I HATE THAT SONG SO MUCH
― KMFAO (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 19:32 (ten years ago) link
According to Wikipedia Macca earns $400,000 a year from it. I don't hate the song exactly, but it's such a nothing song, who would have thought he'd coin so much from it?
Anyway, continuing with the Christmas theme in my local circle of Hell shopping centre: 'Step Into Christmas' by Elton John. Which somehow I find more tolerable than 'Wonderful Christmastime', but still, it's not a track I'd choose to listen to.

"I Was Born On Christmas Day" by Saint Etienne while I was shopping for pillows and an 8" square cake pan. This made me irrationally giddy and eager as it is my 2nd favorite Christmas song, and my best friend and I danced in a really sad and decrepit part of the Seasonal section together.

Not heard while shopping, but the someone on the local radio station clearly has a sense of gallows humour because the day after Trump won they played D:Ream's 'Things Can Only Get Better' (Labour used it as their campaign song in the 1997 UK General Election).
