christmas un-tuneage
This afternoon, I was doing terrible things to my xmas playlist on spotify. I tend to add entire albums/most played songs in batches, then go through and delete when I listen to the playlist. today, searched for a song, it was on a christmas album, so I added the christmas album and proceeded to listen it. Discovered a couple of really good songs as I did, and some real horrors. And made a game of it (whilst horrifying twitter), seeing how long I could last before deleting it in the name of toughening up my aural torture parameters. It all started with Ronan Keating's version of 'Fairytale of New York'...
Standouts so far:
Michael Bolton's White Christmas. I lasted 1:30. I'm very proud. (okay, so the first 30s were instrumental. STILL.)
The trio of Nsync, Backstreet Boys, and Britney. Britney's was fascinating. line-for-line re-wording of Mariah Carey's 'All I want for christmas' without the fabulous tune and voice.
Toni Braxton : a 90s flashback of truly MoR RnB.
An Elvis track that I'd never heard before and it seems there was a reason....
No, you can't make me like Little Drummer Boy even if Johnny Cash is singing it...
