She’s entered the warm liquid goo thawing phase
I’m so glad I don’t work retail anymore. Ruined all music for me. I’ve heard every Christmas song at least a thousand times and I can’t listen to All Star by Smash Mouth Anymore.
If it makes you feel any better, I once saw a Smashmouth concert where the lead singer guy got hit in the head by a thrown shoe mid-set and got very pissy about it. It was a total lucky shot.
When I worked retail, I would spend extra time in the HVAC aisle across from the TVs so that I could listen to the Foreigner concert that was always on
fuck the Christmas music tho. I don’t think we played it much thankfully
hey now
some-

Hey, now…
Someone ran the audio of All I Want For Christmas through an audio-to-midi converter, and then played that back with only a piano instrument. The results are hilarious:
I wish there was someone in the world who hadn’t heard the song before so we could test if hearing the lyrics in that is really just your brain vainly trying to save your sanity.
It did faintly sound like the track was running along with it in a couple spots
There are, most people born between January thru September this year haven’t heard the song [citation needed].
Sadly, they likely heard it in the womb or in the case of the most recent will hear it before they are capable of performing the experiment.
Sounds like a drunk pianist on the edge of blacking out while desperately battling between consonance and dissonance.
If I send that to my wife I think I’ll have to cook dinner for a month but it’ll be worth it
Last Christmas by Wham! doesn’t get the hate it deserves either.
My friends and I participate in Whammageddon every years. Last man standing who survives the season the longest without hearing that song wins bragging rights.
I really like that song
Dude, Spirit Halloween started opening locations out here mid August. I’m surprised Mariah isn’t already screeching from the PA systems of every store.
I spotted snowman Peeps on the bottom shelf if the seasonal isle at Walgreens.
Thus begins a terrifying 3 month reign of terror before she abruptly returns to hibernation for the next thawing.
Fuck off, I hate Christmas.
ebenezer scrooge over here
Yes
bah humbug
That’s my line you can’t say it.
oh sorry you can say it
Bah humbug
THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Excuse me, but we have not cast the spells to begin awakening Queen Carey as we will not jointly have enough power until the equinox
Buddy, my country starts playing Christmas songs in September and my workplace have been playing Christmas songs since July
Wtf, that’s sickening; What country? I need to hate it forever.
everytime i post mariah carey in the music community she gets downvoted :(
She’s an exceptionally talented singer, her ability to hit notes higher than anyone else that’s ever been recorded is really fucking cool. And she’s got some really great songs (Someday, Emotions, Fantasy, Dreamlover, Always Be My Baby). But the fucking christmas song is definitely not one of them!
I’m just going to say it, I kind of like her Christmas song, just hearing it once or twice around Christmas is fine (for me).
I don’t listen to radio or watch (cable) TV, so I don’t get bombarded with Christmas songs. It’s like one of those hipster beers with ingredients like strawberry short cake, in small doses it’s fine.
it’s my favorite Christmas song :(
Nothing wrong with that, but surely you can understand why a lot of folks are tired of it by now
i cant actually. i worked retail for 4 christmases and i always loved when mariah carey came on
Several shops here are already sticking Christmas things
Thank god in the Netherlands we first have to have the zwartepieten discussie.
For anyone out of the loop this is a tradition that is changing but some boomers get really mad about changing it.
You gotta make the lips funny
The boomers seem very racist.
Oh yeah heard about him a lot from a bunch of people that insist they are not racist.
I can totally understand, the American example would be.
As a kid you are told about Santa Clause and his little helper elfs.
Now that you are an adult you have learned that the elves are actually based on slaves and the color of their skin is als based on that (let’s just imagine elves and slaves have the same skin color)
To you it’s just an elf and you never associated them with history or slavery. If fact as a kid you are told they have this color from the chimney.
So in reality both are true, people that grew up with zwarte Piet are not necessarily racist, but the entire tradition is based on historical context and therefore racist.
Oh I am sure people growing up with it are generally fine, I mean people that are not Dutch who like to bring it up though.
Me, holding pumpkins: She best stay frozen until November!
