    Because the chorus is "FúCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME"

    Which, would be making a statement as to the fact you're not conforming to the rules that X factor is going to be number 1 at christmas.

    Nice one! I was discussing this last night with the house mate, fed up of the X-Factor winners going straight to No.1 and just said it would be great if someone started a campaign for another song to get to the top for a change! I'm in anyway!

    There's also a campaign for Bob Dylan's "Must Be Santa", which at least is seasonal. And before anyone butts in with their opinion of Zimmy's vocal powers, I can't stand Zac's voice, so :p Hopefully one of the songs get to No.1, but it's hard to counter weeks of Simon Cowell's idoctrination.

    Oh, and the profits from Dylans xmas album go to charity

    Me thinks everyone should text in to the ray foley show, whether you like him or not, he has a pretty big audience, and as can be seen by when he brought journey back to the charts, he can do ittttttttttttt.

    It has a naughty word at the end and would be therefore a "challenging alternative Christmas No1". As opposed to a turgid, pedagogical funk-metal workout as I first assumed.

    So you're just conforming to something else being number 1?
    You rebel, you!

    Think I'll just carry on in my belief that chart music is all **** and carry on listening to music I enjoy, not what people tell me to...

    Agreeing with tman on this one. Don't really get the point. To be honest I could never tell you what is no.1 in the charts anyway and couldn't give a rat's ass either. I doubt RATM's idea of sticking it to the man was to rebel against the likes of xfactor.

    Great idea, I'm going to do this. What is it to buy a single track? 99 cent or something. Would be kinda funny to have it in the charts :D

    Where can you buy it though? I don't have an ipod or an itunes account (nor do I want one).

    I'd much prefer to see Dylan's go to number one, I mean, it's Dylan, it's for charity, and it's actually a catchy song.

    So, at least 150K unit sales to make number 1?
    Rather give my money to charity tbh.

    Would buy Dylan before eh...who's this song by again?!

    Not one band can actually come out with one decent Christmas song these days. We've had one good song this decade and that's Don't Let The Bells End by The Darkness. It's sad, really sad...

    And that was beaten by that Mad World song which is even worse. Christmas songs should be number 1 at Christmas even if it means Slade or The Pogues every year.

    Not for Ireland, I was referring to the UK. If it doesn't make the UK no.1 spot I doubt it will make the news.

    Sony own the rights to both RATM and x-factor contestants so the only winner is.........Sony.
