Close this SOFIA, Bulgaria—British pop group Wham!'s 1984 hit single "Last Christmas" was voted most annoying Christmas song in a poll in Bulgaria, beating Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas," organizers said Monday.
A total of 28,110 Bulgarians said the Wham! hit was the song they least wanted to hear this year in the ballot on the campaign's website http://www.nohohoho.org/.
"Every song gets disgusting when you hear it for the 172,395th time," one voter, Bambi, commented.
"I think these songs are the reason for Christmas depressions and suicides," added another pollster, Yordan Stamenov.
Not everyone agreed.
This campaign is imbecile. It is these songs that make Christmas," said another pollster, Sasho.
Despite the vote, the two picks were listed by the website www.gigwise.com as the most downloaded Christmas songs this year, judging by figures collected by OVI music stores.
We don't know why people get more suicidal during winter season. I believe it is not even connected to the Christmas songs that some commenters wanted to believe (they have no data).
ReplyDeleteBased on experience, i think it could be the gloomy ambiance that winter brings (dark, hazy and lonely daytimes; longer nighttimes).
You have a point geekcatholic.
