For Christmas - Southside Johnny
  • What Christmas Means to Me - Stevie Wonder
  • Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town - Brice Springsteen

I also like all the music from the Charlie Brown Christmas special.

Who doesn't love Mariah this is crazy!

I'd just like to point out that I have never 'knowingly' heard any of her music. Now, no doubt I must have done so, but as I mostly pay no attention to who's singing what then I can rarely pinpoint anything musically. So, to conclude - I don't know whether I like her or not.

I'm also not arsed one way or the other about which version of Fairytale of New York they play, and like many of us, yesterday had to google the word 'herrenvolk'.

I'm completely losing the plot on this thread now. Where does the (also new to me) word 'herrenvolk' come in to things?

Here you go Yog, she's so lovely 😁

 

I'd like to dedicate this to Swedge 😊

Oh no. That's it complete for me now. I haven't got a clue at all. What's the homophobic slur, and which song is it from?

"faggot" from Fairytale of New York

This same stink happens whenever Dambusters is on too, but it's always white people complaining.

Thanks for the info maelzoid. I did actually try to search for the answer myself beforehand but for some reason my search skills really aren't up to much this morning - hence my sort of afore mentioned freefall bewilderment. Not that that isn't my normal day to day MO anyway"!
