I see that it can be very divisive. Let's see what the TiBB consensus is.

It's okay. It seems to me too much of a drinking song, and about the effects of alcohol to like that much, though, when I think about it, I can appreciate that it is actually about something, and tells a story.

I like the Always On My Mind cover by the Pet Shop Boys, that beat it to Number One, better.

My favourite Christmas song is Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid.

Love it! The ultimate "it's Crimbo we're all pissed let's have a sing song" song.

Scarlett. 17-12-2017 06:28 AM

It's way overrated.

Niamh. 17-12-2017 10:31 AM

Love It, it's my favourite Christmas song

Ant. 17-12-2017 12:38 PM

Second only to "All I Want for Christmas is You", Third to "Grandma Got Ran over By a Reindeer"

Ashley. 17-12-2017 01:26 PM

What NIamh said, my favourite.

Daniel. 17-12-2017 01:49 PM

Yes a bop

This, it’s in a song, hardly offensive when people sing

Firewire 17-12-2017 01:55 PM

Also I've never understood why the n-word is always censored in songs but f*ggot isn't.

It's almost as if the n-word has historical implications to it or something. I don't like rap music so I don't really know how common it is in songs, but I'm almost certain this is the only song with "faggot" in it. Incidentally, it's not only used for gay guys:

joeysteele 17-12-2017 05:09 PM

It's okay, like its melody.
Not one I'd listen to much however, never been a liked Christmas song of mine.

Crimson Dynamo 17-12-2017 05:12 PM

How is trash to point out words can have multiple meanings?

From the context of the song, it's clear she means he's a "repellent male", rather than gay, matching the definition I posted upthread.

Jamie89 17-12-2017 06:33 PM

Love it :love: Easily the best Christmas song

EspeonBB 17-12-2017 06:46 PM

It's OK, but Mariah and Wham have the best Xmas songs
