Mariah got dealt just as much crap as Britney back in the day, if not more. Letting her annoy the crap out of us as the Queen of Christmas for 2 months every year is the least we can do.
I would listen to this song EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR if it meant erasing that horrible "Christmas shoes" song from existence. What a morbid, self-fellating piece of shit that is. It's supposed to be "touching" and what it amounts to is a kid's dad NOT having him spending precious moments with his dying mother. Instead he's out panhandling pennies so he can get shoes. Apparently to tart up mama's corpse to meet Jayzus. Because GOD FORBID she not look pretty. FUCK that song pisses me off.
You know what you do when your mom is dying? You go down the highway at UNDER 90. Because you tell yourself to calm down and relax because getting YOURSELF killed isn't gonna help her. You marvel at the idiot who passed you by like you're standing still because whatever they're on their way to can't be THAT important. You try to be there one last time for her so she's not alone - even if the rest of your family's there. YOU DON'T LET A KID OUT TO GET FUCKIN' SHOES.
Nope, that's not just the Elseworld. I have that album right here. Used to belong to my grandparents - who were quite hip dudes back when accordian polka was hip too.
Despite the meme, I donβt hear it that much. I got hit with it for the first time in 2 years in a target the other day. I was boppin hard to it, love that song.
The store I work in is in full Christmas music mode. I hear a mix of country and Christmas music all day long. The Christmas music is about the same 10 songs and this is one of them. I hear this song about 4 times a day
I don't mind the Christmas songs but since there's 20+ different versions of every Christmas song would it kill them to add some more versions into the mix instead of just 1 or 2?
Itβs mainly retail workers (which is a lot of people) who hear it every 10 minutes for 2 months. Also people have slowed down playing it. But ya I didnβt hear it until the 2nd this year. Heard it 3 times since. I donβt work retail
Iβm reminded of the song WAY more by the memes than actually hear it. Pretty ironic that itβs a meme cuz it was overplayed but now itβs not and memes are overused.

To be fair of all the songs I have recorded none of them as Christmas themed unless you count the one about fisting.
Dannoboyo
All the major radio stations around here play a cover of her version now, and play other songs from her Christmas album instead.
PedroPaisan
We could do a duet and have Christmas cancelled completely!

witheredspoon
Yeah, its not really HER fault she released a popular song. You gotta put it on the department stores who won't stop overplaying it.
IamAlbertPotato
I heard Snoopys Christmas yesterday, so there is that
BillHubbard
It's not Mariah's fault. It's the people who nowadays select it to be played.

I feel that with so many things that people seem to be annoyed with, but not this song.
Every time I turn on the radio in december or walk into a store, I hear it. I open youtube, a cover of this song in the Mario 64 soundfont appears.

Anyone that has worked retail knows the pain of having good songs ruined by hearing them 10,000 times on repeat in a place they donβt want to be.

I have only heard her album at an office party three years ago, they had it on the whole time. I work somewhere else now.

Itβs goes top 10 on billboard every December. Just because you arenβt hearing it doesnβt mean it isnβt getting played a shitload
