I know Radio 2 is virtually yesteryear's Radio 1 but I'm shocked AIWFCIY has attained classic golden oldie status. Perhaps I'm naive to think it still counts as the current thing because of its limpet-like presence in 2020s seasonal hit parades.
Radio 2 started playing all the Xmas songs this week. When I'm driving long distances I always have either Radio 2 or Radio 5 on for traffic reports. Unfortunately I think Mariah is now in the same exalted company as Slade, Wizard and Bing Crosby now when it comes to favourite Xmas songs.

My nine year old son told me he wants to participate even though he said he was Carreyd last week. But said he wasn't official until after Thanksgiving 🤣 So after that he told me that he was going to beat like last year🤣
I'm up for letting him back in. Your boy does have a valid point I suppose. Plus a bit of friendly family rivalry always makes it more fun 😂😂

A few years ago my wife told me to stay in the shower for a few extra minutes because the song was on the radio. :D
Yesterday I was in the bathroom and my wife was calling me into our master bathroom. When I got done I asked what she wanted.

"Nothing. They were just playing your song."

I'm screwed. :scared:
 
2 covers versions playing on my outing today. I get the feeling that the original must be one of very many versions and it’s like playing Russian roulette every time I go into civilisation.
 
Twitch streamer mightve been playing it, I had it muted but the comments were talking the one that shall not be named and backed out to avoid risking it...
 
I'm already eliminated but freaking Mariah is showing up everywhere.

I went to Tower Records in Shibuya hours ago and what did I find in the entrance?

Stack of her christmas album on a table...

I'm this close to flipping that table.
Whenever I hear the song all I say is...
 
I forgot to register before, but I'm checking in to say I'm not out yet. Last year, it took some wonderful site features to eliminate me, I'm keen to see if I get so close again.
Edit: that wasn't last year, it was 2022! I suppose I was still getting over the horror...

I've never even heard of Radio 2 before, seriously I have not in my whole lifetime(33 years).
 
I like opening instagram and checking out the reels of some of the artists I follow to see what sort of new drawings they're making.

After about 10 minutes ago, my enthusiasm for doing so has been shattered, since one dude had to have a Mariah Carey themed version of his OC with that song in the background.

I'm out.

Haven't had a visit from George Michael yet though
 
Deployed my countermeasures in my car since it's December now for my last 3 weeks of work before Christmas holidays. Whether I can survive anyone blasting music on their personal speakers is another matter.
 
Yep, it's the time of year where radio at work goes from Radio 1 to Radio 1 Dance. Basically I should be fine unless one of their promotional sound bites between songs plays the evil song.

Commercial radio stations like Radio X or Capital are no-goes as I A: cannot stand radio advertisements and B: radio adverts are so much more likely to use AIWFCIY in an evening more obnoxious way than anyone else.
 
Well, an unlucky day. I went inside my local Walgreens and heard M.C. singing one of her Christmas songs, so I'm out for now!! Crap.

I'm not entirely sure you get this game.

It's just the one specific song - the original All I Want for Christmas is You, by Mariah Carey - and when you're out you're out. There's no "for now" about it.

Until next year. :D

Speaking of which. I'm out. Accepted my fate while at the mall close my the office while grabbing lunch.
