So Tired Of Hearing These Awful Christmas Songs


So says Richard Dawson on Boxing Day Sales, released just in time for Christmas and in advance of new album End Of The Middle in February. There's even a fun video to boot, with Richard doing his best impression of Kim Cattrall in Mannequin.

Here are half a dozen other festive offerings, fresh for 2024. Whilst unlikely to bother Wham! and Mariah in the race for Christmas Number One, all are worth a listen. And if I get around to doing another Bad Santa selection this year, then at least a couple of these will probably make the cut.

Disappearing Christmas / Empty Nester: The Disappearing
Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight​)​ (Cover of Ramones): Mattiel
This Wintertime / Purple Snowflakes (cover of Marvin Gaye): Say She She
Last Minute Christmas List / Shirley Hughes Christmas: Neil Brogan
White Christmas (cover of Bing Crosby) / Silence NightLaibach & Silence
Merry Wiffmas! EP: Skeewiff (remixes of festive fare by José FelicianoThe Harvey Averne Band and more, available as a name your price / free download)

  1. Christmas posts seem to start earlier every year. I'll be doing mine in October next year.

    1. Hopefully, these selections weren't like the supermarket mince pies I was seeing in early Autumn, with a best before date that falls short of Christmas Day...!
