IATTBYB Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 The office has been tuned in to a radio station that has been playing Christmas tunes for the last 2 weeks or so. Without going off on a tangent as to how this epitomizes how over-commerialized the Holiday Season has become, this damn station plays that god-awful McCartney Christmas song at least once every two hours. If I hear those inane lyrics and annoying synthizer track once more (and I will prior to 1:30 p.m. today) I just might . I think I'd rather hear "Ebony and Ivory" at this point.

MattZ Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 You might be able to convince me that McCartney wrote the best song of all time and the worst song of all time. I mean, that's saying something right there. Yesterday and that Christmas Song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many Sir P songs that I just abhor - and so many others that are so damn good that you thank God you're alive to hear 'em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DISCLAIMER: I know, he's done some fantastic stuff since then, right up to this year; it was a joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Thank you. The power of Maybe I'm Amazed will always overcome the power of that Christmas song. Always. It's like good vs evil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I love his Christmas tune! Much better than, say, MULL OF KINTYRE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i'm a Mull fan. I love the bagpipe, there, I said it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just don't understand why the only single thats sold more copies in england than "Mull of Kintyre" is "Bohemian Rhapsody". How was it so popular? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Wonderful Christmastime is literally the most egregious song ever penned by a rocksmith. No other lump of coal that Macca's produced is even in the same stratosphere. I also worked in an office where I had to hear this song two or three times a day for weeks at a stretch. Talk about torture... it's like a fucking Casio developed self-awareness and decided to take over mankind in the most passive way it could imagine: by slowly driving it insane during the Christmas season.

How was it so popular? I remember reading that in the issue of LIFE magazine that featured the boys when the Anthology came out. I thought it had to be a misprint because I had never even heard of Mull of Kintyre. And to this day, I still think I have never heard it. Crazy Brits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 i'm a Mull fan. I love the bagpipe, there, I said itI kind of like Mull of Kintyre, too. I'm much more concerned about this: The office has been tuned in to a radio station that has been playing Christmas tunes for the last 2 weeks or so.WTF?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
