Holiday Music

Published November 28, 2003 @ 08:21 in My 2 Cents, Radio

EZ Rock 97.3, a horrible local radio station that promises buckets of syrop all day long, is promoting itself as Toronto's original holiday music station. They're playing nothing but Christmas carols from now through December. They're including the word "original" in their billing due to the fact other stations are following suit.

Can there possibly be a demand for 24/7 carols day after day for the next month? Do these stations intend to repeat the same 40 minutes of music over and over again? I mean, how many decent holiday songs are there? I can come up with about 15 that you could stomach more than once a year and only about five I really like.

According to CHFI, another local crap station that's promising "All Christmas music from now until Christmas", the top 10 Christmas songs are: Wonderful Christmas Time - Paul McCartney, A Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee, Do They Know It's Christmas Time - Band Aid, Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms, Last Christmas - Wham, The Christmas Song - Nat "King" Cole, Do You Hear What I Hear - Whitney Houston and White Christmas - Bing Crosby. I'm sick of them already.

I happen to enjoy the 24 hours of Christas music and I am certain I am not alone. It's only once a year.

The Christmas songs were played from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekend. There is going to be continuous Christmas music the coming weekend, all the way to Christmas day. And, there will be one Christmas song for every three songs on the day after Christmas day.

Bring on the Christmas tunes!! I love it. A little Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas. Faith Hill - Where Are You Christmas. Some strange song about wanting a hippopatamus. It's all in fun. Merry Christmas!!!!

I find Christmas songs to be fun. There are different versions of the same song. For example, the song "Home For Christmas" is sung by Daryl Hall John Oates and Take Three.

The lyrics "makes you wish it was Christmas every day" and the song title "Let's Make Christmas Each Day Of The Year" reminds me that I listen to Christmas songs every day.

...and EZ Rock does not play any non-Christmas songs on Christmas day.

I plan to make the Christmas tapes by recording the two full sides of each tape from EZ Rock.

I can listen to Christmas music every time when I have a party.

I'm fed up with the Christmas music on tape, so I decided to record something else from EZRock.

I changed my mind and decided to listen to some Christmas music on YouTube rather than on tape.

I love these lyrics: "I want to wish you a Merry Christmas", "Soon it will be Christmas day" and "Merry Christmas".

When do you think the continuous Christmas music will begin this year?

I think the station will kick off continuous Christmas music in late November and before December starts.

CHFI plays Christmas music more frequently (in late November and in December only) every year as Christmas Day gets closer.

I personally look forward to it. The season is only once a year, and it is nice to have the Christmas tunes to keep you festive. I love all the songs, and I think that although many of the songs are the same lyrics they are not the same in style and that makes it different.:)
