    1. It’s not that I want it to happen, not at all, but wouldn’t it be impressive if Mariah Carey…?

      Avoid them songs. In fact, wouldn’t it be great if retail spaces were prohibited from playing them between 1 November and 1 March?

    3. There are 49,000 songs with the word “Christmas” in the title. Hundreds of thousands more songs that can be closely attributed with the holiday. So statistically there should be over 500 artists in the graphic. 3 is nothing.

    4. Before I read the text I thought this was going to be a post about how George Michael looks like if Dean Martin and Eartha Kitt had a child, and I can’t unsee how perfectly it fits.

      I think most artists from the mid-to-late 20th century have a christmas song of some sort, so statistically SOME of them are going to die on christmas.

      These songs are particularly popular christmas songs (in some rendition or another), so still pretty weird.

    6. Just because you use the word Christmas in your song doesn’t make it a Christmas song George.

      One of Prince’s biggest songs has a line in the chorus:

      *Are we going to let the elevator bring us down?*

      *Oh no, let’s go!*

      It’s repeated three times in the song. He probably performed it a thousand times in his life. Guess where he died?

      In his elevator.
