Dammit, I should’ve opened in Incognito mode.
In all fairness, we were warned.
I lasted all of 1:42 of that Christmas in the Northwest before I bailed. If that’s the shortest amount of time, I’m not ashamed. I doubt POWs could take much more than that.
I only listened to the first few sentences of the lyrics before bailing.
I made it to the end. It was uniformly awful.
For me anything, anything Bomey-M related is complete anathema. But they have a fucking christmas albumn, so we hear it every year.
FWIW, the excellent movie Touching The Void features Boney-M failrly spectacularly where the protagonist is stuck in a crevasse and starts hallucinating.
I feel like that when I go to the shops at this time of year. Just with less broken leg
It’s been awhile since I heard Christmas at Ground Zero by Weird Al. I think that’s for the best.
I need to watch that movie from the beginning. I watched it once starting at about a quarter of the way in. Incomprehensible but interesting.
A funny song that can be played once per season. ONCE.
Another funny once song. One of his worst. They cant all be gems.
The same for The Night Santa Went Crazy.
Okay, the Baroque. But that’s it.
The music where I worked changed every few weeks. On the other hand, the Xmas music didn’t change from during the entire period it was playing, and I don’t think it changed from year to year, either.
“Mele Kalikimaka” was the one I hated most.
Does anywhere play Tubular Bells for Christmas? You wouldn’t be able to play it many times in one shift.
Anything that gets overplayed (and that’s definitely one that is) very quickly puts me in a less festive mood…
My usual, slightly puerile, reaction to hearing Mariah’s is to make up some alternate lyrics, e.g:
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
A gallon of the finest whiskey
And a four-foot bong of weed…
I don’t know how I forgot this:
The Jackson Five – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
“I did, I did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus!” 
May have been the beginning of my looong despising of Michael Jackson.
Piltdown Man in a Santa hat? I’m in! 
Told y’all.
I declare myself winner of the thread.
I’ll allow it.
All Hail the mighty @Smapti !! King of Unlistenable Schmaltz.
Hail! Hail! Hail!
It’s a curse, I tells ya! Having all that goop in your head when you’d rather be off inventing warp drive or something.
We… reach, Mr. S.
If you haven’t heard this version it might change your mind.
Okay, the original once, and this maybe a couple of times. Good find.
