What's your favourite cheesy Christmas pop song?
Embarrassing to admit, but I'm very partial to Wham's 'Last Christmas' and David Essex's 'Winter's Tale.'

Re: What's your favourite cheesy Christmas pop song?
Not a favourite as such, but that one by Slade has been used in so many ways in the UK for so many years that hearing it makes me nostalgic for Christmases back home. There must be a lot of British Christmas songs that never get played over here, and it is something that I miss as I never realized before how much I associated them with good Christmas memories.

They never did a music video for this song, which is a shame as it is now one of my Christmas favorites.
However, it also seems to be a favorite of those crazy people who link their Christmas lights to Christmas music songs, turning their yards into a disco.

The best thing about living in the USA is that I don't run the risk of hearing that f##### Cliff Richard song when I'm out and about at Xmas.

I hate Christmas!
The closest I came to liking a Christmas song ever was Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas.
I'm flying to Blighty on Christmas Day, which is a double-edged sword. I get away from the American commercialism, but run into two more weeks of it over there!!

They should re-release "Santa Claus is on the dole" in keeping with the times.

And it wasn't till Christmas here, that I realised I wasn't much of a fan of Bing and the rest of the rat pack.
Give me cheesy crap tunes that are easy to tune out

Re: What's your favourite cheesy Christmas pop song?
They never play Chris Rea "Driving home for Christmas" over here, so I miss that one.
I got a cd from England of xmas songs thinking it would be great, but wow, there's some right old shit on there.
Yeah, although Slade is crap, it really does bring back great memories of bouncing around the pub on xmas eve.
