Christmas Songs I Dislike.

I'm sure there is a christmas song by Leftfield.
Your name just reminded me.

Most Christmas Carols are fine but most Christmas Songs are dire. The Greg Lake one (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) is beautiful. George Michael’s Last Christmas is wonderful. The lyrics are bland and ridiculous but his voice…

We wish you a wombling merry christmas is up there with the bad 'uns.

I hate Mistletoe & Wine & Marys Boy Child, not over fond of Wham’s last Christmas. The ones I love….Fairy Tale of New York, Chuck Berry’s Run Rudolph Run & Darlene Loves Marshmallow World. Favourite carol at school was Once in Royal David’s City.

The Moors Murder trial heard that Brady and Hindley played Little Drummer Boy as they tortured and killed Lesley Anne Downey. I have to switch it off whenever it’s played.

Most are awful Little Drummer Boy and Mary's BoyChild are the worst. Cliff is too awful for words. Favourite is Shepherds Farewell.

Dislike most Christmas songs, especially Mariah Whatsit.
Oh Holy Night is my favourite - we have a busker in Newcastle outside M&S some Wednesday’s - he sang it last week and I saw several people dabbing their eyes - could have just been a bit of grit!
I’m appalled that Sky Sports is using Little Drummer Boy on their advertisement this year. Perhaps their ad team is too young to have heard of the Moors Murderers?

I'm not too young to have heard of the Moors Murderers, Georgesgran, bu what's the connection? I must be missing something here.

Me too ?
.

I certainly remember the band name, kadinsky.
I seem to vaguely remember a kind of manic rock-a-Billy type song by them?
Perhaps it's all in mind though

Oh no - missed out the h!

I think Carols are quite nice but loathe the “Xmas songs”
But then I am a bit Christougenniatikophobic

Same here. Quite like Carols but can't stand most Christmas songs

I'm also a bit Christougenniatikopobic but I didn't know it till you told me Lucca!

I just love old fashioned Christmas carols, the ones that were sung in pubs before they migrated to churches! Also the very old carols that are barely know these days.

To answer OP. Anything that is more modern than the above especially White Christmas and Fairy Tale of New York.

Greg Lake was also in King Crimson if anyone remembers them?

I know, I know, but I can't bear tuneless songs from children. No way would I listen to that Grandma/Grandpa whatever it is by Clive Dunn we thing. Carols sung by proper choirs only. My Dad sang in the choir of St John's College, Cambridge so perhaps it's a genetic thing. My excuse anyway.

... me too.

I have to say, though, the mere hint of a school nativity play reduces me to tears these days.

sorry 'we love you' thing. Ghastly!!!

When a child is born.
Actually, I dislike all of them.

You and me both,
Have yourself a merry little Christmas is like dirge.
Specially dislike jazzed up version of silent night.
