Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney is just the most stupefyingly lazy and annoying song and people just play it 😤 n every single Christmas playlist because it's Paul McCartney.

    I feel like he sat down at an electric keyboard and decided to use every single novelty noise it could make

    The Yamaha CS-80 was absolutely revolutionary for its time. Vangelis called it the greatest synthesizer ever made and used it extensively on both the Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire sound tracks - the latter winning him an Oscar.

    The irony of McCartney making the abominable Wonderful Christmastime with it is not lost to synth lovers.

    I have a theory that he’s not singing “simply having a wonderful Christmastime,” he actually saying “simply HALVING a wonderful Christmastime.” Every time he says it in that stupid irritating way he does, he’s halving it again and again, like the half-life of a radioactive element. He’s subjecting Christmas wonder to radioactive decay, until all that’s left is an inert lump of lead.

    this was on the very first CD I ever owned. the rest of the songs were so ridiculously bad that I played Wonderful Christmastime on loop.

    I apologize for having put this energy into the universe.
