Hi

Hmmm what a list!

Ok, it's about time we had a novelty song at xmas, so it'll be 4 poofs and a piano, aside from that, blue and Stevie Wonder stand a chance, and Darkness as outsiders.

Darren

its already decided! Nobody believes that its actually the cd buying public that determines what hits number one anymore do they!

Well, its face it, looking at the list it's got to be Cliff Richard hasn't it. Unless another boy or girl band come crawling out of the woodwork and dazzle everybody with their colgate smiles and woo the CD buying masses .

Maybe the SClub Toddlers or the Spice Girl Embryo's will have the Xmas no 1 this year?. Or Posh & Becks doing Fairytale of New York?, since Kirsty McColl kicked the bucket at least there is no fear of another mind numbing duet with her and the pogues.

I still think that Karen and Paula would make a great 2003 version of Bananarama - they could re-release "I heard a rumour" instead of starting them . The only problem with this idea is that Gary, Andy and Ian would consider themselves to be the new Fun Boy 3

Better still lets all get together and re-release "There is no-one quite like Grandma" - this modern version could be called "There is nothing quite like Kazz -aaaaa" (to identify with todays young people) which would = lots of sales and obscene amounts of money and we could all move abroad to a tax haven of Ian's choosing and wait to be hunted down by the Lawyers of St Winifreds School choir.

what about who ever wins pop idol! but out of that list with out listening to the songs i would say justin timberlake or the darkness and yes kazz im sure it already has been decided i really would like the way the charts work changed.

Gotta be Kylie.....or Blue.........or Rachael (slap slap) Stevens......or, oh I give up.

My money's on Sir Cliff
Of More interest to me is where do you get your info on forthcoming releases so far ahead Moog ?
Adam & Mike

If Cliff can hit number one with "the Lords Prayer" then what more evidence is needed to prove that the charts are rigged!
Crispy.... you are treading on very thin ice at the moment!...... Kazza's comin to get ya... Kazza's comin to get ya!

uh Huh, somebodies been nosing around my website.

If you think i'm falling for a ruse cooked up between you and Karen then your wrong!.

However, I will be calling on Karen on Friday, after the "Most Haunted Live" show at Beaulieu Abbey, so the party is at Kazz's!

We are going to be very near CONGLE TOWN Chrispy!!!!!

What like you were going to Caisters to get Eskie?

I say again whoever wins pop idol will get the xmas number 1

uuuhhhhhhhh Suzanne.... aint she the one that dont sing in tune but still gets away with it!

Lets hope its a good novelty record, or a good dance record...not some dreary drudgy tune that could have made it to number one at any time of the year.

maybe..... mine as well as pete watermans, foxys, nickys and simons! Sorry, but I cant stand her.... and have to question the fact that she has already been kicked off once before by the voting public so wonder what is making them change their minds now!

She raised more than her game..... where I was concerned

Well she aint gonna be nr 1 here!

...it def werent her game that she raised.......
Who cares whoever wins...they're only gonna be around for a year at most!....... thats all the games about!

.......and talking of novelty records, crowd participation etc. I heard that DJ Otzi is re-releasing Summer of 69 for Christmas!!!!

Spin

Pllllleaaaase tell me thats not true!

i heard the FFR were going to release mouldy old dough!

It is one of them funny things, I bet it is very catchy, but crap.

But what chance do any of us have when singles like these are being released

S Club 8 - Tears On My Pillow/Don’t Tell Me You’re Sorry
Shane Ritchie - I'm Your Man
The Cheeky Girls - Cheeky Christmas
Cliff Richard - Santa's List
Four Poofs And A Piano - Camp Up Your Christmas
Pop Idol Finalists - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Billy Mack - Christmas Is All Around
Avid Merrion - Little Drummer Boy/Proper Crim-bo

I reckon the poof ones gonna win it!

It's always horrid at this time, when any1 is dying for that Crimbo spot.

Cheeky Girls, missed out last yr, maybe this year, hope not.

But if Bob the Builder can do it?


I seriously hope someone decent gets it, i think the Pop idols will get it, but i dont think they are decent, a John Lennon Classic, and they are re-doing it, hmm.

Oh well.

.........and the DJ Otzi was'nt as bad as I first thought it would be and people are singing along to it!

Just my 4d worth

Spin

Oh dear

Cheeky Girls, 4 poofs & dj otzi
oh my god what is the world coming to

Dj 4 cheeky poofs?

so it looks like the pop idol finalists for the offical no 1.

but what about most usuable track for us hard working djs?????

looks like i'm going with the djotzi summer of 69...

summer of 69, in december
what is all that about

That is a very good point, very well made.
Cheers Ian.

Given that previous Christmas Number ones, have either looked, or sounded like the lead singer ought to be dressed in a 6ft green chicken suit, and that the lyrics should be awful, are we sure that this years Christmas number one hasnt already been released, in the form of Fatman Scoop: Be faithful.

Lets make a DJU christmas number one... someone loop up the first 4 seconds of a Chic song, and Chris, you can do the shouting though a mic channel going into the red...

This songs getting the "30 second rule" being applied to it at gigs, over the last month (EG: If no-one dances in the first 30 seconds, we're moving on to the next tune). Only a few people requesting it are prepared to commit their feet to it.

As for peoples desire to request certain songs by using the same mentality as looking up smutty words in school dictionaries, I wonder if "Summer of 69" (either version, theres very little difference) would be/have been so popular had it been called "Summer of 68" or "Summer of 70"..?
