The one I always dreaded was "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney. The song already has a ton of weird reverb in it, then to hear it echoing around the mall... Just creepy.

I worked in The Body Shop from 99 to 01. My God, it was like every other song was that song.

Then, from 07-09 at the Apple Store. Same fucking thing.

All I want for Christmas is for Mariah Carey to shut the fuck up

It should be considered a workplace hazard at this point .... and workers should be compensated for it

Around me it’s been “last Christmas I gave you a fart…” by many different artists

Definitely don't need to work retail to hate that song.

They always play those awful christmas songs for well leading up to christmas and well after. I never even liked christmas songs in the first place. Now I absolutely despise them.

Maybe its just local to my area, but I haven't heard that song once this year (so far)

I really wish Pariah Scary would just go away already.

In 1991, I worked at a Christmas tree farm. They had an ancient tube stereo with an 8 track and one single Christmas tape. Volume at 11.

In 1994, I got a job at a newly built Staples. They had no internet and they chouldn't get their satellite connection to work, so they sent us a commercial song box that contained an 8 track of pop songs from the 70's. To this day, I can't listen to Sweet Home Alabama.

There's a reason I hate Christmas music...

Christmas songs are NPC bait, debate me

Na Na Na Na Na Na 🎶

Katamari Damacy! 🎶

Ive genuinely felt the urge to get into politics to get a law passed that any radio station can’t play songs more than once every two days.

This is a matter of mental health for anyone unfortunate to be exposed to this cruel torture.

That one and Four Flicks by The Stones. Fuck, I'm old

you got to invent games to make it fun. Whammageddon. We're having a Queen of Christmas competition where everyone picks an artist and the first time you hear any one of the artists on each day, they get a point, and the person with the most points wins Queen of Christmas (my wife chose Mariah, i chose Andy Williams, my mother chose the entire Harry Simeone Chorale and no one else wanted to play. I thought up the game 5 days ago and the standings are Mariah 2 ANDY 1 Harry 1)

I worked at best buy in the early 2000s for 3 years. It's been 25 years since. I am still traumatized.

nothing compares to living through paula cole during dawson's creek or celine dion during titanic.

At least it's a good song. WHAM! is literally just someone griping over and over in the least rhythmic way possible lmao

I work at Walmart and shockingly haven't heard her once this year.

It could be worse. I've seen a MC cover singer. Not only that she could not really sing, but she was wearing a costume like MC wore in the video. All while having several clothing sizes more....

i loved when mariah carey came on during my shift

These days that song seems like the least of their worries. Between new artists making terrible new Xmas songs and others that may or may not be ai generated.
