Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Well then, whats it going to be.

Lets discount the X Factor unless its Chico.

My moneys on the JCB Song as unless it is regional they have released it.

I am sure the link and animation was posted here some time ago although I have failed to find it via the search facility.

Basically it is about a young lad going to work with his dad in a JCB with a very clever animated quick time format with "holding up the bypass" as the chorus type lyric.

Anyone know what it has been officially released as.

:D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I reckon the Sugababes will be there.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Advertising Space by Robbie Williams.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I would like it to be that too (sons favourite) and something original.

But probably Robbie Williams

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

James Blunt - Goodbye my lover.....maybe

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

NO WAY!

NO WAY!

NO WAY!

NO WAY!

NO WAY!

I will publically disown that song live on air if it looks like it's going to be the Christmas number 1 - do we really want or need such a depressing song at this time of the year?

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Hang on there :p: It wasn't a 'I want', it was a 'I think' :)

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Sorry - I just get carried away when it comes to songs by James Blunt - I really really am not a fan of his :disturbd:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Talk! By Coldplay :D

.......well, i can dream.....

James Blunt is a tart, far far too soppy

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

And depressing - sales of nooses will go up when that song is released.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Wish I hadn't mentioned it now :p:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I don't care what is christmas No 1 aslong as it it for a charity and not, for some singer to get more publicity for getting to no.1

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Your Ok as Cliff has not got a Christmas single out this year :D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????

James Blunt should NOT be no. 1.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I'd also say the "JCB Song".
I believe it hits the shelves next week.
When it was first played on radio 1 load sof people phoned in saying how it brought back memories for them or made them think back to their childhood days with their dad.
Its one of those songs that relates to you in some way and as Christmas is a family time of year, its bound to do well.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Not a fan then :LOL:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Whatever it is it will be something I hate I'm sure. :(

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Tears in Heaven is going to the NSPCC...

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

What about "The Belfast Boy - Don Fardon". This is being re-released and I think the profits will be going to a drink related charity.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

theres a programme on C4 this weekend called Bring Back The Christmas Number One whre Justin Lee Collins re-unites former popstars and songwriters who have had festive hits to create a supergroup who'll bid to grab the top spot this Christmas. The song has been written by Rob Davis, who co-wrote Kylie's Can't You Out of My Head and had a Christmas number one in 1974 with Mud's Lonely This Christmas, and it will be performed by David Essex, Jona Lewie and members of Showaddywaddy and Slade.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I believe that you may have got your letters in the wrong order there - I'm sure the 's' should go at the front.

I swear that, if I hear that bluddy song once more, I'm gonna go completely postal :fit:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

According to the Sun this morning it won't be Chicotime until 2006. "The Competition" is worried that he might oust the show winner.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

wierd song, and very strange lyrics.

I thought earlier he said his dad is B.A. Baracas, but at the end he constantly repeats his dad is Bruce Lee............

Has this 5 year old child, who sounds a lot older, been adopted so many times he does not know his real dad? ;) :) :D

ik

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I hate the "JCB song" :mad:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Agreed! :tu:
Sadly it's just the sort of pap that people get sucked into buying at this time of year.........

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

May I kindly refer you to post 23? If it gets to number 1, I'm kicking off ;)

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Anyone see the C4 show on this? Looks a lot of fun. Did they find a record label wiling to take it?

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

<insert name of manufactured talentless group here>

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

The Cable Forum Christmas single.

[Imagine it. If next year everyone recorded their own line and recorded it at the next forum meet].

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

It's CF time, there's no need to be afraid,

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Well I just heard on the radio that the 3 X factor finalists have recorded a xmas single together, the winner will have the 'right' to the record, and get this.............they have advance orders totalling 700,000 already, think we might have an *ahem, winner :rolleyes:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

*Yawn*

Wonder how many singer/songwriters with genuine talent that aren't corporate puppets basically owned by Simon Cowell go undiscovered while these rent-a-voice people churn out covers and dodgy pop songs then disappear.

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I've just listened to the JCB song carefully - the lyrics bring a tear to my eye! Fatherhood gets to you like that :D

Even though it's not remotely Christmassy, I want it to get to number 1 :)

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Tears in Heaven... (please)

<-------

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

:tu: I am with Russ on this one, only one winner.

"I'm Luke, I'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee drives me round in his JCB."

and of course the Chorus

"Were holding up the bypass, me and my dad having a top laugh"

:D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

It's about how, when you're a kid, you see your dad as being a mixture of Bruce Lee, Stephen Hawkins and Wayne Rooney and if you get bullied, you know he'd sort them out for you :D

Love it :D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

JCB's hearing on Top Of The Pops did a lot to show what nice, genuine guys Nizlopi are, but I think it needed a vast screen behind them showing the video behind them to explain the song. The young, and obviously primed, audience were only remotely interested in the performance. Shame, as the song seems to embrace a faith, innocence and honesty that deserves to be celebrated.:(

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

In all fairness, listening to it brings a tear to my eye as well. However, that's because listening to it feels like being continuously being kicked in the danglers for 3½ minutes :disturbd:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I absolutely love the JCB Song. Didn't the guy write the song based on the fact he was bullied when he was at school, and used to go round with his dad on his JCB to escape from the bullying? I love love love it. Lovely record. My dad was a superhero to me when I was little... (still is tbh) :tu:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I can imagine Alyssa sing "I'm Alyssa, I'm five and my Dad's Russ D".
:D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

;)

Well I think we may find that a dead cert for this now and beating the JCB song will be a download only version of an old song.

Russ will know as his local station The Wave played it recently.

At this point I will stick my fingers down my own throat as it is worse than the JCB Song.

Well it is - Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Kylie Minogue.

If you ever have the misfortune to listen to it then it is as bad as it sounds.

But not discrediting our Kylie it is bound to win for the sympathy vote if nothing else.

I really hope she has beaten her illness but you have to give her marketing team 10 out of 10 for this.

Jeez you would think she was the only singer that had beaten cancer.

:D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

:omg: Well the JCB song is number 1 today - will it stay there until next Sunday?

I urge you all to go out and buy something decent!
Paul has just downloaded it here and I'm on the verge of killing him! :ninja: :bsmack: :sniper:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

I don't care what anyone says - the JCB Song will be Christmas number 1, and here's why....

Until 7pm on sunday, it will be number 1.

12.01am to 7pm next sunday is still Christmas day ;) :D

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Well it's still rubbish! I've just had the fortune to see it performed 'live' on TOTP (or whatever passes for 'live these days :rolleyes: ) and it was dreadful. :td: :D
And anyway all the DJ's on the independent stations and Radio 1 were all saying 'tune in next week to see what's the Christmas number 1' so best you tell them too!

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Not this DJ ;)

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Why? It's hardly any worse than last years winner surely? :confused:

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Perhaps it's just a 'dad' thing - but I can imagine my daughter singing something like that. It's very touching IMO :)

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 

Not complaining about you Russ just wondering why some folk have such a down on it..It's a lot better than the frog song and the Amerillo tosh which I never even liked the first time it was a hit...it was considered an old fogies song by me as a teenager.Shudder.
