After decades of struggling and shouting at what ever sound source is offending me with the constant drip-drip-drip of 'Crhistmas' songs, I have finally reached a level of Zen-like calm.
With much mental discipline, I have even managed to listen to 'Stop the Cavelry' without trying to pul anyone's lungs out but ....
I draw the line at 'Christmas Wrapping' by The Waitresses.
Not because it supposed to be a 'Christmas' song, but because no two notes throughout the entire torture appear to relate to each other, or to any notes before or after.
So, I am a lot better about not pulling my face at this time of year, but this one record is just the living end in horrible naffness - it utterly without merit at this time of year, or any other, when thankfully we are spared.
I love the shops where none of this forced jollity is thrust upon us.
Tinny, twanging music does my nut in. Fortunately I've no idea about the waitresses and as I've no speakers, if some kind soul did enter it, I wouldn't be able to listen and therefore criticize.
Come to my small island, it is very Bah humbug, and not a christmas decoration or tree in sight, and certainly no xmas music!! Mayor is saving money!!!
I had to Youtube The Waitresse as I'd never heard of them, I was quite surprised that I did actually know Christmas Wrapng, god knows what I thought it was called!
I like most of the christmas songs (Slade, Wham etc) but I was in Sainsburys the other day and they were playing that god-awful one by Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews. She sounded like a cat being strangled and even the staff got fed up and switched it off half way through.
