You sound like someone that hasn't had to listen to that song on repeat every half-hour of the working day from November to January while serving the dregs of society we call holiday retail shoppers.

Its not about this particular song being good or bad. Practically any other sufficiently popular Christmas song could be a drop-in replacement for all of these memes. We who have worked retail (or retail adjacent public sevice) have trauma related to the circumstances of that seasonal torture.

This song is just a lightning rod because it has become a cultural shorthand for all this. That's what many jokes are by the way, cultural references that relieve tension around a group's shared trauma. That is exactly what memes are. This opinion boils down to, "I don't like this meme, because it is a classic meme and I don't like memes because they are memes."

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day,
you gave it away.
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Special)

What amuses me about this take is that the jokes about the song being played all the time fall prey to the exact same overexposure mechanism that made people dislike the song in the first place. As the song gets more commonly perceived as being overexposed, the idea of its overexposure itself becomes more and more popular until it is itself perceived as overexposed. Like a memetic echo.

Let it all out. 🙏
