View Full Version : Can Christmas music make you ill?
It's thought that repeated exposure to seasonal songs can be bad for your brain, but is there any truth to the belief?https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/2458d692-b9ee-4afe-b119-9caed3570396?intc_type=mixedcards&intc_location=bbcmusic&intc_campaign=iplayerfooter&intc_linkname=article_christmasmusicmakeyouill_con tentcard13
I was in my local Supermarket today and had to listen to a speeded up version of jingle bells, I ask a assistant where do you keep the suicide booth.
I for one hate seasonal songs and want them all outlawed today.

I'm hanging with a rope round my neck at this moment after hearing the Pogues " Fairytale of New York"

One could argue that some christmas songs are the result of earlier illness...

You mean like the childhood classic "Ring Around the Rosie"?

This is disc 1 of a two disc album that gets plenty of plays during the festive period in the Buna household.

This is a lovely piece for Christmas and, far from making you ill, will have a soothing effect. It contains the beautiful air used for the TV series "A Box of Delights" so please wait for that... it's magical.

Scroll along to 43:00 on this (unless you'd like to hear it all) for another even more beautiful rendition of the famous tune:

This has always been a favourite piece of music of mine

You may have heard that the 1944 song "Baby it's cold outside" is being protested as being a song that encourages date rape.
No, I am not kidding, there are a small number of people who think this and have protested to a few radio stations to request that they stop playing this game.
This, being America, this couple has decided to make a music video parody of this song.

It never ceases to amaze me. Next Frosty the Snowman will be billed as a pedophile.

Ya know, Xmas music wouldn't be so intolerable if there just wasn't so many really, really,bad versions or adaptations of the songs widely played; I, for one have no desire to hear a hip-hop version of "O, Holy Night"...
