Paul McCartney's "Simpy Having a Wonderful Christmas Time".

Worst fucking Christmas song EVER.

3. ...
The lyrics are childish.
The melody is horrid.
That pulsing, dated synthesizer does not belong.
And mainly, this is Paul friggin' McCartney, one half of what's often touted as the greatest songwriting duo of ALL TIME.

I mean, really. If some one-hit wonder were responsible for this annual musical atrocity, we'd be hearing it as much as Shakin' Steven's awful "Merry Christmas Everyone".

5. Good choice.
Ministry'll cleanse that palate.

Perhaps some Crash and Burn or Stigmata?

(Sorry for the earworm.)

9. Tell me about it.
I worked in a record store during the Bodyguard soundtrack's heyday.

There were days when we literally had to play that album all day long.

Believe me, LD, you have my sympathy!

7. Talk about being disappointed in an artist....
I heard it and hated it years before I knew it was Mcartney.

10. From Love Actually

Christmas is All Around Lyrics
Billy Mack

I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes,
Christmas is all around me,
and so the feeling grows

It's written in the wind,
It's everywhere I go,
So if you really love Christmas,
C'mon and let it snow

You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind's made up
The way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
Cuz on Christmas,
You can depend

You gave your presents to me
And I gave mine to you
I need Santa beside me
In everything I do

You know I love Christmas
I always will
My mind's made up
The way that I feel
There's no beginning
There'll be no end
Cuz on Christmas,
You can depend

Cuz on Christmas,
You can depend

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
C'mon and let it show
C'mon and let it show
So if you really love
C'mon and let it
If you really love me
C'mon and let it
Now if you really love me
C'mon and let it show

14. It's real
As Bukowski is my witness, it's real. And it wouldn't be an Enigmatic Holidays w/o it:)
