Video #16: "Wonderful Christmas Time" - Paul McCartney
Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 11:00 AM
This is, quite possibly, the most annoying Christmas song ever. I don't think anyone on the planet likes it except for me. Paul McCartney probably doesn't even like it. The only song more annoying than this one (and also one that I shamelessly listen to come every December) is Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

I still contend that "Jingle Bell Rock" is more annoying. That song says the word "jingle" way too much.

@3 Ack! So I did. Thanks for catching that! Fixed it. And now let's watch it together. And sing, and dance, and tune out the naysayers.
(@2 You make a compelling argument... but I think this one is slightly more annoying. If only because it's Paul McCartney and I expected so much more from him. Even circa 1978.)

I'm one of the few who love this song.
I hear it and it does remind me that it is Christmastime and to simply have a wonderful one.
It might not sound like YOUR Christmas, but it sure sounds like mine.
The song that I never think sounds like Christmas is Elton John's "Step Into Christmas."

I too share the love for this ditty. Brings back fond memories of my sister and I dancing around the house circa 1979 or so. Plus the strange yowl about 3/4th of the way though....what is that about?

I can't believe all of you like this song! Where have you been all my life!? We should have a gang. Or at the very least, a dance crew. And we can perform a synchronized dance to this song at Westlake Center in front of the tree every Christmas Eve.

Minor (at best) Paul. But take that with a truck full of salt: I think 99.9% of all xmas music should be deleted forever.

I had to chime in a little late. I LOVE this song. I was just rockin' it the other day marveling at it's awesomeness. The keyboard sound is perfect and totally original. And something about the recording is a little bit sloppy and immediate sounding, unlike a lot of McCartney. It sounds contemporary and indie. I'm gonna hit play again.
