Got to be White Christmas by Irving Berlin because it makes me chuckle that the best selling Christmas song (and best selling all time single) was written by a Jewish composer.
Also, where’s Wham?
Also written by Jewish composers (because we secretly love Christmas whilst having to pretend we don’t)

Norwegian spruce will istablish its Christmas credibility
This one is pure hell - induces a sort of existential madness. There may be two versions.

We have a summer every year, yet we don’t play the same shitty 50 songs for three months.
If we did, the Fresh Prince wins every time.

I fucking hate Fairy Tale of New York, it was shit when it was written, it’s shit today and has been shit all the years in between.
Shitty shitty bang bang levels of shitness.

i don’t really do the word hate…but this is perhaps one of the things it can be reserved for…
it could have been a great song…
but i do reserve my extreme sadness for the poor kids who were forced at gun point to take part in Shakin Stevens’ video…I hope they sued…

haha yeah, that’s it. I don’t think they ever mention Xmas but it seems to be a massive Xmas song.
It doesn’t seem right…just like that film…

Got bells on it though hasn’t it.
Then there’s Stop the Cavelry. Was releaded in February and only mentions Christmas is passing. Joana lucked out with that one.

It is irritating - I agree. I think initially you think that’s interesting- then you here it in a pub surrounded by drunken idiots and you think fuck this is depressing
