  GET THE GUN CARTER. GET THE GODDAMN GUN

  Not a bad song, but playing it for 2 months straight every year is way too much.

    Yeah, my immediate thought was “Why would anyone voluntarily listen to this song?” and it had nothing to do with the quality of the song.

    I have an annoying neighbour. This annoying neighbour plays loud music throughout the day and sometimes the night too.

    This annoying neighbour also happens to have a wireless charging stand with a built in BT speaker. A BT speaker that requires no authentication, no pairing, no nothing. You can just connect to it.

    This annoying neighbour has been suffering from random bouts of Mariah Carey at the most inopportune times - such as 3am - at max volume. I've even programmed a Bluetooth controller to keep connecting to it and playing the song at random intervals if it gets paused or the volume reduced. And most recently I've been working on figuring out a way to detect when the neighbour plays loud music so I can finally connect the two events in a very obvious way so they finally stop.

    You think hearing it for two months is bad? Try being my annoying neighbour. Doesn't matter if it's July, or February, or September, if it's morning, evening, or barely past midnight, he's getting his Mariah fix, Careyd over the soundwaves.

      I love you

      Your neighbour probably thinks they’re being haunted by a very festive ghost

      You should set it to play an air raid siren/klaxon with a made up emergency news broadcast, like the purge.

    Monkey paw unfurled. November is removed, but December is twice as long

  “I don’t want a bunch of fancy, wonderful things. I just want you.” Wow thanks Mariah.

  This is one of those runaway climate change effects they warned us about. I worry it’s too late to stop it. Next year, it’ll start in August, then June, etc.

  This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. The artist behind “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitting big streams in October is funny, but the punchline about global warming actually stings. Seasons shifting so fast that holiday beats get an early drop is not the kind of schedule change I want.

  Laugh, then get mad enough to do something. Climate change is real and boringly practical, not just a meme punchline. Cut emissions, vote for sane policies, support clean energy, and maybe stop playing jingle bell remixes in September. Otherwise next year Halloween playlists will include sleigh bells.

  Is it just a load of stores/shops immediately switching to generic xmas playlists after Halloween? To me that’s the only reason I could see there to being a sudden spike. This song is bound to be in most of them. But we’d also need to track other popular xmas tracks.

  (I know there used to be significant music licensing issues about what music could be played in a store, to the public. Don’t know if there is some special Spotify business account now?)

    Since when is October 25th after Halloween?

    source

    • dellhiver@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      True. All I can think of is that before it gets to Halloween shops have sold off most of their stock and are in the process of getting all the Xmas stuff out. I’ve been places where they have a Halloween and Xmas mix of songs.

      I’m not ruling out that a few hundred thousand completely random people around the world all decide to listen to Xmas music around the same time. I just think it’s more likely businesses switching to seasonal music as early as possible, and streaming Mariah Carey 20 times a day, causing the big sudden spike.

      October 25th is the date that most stores pull down the Halloween stuff and transition to Christmas stuff. It’s not unusual for most stores to have zero Halloween stuff on the shelves on Halloween.

      The seasonal arrival of Spirit in the many empty commercial buildings has made this worse. Regular stores bring in less merchandize and are often stocking Christmas stuff 2 or 3 weeks before Halloween in my area.

  Always been amazed this song doesn’t get used for Rickrolling during the last two months of each year. It’s a systemic failure.
