The Cable Forum Christmas single.
[Imagine it. If next year everyone recorded their own line and recorded it at the next forum meet].

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

 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"

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
Love it

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.

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

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)

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

Re: Xmas Number 1 ?????
 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!
