2010 Christmas #1

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 22-12-2009 7:40am #1

It doesn't take a genius to wok out that the x-factor versus internet choice Christmas number one race is probably going to become an annual event, so, with that in mind, I have a simple question:

What song would you most like to see go up against the x-factor wannabe next year?

I'll open the bidding with:

Cowell will love it....

Rick Roll ftw

They tried to do it with Rick Astley last year (same people as this year), but it failed to gain any traction.

My prediction:
Lots of different groups will be pushing their own anti establishment song, letting X-Factor trounce them completely.

Yep, it'll never work again.

Manfred Mann

The Mighty Quinn.

GavRedKing · 22-12-2009 11:47am

Slayer - Angel of Death.

The perfect christmas song.

What'd really piss him off is if it was 'Killing in the Name' again

folan · 22-12-2009 11:51am

id like to see an actual Chrsitmas song do it for a change!

Maybe a cover of a classic. Frames doing White Chrsitmas? Come on Glenn, you know you can do it!

Wurly · 22-12-2009 12:00pm

We're planning a year ahead??? Really?

I will cut out and eat my own beating heart before I let Glen Hansard get the Christmas Number One spot.

And I don't even care about the Christmas number one!

X-factor to do killing in the name of

November spawned a monster - morrissey

Kradock · 22-12-2009 12:41pm

Have I missed this Christmas?. Really need a better alarm.

Cookie_Monster · 22-12-2009 12:42pm

I'd like it to be a proper christmas song with references to the following

-snow
-christmas tree
-kissin' muh baybeh under the misletoe
-presents
-happiness
-next year
-Christmas cheer

Don't care how it's done, it can be written by a songwriter and sold on to a manager who'll find a singer, or it can be a group effort by a band, it's just gotta be christmassy, goddammit. I'd also only like it to be Christmas no. 1 because people actually like it, not just to spite X-factor as I think that's very grinchy behaviour and has no place being associated with Christmas.

That's my Christmas wish

Mark McCabe - Manic 2000 FTW

See my post about Glen Hansard above but insert Mark McCabe in Glen's place.

Oranage · 22-12-2009 12:54pm

Well christmas is about Jesus dying because he was different, and killing in the name of is about how people can kill other people if they're different and it being ok, so RATM is the perfect christmas song

That'd be Easter...

Piste · 22-12-2009 12:56pm

Christmas is about snow and presents and family and christmas trees and kissin' muh baybeh under the mistletoe, I see no references to any of the above in RATM's music.

Legend of an idea!

Piste · 22-12-2009 1:41pm

The Christmas Climb would be an even better idea.

phasers · 22-12-2009 1:45pm

I've been working on a Thrash remix of Mistletoe and Wine, I think it'll be a big hit

Xinkai · 22-12-2009 1:55pm

That song: MY DINGALING, MY DINGALING, I WONT YOU TO PLAY WIT MY DINGALING!!!

It has ding in it, like an xmas bell :pac:

Dublin_Gunner · 22-12-2009 2:10pm

In fairness, my powers of foresight seem to have left me today, so I have no idea who's gonna be No.1 by Christmas 2010.

IvySlayer · 22-12-2009 6:32pm

Us boardsies should make a rap

Probably another geeky rock band because its nothing to do with xmas, not that x-factor is either!

speedboatchase · 22-12-2009 6:53pm

It should be Joe McElderry - The Climb - he deserves that number 1 eventually

The_Kew_Tour · 22-12-2009 7:20pm

here wild one how about

"Fairytale of New York"

RHRN · 22-12-2009 7:38pm

Mutilate the Stillborn - Necrophagist.

There's a Christmas song.
Cowell and everyone who watches the X-Factor would LOVE IT!

Careful now - 'deserve' is a very subjective term.

gizmo · 22-12-2009 8:19pm

There can only be one...

fryup · 22-12-2009 9:48pm

it should be this forgotten classic from the 80s,

That is a piece of surreal genius. What strikes me most about it is how difficult it would be to explain to Americans. "You did what why?"

Imagine the pain of next year's winner, when he discovers that he's going to be deprived - and then his sweaty palms when he realises that he may have an absurdly irrelevant Christmas number one in 2011, when he's already been back in Butlins for six months.
