Thread Name: Bad Christmas music
Subject: RE: Bad Christmas music
Ooops! Sorry about that last one, my fingers were cold and hit the wrong thing.
I loathe Winter Wonderland and Frosty the Snowman, and, as someone else said, any Christmas song played too early...certainly before the beginning of December. I used to like all the carolly sort of things that got played but I hate the junk they play in shops these days. Part of the total devaluation of Christmas.
Jonah Lewie's (sp?)Call the Cavalry really irritates me, because I hear it every Christmas, and the only thing that makes it a Christmas song is that it says "I wish I could be home for Christmas" once, and it was a Christmas hit. I suppose I should be glad they don't play "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" which was also a Christmas hit! on the other hand Classic FM has been playing some really lovely Christmas music just about every other track, and I did hear "Ring out Solstice Bells" in Tesco.
