Christmas songs you absolutely detest

OK...so shops have started playing Christmas music already, and its reminded me how offensive to the ear some Christmas songs are. *Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but hearing some of these songs over and over again drives me up the wall! Below is my top 3 'smash your stereo' favourites...


1. 'Driving Home For Christmas' - Chris Rea

2. 'Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) - The Darkness

3. 'Mistletoe and Wine' - Sir Riff Pilchard...this one gets extra hate points


Anyone have any to add?

I like most Xmas songs fine and dandy provided I hear them between the 2nd and 24th of December.

Apart from The Pogues FTONY which I can listen to any old time as it's just a good song.

And as for East 17 it's not really a Xmas song except when it's in conjunction with the video.

Those white parkas, the snow, Brian, Tony, Tug and Boz giving it maximum yearnage, gets me every time.

As for Jonah Lewie if you have Stop The Cavalry followed by Always In The Kitchen At Parties you have a festive two-hander that'll get kids from 8 to 80 cutting a rug with gay abandon.

I can't stand the Maria Carey one (mind you, I don't like her music at the best of times, so her singing a xmas song was never going to work for me!), and the Slade one gets stuck in my head for days on end driving me mad. Always enjoy hearing the Pogues, can't help but smile. Am looking forward to teaching my 3 year old the lyrics this year...

I have to agree. Though I do have a soft spot for Mull of Kintyre.....

I too quite enjoy Driving Home for Christmas - I know it's not cool, but when it comes to Christmas, I am resolutely uncool.


In fact, I would like to state my case here and now - I love Wonderful Christmas Time, Mull of Kintyre, Pipes of Peace and even the ruddy Frog Chorus. I'm Rosie and I heart Christmas cheese (in fact, that may be the name of one of the many Christmas albums I own).


Destestables include Whigfield's Last Christmas, any variety of Maria-esque warbly soul bastardisations of classic Christmas pop, I don't mind Mistletoe and Wine but Saviour's Day and The Lord's Prayer are pretty diabolical. Oh, I think there's a Michael Bolton one too. Ugh.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
