WTF is Wrong with Us!!!!???

Chrissie

That stupid 'Jumbo Breakfast Roll' song is number 1 in the Irish Charts!


Why do we always pick the biggest load of sh!te going & make it number 1??

UK No 1:- Madonna :cool:
Irish No 1:- Pat Shortt

Need I remind us of Richie Kavanagh & "Aon Focail Eile"

Why as a nation are we SO sad?:(


(Ok, that's my Monday morning rant over!)

Madonna is also a load of sh1te. FYI


You only need one or two thousand singles sold on a slow week to make no. 1.

Rhyme

People like fads... and id hazard a guess that the people who like these songs like fads more than most. Silly.

Chrissie

Well Yes, I'm not the biggest Madonna fan either, but compared with Pat Shortt, she's a LOT less Sh!te.

Merrick

Talking about fads, I'm surprised that Crazy Frog hasn't been mentioned yet. Then again maybe that's a good thing...

Mossy Monk

i would have to disagree

watching her on Pimp My Ride last night she was quite pathetic with all her bull****ting

Kojak

The 'Jumbo Breakfast Roll' song should be classified as a War Crime. :mad:

People are interested in top 10 charts over actual good music?

...just a wacky suggestion

I still haven't heard this song and considering the responses this tread is getting that might be a good thing :v:

I love the jumbo breakfast roll song.

I'm into what some people would call "proper music aswell", but I think the reason lots of people like it is because they can totally relate to it.

Most of you probably never worked on the sites but the song is a laugh to anyone who has because it's so true.

Btw, Madonna is crap. Am I supposed to like her because she's a woman and involved in music for over 20 years???

She's crap. Pushing the envelope is what she is supposed to have done.
All she did was strip off and sell her sh!te by stiring up bullsh!t.

But, that's the strange thing:-

Look at the responses SO far.
Not one good word for the song.
How on earth is it number 1?
Who's buying the rubbish?

Here, like I said:- I'm not a Madonna fan.

The only reason I mentioned her is that the week we pick Pat Shortt to be No.1, the UK pick Madonna.

Whether you like her or not, her song is a lot more normal & a lot closer to what decent music sounds like than what the breakfast roll song does.

So can we get over the Madonna issue already.

That's not the point of this thread

It's a harmless novelty song. It made me laugh the first time I heard and like all novelty songs, became less funny each time I heard it. No matter how bad it is, it still has more artistic merit than most of the ****e that goes to number one - Westlife, I'm looking at you.

decimal

Pretty much all pop music today is complete ****e, so why would anyone suddenly get pissed off at the charts now, wasn't it apparent during the last 20 years?

True.

Actually, it's less the kids buying these crap singles than it is your average run of the mill pub DJ's who'll just buy whatever aural pulp is being playlisted on commercial radio because that's what the plebs wanna hear...

MorningStar

The singles charts here are really useless and don't really count for much money if any to any record company. The album charts in Ireland show how diverse or listening is compared to the UK and US.

The UK often has novelty tunes in no.1 e.g. Bob the Builder, Mr. Blobby etc... and of Course the great Benny Hill.

Actually this is true.

I was in the pub for a few hours on Sat night & the DJ played it 3 times in the while I was there.

Thankfully (or else I just cant remember:o ) it wasn't played in the nightclub

Closer to what decent music sounds like??????

don't you have your own opinion.
Madonna's song is just bland rubbish.

At least Pat Shortt wrote the song himself and performs it himself.

The construction industry is the largest employer in the country.
There's fcuk all people from this industry posting here at the moment.

Nearly everyone in the construction industry would have loved this song when they'd have heard it first I'd say. Anyone I know said they thought it was a laugh.

It'll be number one for a few weeks I'd say.
I hope so anyway. Pat Shortt's a vert funny man.

Chris P Duck

Who cares about the charts.

mise_me_fein_V2

well i listen to the radio in the morning and they tend to play stuff from the charts so I like when there's anything but bland pop in the charts.

Still harping on about the non-point Madonna.
Move on.........


You obviously haven't been to a Pat Shortt live show then, have you?
Again, not the point of this thread, so ignore that.



When I heard the live version played on the radio, I thought that's quite clever & pretty accurate.

Of course, I was hoping that that would be it.
It's just not funny once you hear it more than a couple of times, so it's just irritating now as a single, & IMO he's not a funny man (but I'm aware that I'm probably in the minority on that one)

mise_me_fein_V2

You're probably a stuck up you know what that can't relate to what you would call lower class issues.

Lower class issues!? It's just a song!

What's your problem here?
Why do you feel the need for a personal attack over the debate of the Breakfast roll song?



Plus, I don't think all the tradesmen of Ireland will thank you for associating them with the term "lower class"!!!

LMAO.. ha ha ha, how stuck up are you to call builders lower class - most of em make more money than anyone else I know :rolleyes:

I never even heard of the song till Friday night when my friends (a carpenter, sparky and groundworker) started singin it in the pub, and it sounded pretty funny. Whats the problem with it being #1? It just a song, it doesn't make every Irish person look like a dunce, it makes us look like a race of people who like a laugh and don't take things like the Music Industry too seriously.

TBH the UK were gonna send Jordan over to the Eurovision thingy, what does that say about them :rolleyes:

I don't know? WTF *IS* wrong with us?

For example how many sales does one actually need to get a number #1 record in Ireland?

Divide that by the total population and only then can we truly determine the state of the nation.

Boyzone had a #1 with about 3500 sales on a very slow week in 1997 from what I can remember.. not that I know much about Boyzone or... em...

mise_me_fein_V2

I didn't say all site workers are lower class. Sure most of my family work on the sites, but your yuppy attitude can't relate to a good time song like this.

Go ahead and listen to the crap that they play in club M.

We're sending Brian Kennedy to sing a church hymn for us!!!!:eek:
But then again, we don't actually want to win it, so I suppose he's a sure bet!:D

Who says the rest of us are "yuppies"? We were just expressing opinions on a fcuking song, there's no need to get all narky over it.

Again, your personal attack is uncalled for, & 'Yuppy':D , if you only saw where I lived, you couldn't be any further from the truth.

Go chill out a wee bit & then come back to us.
Never saw someone get SO worked up over a song in all my life.
What would you be like if we were discussing a real issue!:eek:

The fat muppet had to read the national anthem off a page when he was singing it at Lansdowne yesterday.

You're talking about music and trying to point of stuff when you don't have a clue. That's what's p!ssing me off.

I bet that's you laughing in the new Daily Mail adverts on the radio.

Like I said it's just a song.

Ah, you're probably right, what would I know!
I mean, my father's just a brickie, a brother a plumber, another a carpenter, another a mechanic, & I'm just an electrician part time.

But, yea, I guess I'd know nothing about going to buy myself a breakfast roll.

What part of the labouring trade are you in yourself, that makes you so qualified to have such a heated debate over a SONG?

mise_me_fein_V2

I'm not on the sites anymore but I was working on them since I was 14 whenever the chance came about.

That's not the point. I don't wanna see people slating this song and stating Madonna is decent or whatever you said.

Then you could have just said that without bringing "lower class issues" into it.

Oh right, so now that I've stated that I do know what I'm talking about, suddenly it's not the point anymore, where it's been your ONLY point up til now.

Give up!
Still going on about Madonna........................:rolleyes:

I guess we can assume you like the song:D

mise_me_fein_V2

It's funny, I like what it stands for.

It's a big fcuk you to all the sickening bastards that know fcuk all about music and would rather see bland sh!te in the charts - which I hate.

Most people on the sites don't bother with music but here they've bought this song and it's unsettled a few people it would seem.

So is that what you're calling me now? Seeing as I'd rather listen to just about anything than that song?

I don't think anyone here seems unsettled but you.
I don't like the song & when I heard it was No1 I thought "what are we thinking", but that's as much as it bothered me tbh.

It was just great to see what invalid point you'd come out with next.
V entertaining!:D
