I am thoroughly bored by the same ten songs being rolled out everywhere I go.

However, if pushed to choose a Christmas favourite it might be good old working class everywoman Mariah Carey with

All I want for Christmas.

 

You wanna try working in a supermarket! All day, every day the same songs on a loop. Drove me insane.

Having said that I think the best one is Shakin Stevens Rock n Roll at Christmas. Feel good factor and gets the feet going.

Mr Hankey, The Christmas Poo
Small and Brown, he comes from you
Sit on the toilet, here he comes
Squeeze and tween your festive buns!
A present from down below
Speading joy with a 'howdy ho'!
He's seen the love inside of you
Cos he's a piece of poo!

"Merry Christmas everyone" by Shakin Stevens.  I think you are thinking of Gary Glitter "rock and roll Christmas"

I didn't know that one was by Gary Glitter. I always thought it was Shakin Stevens. Urggh. Not listening to that again then. Cheers for pointing that out Bathram.

You are very welcome. I must admit I skip that one when it comes on. I do like the Shaky one though.

St Etienne and Tim Burgess (of the Charlatans) - Born on Christmas day.

Weirdly that must be one of the last even vaguely successful xmas songs in chart terms? It feels like all the iconic xmas songs came between 1972 and 1992 - nothing since then that you would label as iconic

Don't Shoot Me Santa - The Killers

Christmas was better in the 80's - The Futureheads

It's Clichèd to be Cynical at Christmas - Half Man Half Biscuit

All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit - Half Man Half Biscuit

White Christmas - Iggy Pop

A Snowflake Fell (And it Felt Like a Kiss) - Glasvegas

Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie

I Wish it was Christmas Today - Julian Casablancas

Frosty the Snowman - The Ronettes

Fairytale of New York - The Pogues/Kirsty MacColl

Aforementioned Wedding Present and Saint Etienne ones are worth a spin as well.

Have a like for the Glasvegas reference mate, top band!! 

As Christmas is essentially an overblown cheese-fest...got to be East 17; Stay Another Day..with its 'don't you say it's the final kiss'...mwah. ..video which is awesome ? 

When you realise it - in reality - has a really sad story to go with it  I think it gets my vote!

A hideous song that reminds me every Christmas that I'm a lonely singleton, thus making Christmas a thoroughly depressing time of the year. Ban it.
