Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney is just the most stupefyingly lazy and annoying song and people just play it 😤 n every single Christmas playlist because it's Paul McCartney.

I feel like he sat down at an electric piano and decided to use every single novelty noise it could make

The Yamaha CS-80 was absolutely revolutionary for its time. Vangelis called it the greatest synthesizer ever made and used it extensively on both the Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire sounds tracks - the latter winning him an Oscar.

The irony of McCartney making the abominable Wonderful Christmastime with it is not lost to synth lovers.

That’s fascinating - I had no idea it was the same piece of equipment that Vangelis used!

The Paul McCartney song is a perfect example of the old adage “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”

this was on the very first CD I ever owned. the rest of the songs were so ridiculously bad that I played Wonderful Christmastime on loop.

I apologize for having put this energy into the universe.
