Christmas Songs!

[Slaggis]

I was just on iTunes and I saw a Christmas Album at number 2 and "All I want for Christmas is you" at number 2 on the singles chart so I got the idea for this thread.

What are your favourite songs at Christmas? Whether they are Traditional or chart songs, tell us!:)

What songs really put you in the mood for Christmas? And what songs make you want to murder the person that's playing them?:santa:

--

My Favourite christmas song is probably "All I want for christmas is you". It always puts me in the mood for Christmas. :)

[ipaul]

Well I wish it could be christmas everyday! I sort of like that one, if only for the nostalgia it evokes more than the rest, but most of them are awful. I hate Merry Christmas Everyone, All I want for christmas is you. White Christmas might be ok if it didn't feel like it was rubbing it in our faces every year =P

[Ashley]

That sleighbells ringing ding ding dingling or whatever that I still don't know the name of is awesome.

And I was looking at The Format's iTunes page and I saw they had a christmas song, Holly Jolly Christmas, and I downloaded it. Its rad (im going back to the 90s man!)

Fairytale of New York! Best EVAR!!

[chrizkerr2]

Shakin' Stevens ftw!

[welsh_gamer]

What a coincidence. I just started playing Christmas music today :grin:

Fairytale Of New York - Pogues & Kirsty MacColl
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard
A Winter's Tale - David Essex
Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade
Stop The Cavalry - Jona Lewie
Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid (Original, as the new one suck's because of that rap)

[gaggle64]

I prefer traditional carols, all the usual holly-jolly pop crap just gets shoved so constantly down your throat every year. Five minutes spent in Woolworths drives me insane. Even Fairytale of New York, which is saying something.

Mad World from the Donnie Darko soundtrack is still the best Xmas No. 1 by a reasonably large margin.

I forgot that song! You're right, definitely the best Xmas Number 1.

[The Bard]

Favourite Christmas songs?

Biblebasher, Blame it on God, Crucified for thy inno.....

I mean...I quite like Silent Night actually, cause there's this carol service that my mates do every year, and they're really quite fantastic. It's like a cliche, but I still love hearing it.

Though I like that song, I'm pretty sure Another Brick in the Wall was no1 of 1979 so I would have to disagree =P

[JonSt]

Fairytale of New York.

Awesome video as well.

[Paj Meen Ah]

All I Want For Christmas Is You
Some of the traditional ones.

I hate Slade, Wizzard etc.

I like songs themed around winter and december more, like "Winter" by Tori Amos and "December" by Regina Spektor. (:) )

[Strider]

A spaceman came traveling - Chris de burgh

or Fairytale of New York.

[Charlie]

I forgot that song! You're right, definitely the best Xmas Number 1.

It's not really a Christmas song though, is it?

Though I like that song, I'm pretty sure Another Brick in the Wall was no1 of 1979 so I would have to disagree =P

Anyway...

Bohemian Rhapsody which was the 1991 Christmas no.1 is much better than any of them.

[Dyson]

Fairytale of New York.

Awesome video as well.

Obvious win.

[gaggle64]

That song looses some of it's lustre once you realise it's actually conformist propaganda.

We don't need no thought control.

Ah I wasn't aware that was a christmas number 1, now I'm not sure.

[gaggle64]

Yes, but most "Christmas" songs are pieces of such unimaginative, holly jolly bull shit. Listening to them is like sitting in a posh restaurant pretending to read the wine list while your two long time friends make snide comments to each other as their divorce draws ever nearer.

[Charlie]

Ah I wasn't aware that was a christmas number 1, now I'm not sure.

It's the only song to have been Christmas number 1 twice. The original version in 1975 and then again the year Freddie died in 1991.

[Iun]

Winter Wonderland. Or White Christmas.

But I really prefer Christmas Carols.

[Letty]

The Darkness - Christmas Time :D


Its so bad its good!

[CoolFunkMan]

The Darkness - Christmas Time :D


Its so bad its good!

Lol, I thought it was great for it's cheezyness, it just took the piss so much. Fantastic! :D

Some of the traditional carols are good too, and you gotta love 'Jingle Bells'.

[Jordan]

I hate Christmas music :D

[Slaggis]

Scrooge!:p


I like that Jingle bell rock song, or whatever it's called too. Well I say like, I mean if I heard any of these songs past December I'd shoot myself, but for christmas they're great.

[Sparko]

I'd have to say 'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" by Andy Williams. I went through a phase of hating Christmas songs because I worked in a supermarket for a few years, so for 2 months a year I used to hear them for 8 hours a day 3 or 4 times a week, but I've finally got over it!

[Dante]

Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard
A Winter's Tale - David Essex
Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon
Father Christmas - The Kinks
Stop The Cavalry - Jona Lewie
She Came Home for Christmas - Mew

[EEVILMURRAY]

Where's the love for Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea?

WHERE IS THE LOVE DAMMIT!?
Mad World from the Donnie Darko soundtrack is still the best Xmas No. 1 by a reasonably large margin.
Oh you can eat the finest steamy shit of a elephant right now if you're serious.

Chacarron on the other hand would make an awesome number one.

[Dog-amoto]

WE"RE WALKING IN THE AIR!!!!!

Always reminds me of Christmas,

Also I love In Dulce Jubilo by Mike Oldfield.

As for pure hatred, would have to be Last Christmas by Wham. It's got absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, the lyrics are awful and it's just cringeworthy bad.

[Scarf Face]

Chris Rea- Driving home for christmas

Reminds me of driving home to Liverpool from Leicester, lovely memories.

Garmin Commercial FTW

[mcj metroid]

BAND AID!......

[killthenet]

Ashley : That song you are thinking of is called "Sleigh Ride". There are countless versions of it, but in my opinion you should check out the version by The Ronettes.

[somme]

Christmas songs should be banned. They're all horrible.

[Roostophe]

Merry Christmas Everyone - Slade
I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard
Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid (Original)
I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake
Stop The Cavalry - Jona Lewie
Fairytale of New York - Pogues ft. Kirsty MacColl

[The fish]

Merry Christmas Everyone - Slade

That song should be banned, and Slade be shot.
The CIA will still use it as a method of "interrogation" (read: "torture"), though...

No it shouldn't. Noddy Holder is an absolute fucking Legend! :nono:

[bluey]

i've had "fairytale of new york" in my head ALL DAY >__< but its not a bad one as far as christmas songs go - i like it - it says "life's a bit crap sometimes but merry christmas!" :)
i've discovered that if you sing the first 3 words of "do they know it's christmas time?" at random intervals throughout the day while at work you can REALLY annoy your co-workers ^__^
MWO-HHAHAHAAAA

[Eenuh]

I hate Christmas music :D

Me too, kinda... It's usually just annoying and crappy (all the pop songs). And I've gotten seriously tired of hearing all the carols and stuff.
Can't think of any Christmas music/song I like.

[AeroScap]

I remember 3 years ago we had to analyse a christmas advert and it had this song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfEGETyGjs
Must have watched it like 40 times....

Ps~ luff the chrimbo hat on the cat eenuh even though it wasnt on the original:yay:
