What Christmas song gets your back up?

[Rich1878]

The one about domestic violence and drug abuse.

Fair tale of New York?

 

[Bryan+]

Fair tale of New York?

Yep

 

[Tommy Chong]

Yep

Not this one, mate?

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Another rock n roll Christmas....

 

[Bryan+]

And that miserable snowman song.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Anything by Michael Bublé, or any of these so called 'new generation crooners' who are trying to cash-in at year-end by making a cringeworthy Xmas album.

 

[Professor Toffee]

I like most of them, but Shaken Stevens 'Merry Christmas' always seems to get me in the mood

The video is a bit odd, to say the least

 

[chrismpw]

Anything where Mariah Carey is handed a microphone and told to wail until she gets near a note.

Anything that just repeats the word Christmas thinking that makes a Christmas song.

 

[Kurt.]

The vitali mykolenko one Katie Melua sings

he said gets his back up

[Rich1878]

not get up

Yeh mate, I'm now already fully aware

 

[Tommy Chong]

The one that's a duet, that was once considered a light-hearted, tongue in cheek Xmas tune, but now it's been banned because it's supposedly about date rape?

You know, where the birds trying to leave, but the man passively-aggressively forces her to stay at his place...

'Baby, it's cold outside'. That's the one. Which you think it's rubbish that it's been banned.

Until you read the lyrics :

(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside
(I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what's your hurry
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry
(Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour

(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby ,don't hold out
[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

(I simply must go) But, baby, it's cold outside
(The answer is no) But, baby, it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow
(At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died
(I really can't stay) Get over that hold out

[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

Paints a different story when you read it in that context!

Correct.
