THREE best, in fact.

'I was born on Christmas Day' by St. Ettienne.

I am truly, truly shocked. The last song on that list that I have heard is $%#^$%@ Mr Blobby, with the exception I suppose of the 'Do They Know Its Christmas' remake, although I'm not sure I ever actually heard that. Fifteen years since the last time you lot had a Christmas number one I've heard of! But looking at that list, I'm real glad I left.

Bob the builder should be walking away with this.

You've not heard of Earthsong? Mad World was from Donnie Darko so you'd know that as well if you'd seen it?

 

[rospants]

who picked Leon Jackson!!!

 

[Winker]

The seventies were the best decade - Cliff Richard never made it to Number One at Christmas!

 

[Questions]

Band Aid - with the unforgetable lyrics which claim
'There wont be snow in Africa this Christmas'

I think you`ll find some on Killimanjaro throughout december.

What an embarrassing reflection on people today. Look at al the classic christmas songs in there, and the crap that we get nowadays. Summed up by the fact that all the last 3 years number 1s have been the X Factor winners' singles. Either it's a massive coincedence that all three songs were brilliant, or it's simply a indication that people really have no taste of their own!

Not a coincidence, X-factor is timed to guarantee the winner Christmas number one.

There's always one eh Trufflehound!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Mathis, innit

 

[Trufflehound]

There's always one eh Trufflehound!

I think of it more as a: Will every song that ISN'T called "Mr Blobby" take one step forward now.
