    Am hearing the cunting things everywhere now. Let's be real here, does any Christmas song at all come close to Fairytale of New York?

    "Silent Night, Holy Night" should be mandatory to all New Yorkers to listen to so they can be reminded the true meaning of Christmas.

    "White Christmas" is considered racist now so lets not go there...

    Not if you're Irish/Scottish or 'edgy' 30/40-something pisshead who still goes out on Christmas Eve lunchtime until past midnight and gets wrecked because deep-down, as an adult they dislike Christmas or never got all the toys they wanted as a child.



    Plus, it's offensive.

    The John Lennon one is decent

    The Little Drummer Boy is good in the old style with the kids singing (not some Bob Seger taking a shit style)

    Feliz Navidad is funny ... reminds me of fun times with ILLUMINATI's sisters

    The Phil Spector ones are good

    Is it considered 'edgy' to get pissed on Christmas Eve? I think most people do it to have a good time, I don't think people consider the edginess factor.

    Also, once I got my SNES as a kid, I knew nothing would ever compare so I would say I was more than satisfied present-wise.

    The Paul McCartney one is the fucking worst. Let's all agree on that.

    It's like the cunt has to record every fucking melody he comes up with RIGHT AWAY and just makes up the lyrics while recording

    Then gets his musically irrelevant wife (RIP) to sing with him ... "sing the high bit, luv"

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, your body rejected the transplant and you died.

    Seriously though, this song is pretty much only considered a big song at Christmas in the UK.

    I've spent Christmas in 5 different cities in 4 dfifferent continents (inc. New York City) and only the people in the UK are vaguely aware of this song.

    Who wants to listen to a tune by a drunken toothless Irisher arguing with an equally hideous chubby/ginger?
    A melancholic, nostalgic, take on alcoholism, addiction and no love.

    At Christmas.

    How charming.

    This Heidi Fleiss lookalike has inexplicably been around for like 25 years now despite producing nothing but shite. Can't sing now and never could sing. Totally inexplicable that she started out backup singing for a living. Always slightly flat anywhere above mid range. Tries to make up for it by yelling and fails. Wrote "Soak Up The Sun", one of the most terrible songs of all time with the ludicrous opening lyric "my friend the communist" ... she's shit, you're shit... hit the bricks, pal

    Yeah, I've never git the appeal of Crow at all.
    Ditto, Alannis Morrisette.


    Ditto, 90% of all other music from the 1990s onwards...

    Christ, that one... In 1996, every 30 year old white woman was issued a copy of her album. Former Canadian teen popster carefully packaged as "Grungy" Everywoman ... it was the Hootie & The Blowfish of feminine angst

    This reminds me of a painting of Michelle Obama.
