There's nothing more calculated to get me out of the Christmas spirit than that "song" whose chorus goes something like:

"Simply, ha-aving, a wonderful Christmas time.
Simply, ha-aving, a wonderful Christmas time."

And it repeats and repeats and repeats AND REPEATS until I want to scream. And there's synthesizer music. The singer sounds like he has a range of maybe half an octave and the whole effect is vaguely British boy-band, although I may be doing British boy-bands an injustice there.

[ETA: tylerpistol and calebbullen tell me it's Paul McCartney and Wings. Grrrrrrr to Paul McCartney and Wings, I say!]

Anyway, if you get a Christmas card from me that seems a little random, that'll probably be why.

In much happier news, our project manager had her baby yesterday! A little early. It's a 6-lb girl. We are all quite excited.

Oh man, that song is by Paul McCartney and I actually like it! The synthesizers are the best part!

But... but... but it's HORRIBLE! And stoooopid!

I hate that song. Paul McCartney should be burned at the stake for it and the members of Wings, round up and put in the stocks.

Let me know where the lynch mob's meeting.

I think that's Paul McCartney & Wings, actually.

With an ampersand?

I find the ampersand adds an extra touch of class.

Hiho,

And that's not even the worst part of the song. I *hate* when it goes into:

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong

AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Enough with the frelling ding dongs!!!

Beatles good. Wings not so much. Wings Christmas music very very bad.

Cu,
Andrew

AAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

I went and Googled the lyrics. There's just nothing good about this song. And yet it's played everywhere!
