Curse you Paul McCartney!!!
Now, I know Squishy is a huge Beatles fan, and I quite like them myself. So why would I title a post like I did?
Now, you can argue all you want that Paul is a musical genius, and I won’t argue you. But even Einstein had problems with math at times! I have my own gripes about Christmas music playing too early in the year, but you live with it (I mean, you can’t really avoid it). My wife is notorious for loving Christmas and everything about it, but even she can’t stand this song. It’s only annoying in short bursts, but it seems that department stores have some sort of special 35-minute torture version that they play overhead.
When can we finally retire this sad, sad song?
I thought the song was alright… Until I saw the video that accompanied it. Blech! What’s so christmasy about being high on crack and doing the bunny-hop? And those kids that practiced all year long, Are they on crack too? They can’t even clap in rhythm! Thanks Zuke; now I abhor that song. And the floating choir members was just plain freaky. I’m going to flat out boycott this song. Anytime I hear it I will change the station. And if it’s playing overhead in a department store, I’ll run out and refuse to go back in for at least 35 minutes. Is that overkill!? I think not!
While I can agree that this is a terribly cheesy song you can’t hold the Beatles accountable for it any more than you can claim to hate them after seeing Ringo Star’s epic 1981 film Caveman.
Oh, I never said this song made me hate the Beatles; I still love them!
Just hate the song.
I also now hate this song. While I was never a huge fan of it to begin with, after seeing the video, it is now on my black list.
