    That horiffic Slade song would be nice.

    Actually for the sake of everyone who has had to work retail can we just ban the lot?

    Well fook them, I've just pulled Christmas FM from my car's presets.

    It's the cultural-Marxist-feminist axis again trying to ruin Christmas for the Broflakes.

    Next to get the chop is Fairy Tale of New York over the inclusion of the word "******". These type of people won't be happy until all Christians are executed I think.

    As long as Grandma got run over by a Reindeer is not pulled

    Of course, The name 'Christmas FM' is exclusionary in what is now a multi faith (and no faith) society, but I wouldn't be one to make a fuss.

    Unfortunately we are living in a snowflake society. Seems like you can’t get out of bed these days without offending someone. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 340 ✭✭Dr_serious2


    Catholic Church did a lot of banning in its heyday. They also spent a lot of time telling people there was only one way to think on the issues of the day and that anyone who differed from it should be excluded from social discourse.

    The 'tolerant' politically correct types can't see any similarities but they seem just the same to me.

    What about Santa Baby. That relationship seems very abusive of the man involved.

    And I saw Mammy Kissing Santa Clause never mentions that Santa consented to this assault.

    And what about

    Grandma got run over by a reindeer - Clear case of Elder abuse

    Away in manger - child abuse any child in a manger needs to be taken into care.

    Auld Lang Syne does not promote responsible drinking

    The first Noel mentions Israel and not a word about the oppressed Palestinian people

    Santa Clause is coming to town makes a hero of a man revelling in violating the GDPR regulations

    Oh Christmas tree promotes deforestation.



    Basically people need to get over themselves. This actually hurts the #metoo movement.

    If I had a car, and a radio in it, I definitely wouldn't have preset a Christmas radio station on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,841 ✭✭✭lertsnim

    I fairness, the female character does get a bit rapey on the second part of the song. Poor guy just wants to get away from her. It's a bad message to be sending out to anyone impressionable enough to listen to Xmas FM.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,737 ✭✭✭Yer Da sells Avon


    What next?

    Fairytale of New York, hopefully. They should definitely remove the line after 'you scumbag, you maggot' that some people seem to enjoy putting extra effort into singing. Maybe bleep it really loudly or replace it with the Ronan Keating, Moya Brennan version.

    No particular reason, other than the fact that it would really annoy the kind of people who get annoyed about that kind of thing.
    Well fook them, I've just pulled Christmas FM from my car's presets.

    Just to balance this out - and because I'm even more petty - I've added it to mine. I don't even like Christmas songs, but I'll make sure to listen to it every day now. At some point before the 25th, you'll find me and my car buried in a brick wall.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,474 ✭✭✭Obvious Desperate Breakfasts


    'Last Christmas' would be welcome.

    And ‘Fairytale of New York’, an excellent song that I just cannot listen to anymore. Just too damn overplayed.

    Can Christmas FM just do it properly and remove itself from the airwaves?

    I've heard it played on Xmas FM this year. Is someone telling porkies?

    Fairy tale of New York should be axed too. How dare Shane McGowan shout Kirsty McCall down in that duet!

    No, it's the "you're cheap and you're haggard" song.

    Well.... she does call him a cheap lousy ******, clearly hate speech and should be banned as a result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

    Not mad about the song but I did like the Tom Jones, Cerys Matthews version. That song was played to death on Christmas FM over the years and I've never had a problem with it. It's not offensive, can those who don't like it not just ignore it?
