Song has been hijacked for me, when I hear it I cannot help but smirk thinking of Smiffy belting this song out to Gavin on his carphone between bouts of roadrage.......very funny:). Terrible I know, to think its supposed to be about helping starving people in Ethiopia:o.
 
Fairy tale of New York - but not the version with Ronan Keating that is on my Now Christmas album. Too clean a voice and they have changed some of the 'offensive' lyrics!
2nd is Christmas wrapping by the waitresses and 3rd is Santa Claus is Coming to Town, but only the Springsteen version

OMG, is that seriously a thing? I would google it, but once I hear it I won't be able to unhear it so I won't. Christ, of all the people they could chose to go against what good old Shane MacGowan brought to the song...
 
Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea. I also love the Roy Wood and Slade classics. You can't help but get in the mood when you hear them.

I must be the only one who doesn't like Fairytale of New York and I really can not bear the Springsteen wail.

Is that man incapable of leaving classics alone? He managed to bring his own particular brand of mediocrity to "When You Say Nothing At All" which Alison Krauss did beautifully.

As regards the thread, a dead heat at the top for me would be Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" and The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl, honourable mention for Slade and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You".

Conversely, if I never hear Cliff Richard's "Mistletoe & Wine", Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" and Wham's "Last Christmas" again it will be too soon.

And you talk about me having digs. Pot and kettle.

As it goes there are numerous Christmas songs that I enjoy but the problem I have is simple. They get blasted to death incessantly in every shop, pub, shopping centre, lift, etc from before December until the new year they just become an irritant. If there was a way of listening to them selectively or with a daily break from some of them then I may change my mind. As that's not going to happen I won't. My opinion and whether that makes me a misery or not doesn't bother me a jot
 
Last Christmas - Wham - fancied the arse of Shirlee Holliman in that video and was one of their backing singers.
Slade, Wizzard, Fairytale of New York, Greg Lake etc.
And I actually prefer the Spice Girls' version of Christmas Wrapping which is both sad and humiliating all the same.

Junior 15-year old female Shark wants to vote for a song called "Santa's Pissed". She also found one called "I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus" which was very PC.
