bear in mind, i think train's 'drops of jupiter' is one of the greatest songs ever recorded
Confession:
I absolutely, positively do not think Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmas Time' is the worst holiday song ever released. Nothing about this song annoys me. Nothing. In fact, I just played it three times while writing what may possibly be the shortest blog post I've ever created here.
Make that five. I wanted to bask in the lyrics. Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding.
Now, I'm not going to try and do something radical like try and convince you Scrooges out there who claim to hate this song that you're wrong (subliminal message insertion: YOU ARE), but I think if you were honest with yourself, deep down, you'd realize you like this song, too, and when you come to terms with that, we can hold each other gently and smile lovingly at each other, which I think was the only thing Paul wanted us to do when we heard this song. I give you this to listen to:
When you're ready, my arms are open. The mood is right. The spirit's up.

I, for one, like the song because at least it's original. Then again, I also love 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'
I'm sorry. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. *MY* least favorite Christmas song, though, is Bruce Springsteen's Santa Clause is Coming to Town. That song goes on FOREVER. Just end it already!!
Of course, Do They Know It's Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas songs, so I'm probably kind of weird.
Listen. . . You know I love you. And you know I love Sir Paul, and 99.999% of all the music he ever made.
And I don't necessarily say that this is the worst Christmas song ever; it's possible that there are worse ones (I mean, I haven't heard them all). . .
But. . .
(*choking*)
(*gagging*)
(*retching*)
I do not like it, Sam-I-Am. . .
But you know I love you, right? ;)
oh heck, paul doesn't even make a distant blip on my horrible christmas song radar. do they know it's christmas ranks #1 for "serious songs." dominic the itlaian christmas donkey ranks #1 for "silly songs."
I can actually feel my soul boil when I listen to this song.
I do not like Paul without John.
I do not like Wonderful Christmas Time.
These are my truths. I'm not giving into you even for a hug.
My punishment for this comment? valedali as a word veri.
Every time you listen to that song, one of Santa's reindeer explodes.
I puffy heart cheesy Christmas songs. Thank you for this one!
nuttin' wrong with liking any Christmas song.
That song is EVIL and Paul McCartney is the DEVIL and I don't care what you or anyone else says I just HATE HIM and his ASS FACE.
Love, Me.
Wow - I kind of hate to come after Bejewell and say I like Paul. She scares me a little.
What makes me laugh is this video. It is so deliciously 1979, what with the cheesy effects and giant exploding present. Hilarious!
Much as I love you, I'm not falling for your subliminal messages; I won't go so far as to say it's the worst, but it's in the running.
Great song, thanks for sharing.
SIMPLY. HAVING. A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME. SIMPLY. HAVING. A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME.
THE CHOIR OF CHILDREN SING THEIR SONG. THEY PRACTICED ALL YEAR LONG.
DOO DOOT, DOO DOOT DOO. DOO DOOT, DOO DOOT DOO.
I've always liked this song, and still do. The only Christmas song I truly HATE (and I mean hate) is All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth, by Alvin and The Chipmunks.
That, in my opinion, is a stinker.
I still don't like it, much as I love you. Thinking of you & your MIL and hoping for no more 6:00 a.m. phone calls.
The only Christmas song that bugs me seems to be The Little Drummer Boy. The whole pa-rum-pa-pa-pum thing gets old.
OH no-- this one doesn't bother meat all (do I get a cookie or a cheese puff now?). But there are others far more EVIL!!!!!!!!
I actually LOVE this song. I think my fave one though is "Last Christmas". There are only two Christmas songs I truly hate, and they are the one about the Christmas shoes, and the one about wanting a hippopotamus.
I found you from Adventures of the Grigg Boys. I love your site. I’m going to poke around a little bit, but don’t worry I’ll put everything back where I found it!!
I love this song. Who hates this song? Jews? No no, that can't be it.
Nazis? Maybe.
People who don't simply have a wonderful xmas time? Figures.
