    And the fact that you hear it every five seconds once November hits.

    Didn't one of Louis' bands do something like Seasons In The Sun or something with added sleighbells for Christmas?

    :(

    The Millennium Prayer was denied the 1999 Christmas No 1 spot – as well as the chance to be the Millennium No 1 – by a devastatingly effective Westlife pincer movement: a double A-side coupling Abba’s I Have A Dream with Terry Jacks’ Seasons in the Sun. The latter is frequently considered a suicide anthem, but was described by Jacks as being about a man “dying of a broken heart because his best friend was screwing his wife”, having originally been written by Jaques Brel in what Brel told Jacks was “a whorehouse in Tangiers”. Happy Christmas everyone!

    Bizarrely, the East 17 song doesn't feature the word 'Christmas' in the song at all - only some bells at the end (no jokes, please) give it a festive feel.

    'Stop the Calvary' by Jona Lewis isn't even about Christmas, it just sounds Christmassy with all the trumpets. :)

    Slade were playing in Dublin last week. I know someone who went in on the spur of the moment and ... Noddy Holder isn't in Slade anymore.


    That's like a Wham! reunion with Andrew and someone out of Brother Beyond (but not Nathan)

    Speaking of East 17 ... ouch
    MANY OF US remember East 17 with a certain fondness and they certainly bring with them a whole load of 90s nostalgia.
    However, this was the grim scene at their gig last night in The Academy, Dublin:

    My parents stopped off in John B Keane's pub during their honeymoon, they ended up staying for about five days. They returned to Listowel to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with the Keanes.

    Noddy and Jim Lea could retire from the royalties they earned, while Dave Hill and Don Powell have to keep touring to make money.

    Note to musicians - write the songs, pop-pickers! :cool:

    Couldn't agree more. Biggest injustice of all time.

    Anyone who brought that Mad World Dirge should be shot. Dead.

    He had a bit of a meltdown a few years back. edit: feckn Atlantic Dawn for stealing my East 17 thunder.

    Apparently after this he had his baseball hat surgically removed as the final part of his "shedding of the East 17 skin" process.

    LOL. I despised The Darkness with a passion. They were a comic band that were never funny and i genuinely loved that Mad World song.

    Christ, i hate The Darkness.
