Yes, We Know It's Christmas!!

For the last month or six weeks, radio playlists have become drearily formulaic. Go into any shopping centre and you can guess what music will be playing before you set foot in the place.

OK, I admit that I'm probably a teensy bit more cynical about Christmas than most, but by Jesus, I frigging hate Christmas music. Every year, it's the same ould shite that gets dusted off and wheeled out. The greatest offenders:

Merry Christmas Everybody - Slade

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard (especially the tuneless chorus sung by the kids)

Stop The Cavalry - Jonah Lewie

Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney. (Jeeezus, this guy wrote Let It Be, one of the greatest songs of all time.)

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues & Kirsty McColl (I used to like this song, and it's on one of my favourite albums of all time. but I have heard it too many times by now.)

Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid (Yes, they probably do, if only for the fact that this dirge is played incessantly on the radio.)

Last Christmas - Wham


Thanks be to jeebus they'll soon be back in the archive where they belong.
