Scott v Matt and Mollie

[Roy H]

Seemed really odd hearing Mariah on Monday but more so Fairytale Of New York yesterday. I like Christmas but is it just too early for Christmassy songs in November? Please discuss!! :

[Viv]

NOPE!! It is not!! Society already has the Xmas stuff in the shops, the lights about to go on in the streets, it's cold, crisp and wintry outside..... there seems to be rules in radio land about not playing Xmas tunes until December - my local DJ went "nuts" because I sent a text in for a Xmas choon in September, but then.... who cares!!!! Let's break all the stupid traditional rules and get the songs on!! I. hate. rules. (fact).

PS: Scott, if you're reading this, please can you play Madonna's Santa Baby - love that.

That's Madonna's Santa Baby!! thank you so much.

My computer crashed halfway through Fairytale of New York yesterday. Maybe it doesn't like Christmas? (Or maybe it just couldn't cope with BeccyCam...)

[KerryM]

Thank god for Scott playing those chrimbo tunes ! I'm with you Scott - it's NEVER too early in my book.

I heard scott playing Mariahs christmas song and turned off, I dont like christmas songs before december because I like short festivals that have some kind of meaning...I dont want an all year round christmas.

But if you want to be alternative, lets boycott festivities until january and send christmas cards and greetings then... we could be the first to send cards etc in 2010. and then continue to send christmas greetings every day, we could just add it to our signature

[E*F*4L]

shouldn't play xmas songs until December 1st at least

[Behelzebub]

Agree completely with the previous 2 comments. I never listen to any Xmas songs before December 1st and this year will be no exception.

[Viv]

Scott failed to play a song yesterday, giving the Xmas stuff a "rest"... I hope he hasn't bowed to the pressure of the loonies/bores on the text message system damning what he is doing.

[Roy H]

Maybe another one today. I heard Fearne say yesterday that she and Scott are campaigning for early Christmas celebrations this year.

[Viv]

Good. There's gonna be another one today!! I can sense it coming!! :hahaha:

I'm glad the Cotton has managed to do something right as well!!

[Roy H]

Any guesses as to which one? As long as its not Slade or Chris De Burgh I'm not fussed!!

Greg Lake maybe? :?:

[Viv]

Either Madonna's Santa Baby (to keep me happy :hahaha:), or Wham's Last Xmas.

Who is Greg Lake??

[Roy H]

Yep, both acceptable. Jona Lewie and The Waitresses are more no-nos.......

Greg Lake was a member of ELP (Emerson Lake and Palmer) and did "I Believe In Father Christmas" - top song IMHO

[Roy H]

Check Greg Lake out here..........

[DarkAngelMJH]

Nah it's not too early for the occasional one every now and again. Cheers you up sometimes!

Doesnt cheer up those of us who utterly detest all this Christmas nonsense

I was so bored in work today it helped me

[YoppaDo]

Managed to hear All I want for Christmas on Monday whilst on the train, and probably embarrassed myself humming along happily, with a Cheshire Cat grin glossing over. Not heard the other days though, I'm thinking once a week is more than enough before December.

i think scott is taking the piss out of all the money making shops and so fourth who bring christmas early for their own benifit. by the time it gets here, nobody will give a fuck becuase it's worn out by december 20th.

[Nik B.]

As far as I'm concerned, The red cups are back at Starbucks, I've had my first mince pie of the year, and the lights in Chapelfield are on. In short, not too early

[cxx666]

Does the thought of christmas ever go away really? its probably worse for those of us in retail who see presents, wrap, cards etc arriving on the lorries around August, then that runs right through till december/january when the sales are on.

To me its all commercial nonsense, if i wantd to buy someone a present I would buy them it anyway. My ex and certain members of her family were of the view you had to get people something at christmas and you had to spend a lot to show you cared. Thanksfully dont need to bother with that for the first time in years so it'll just be a couple smal things for the parents and brother next month

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

Personally, I don't think it's too early. It's the only thing that helps me get through all the work at the moment. It makes me want to give up whenever I remember how much I have to do this term but then I remember it's Christmas soon so I technically get quite a long break then. Christmas makes me happy
