I know others have mentioned it
and I have already voted for it, but I have to redouble my opinion and tell you that since merely reading about Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time here yesterday, it has been swirling around my head and I am now ready to kill him with a brick. It's like some frightful viral advertising jingle. Trite, twee, monotonous...ARRRGGHH!!!

I can also say that being stuck in a queue in a shop that was playing Christina Aguilera's skanky Christmas album last year was one of the most musically harrowing experiences of my life. I had to go back the next day and I got it all over again. Torture. What's wrong with singing the friggin' melody line??!! Some songs were almost unrecognisable. Singing that crap is such hard work for her that she makes it hard work to listen to.

Any wonder the shop worker's union here wants something done about the psycho-terrorism of Christmas carols.
