Christmas songs you are sick of.

I have heard it once so far. But any respect I had for it has been battered out of me. So long Fairytale of New York. It was fun, once.

"Talking's for lesbians" Psycho Paul 2011.

Nice choice and add to it the dreadful Happy Xmas (War is over)

Fairytale is certainly one that has been killed for me too, but I absolutely insist that we have no Christmas songs on in the house at all. In particular Slade and Wham...

The only sound I love at Christmas is brass band, but then I am a northerner, and it's slapped in the DNA.

Any Cliff or McCartney xmas song.
They're like being waterboarded with syrup.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was.
Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary

Anything rehashed by a boy/girl band, sung by Cliff Richard, or anything remotely to do with Louie Walsh or Simon Cowell.

Close to the ipod or CDs being played and the radio switched off for a month....

All Xmas songs are just wrong until Thursday, then they're allowed, loud and continuous

Don't likeany of the X factor xmas songs though, they've ruined the excitement of the Xmas number one for me

I must say I do have a penchant for the originals, but remakes make my skin crawl. Just today Greg James played Joe Mceldrey's cover of Chris Rea' 'Driving home for christmas'. That song was written for Chris' gravelly tones, not the balls-in-a-vice no hoper. Dreadful.

I'll come out and say I like the tunes when they're few and far between, but when they're repeated ad nauseum, particularly on the soulless commercial stations, they begin to grate
