Those old songs
-
You got one wrong. The 1993 Christmas number one was Mr Blobby by Mr Blobby.
Funny how out of those 8 songs, only 3 are Christmas songs, and only 3 are any good.
-
Also, since 1980 there have only been five Christmas number ones that were actually Christmas songs, and two of them were "Do They Know It's Christmas?"!
-
Ah Mr Blobby, I remember it well!! Why on earth I brought that single and helped it make Xmas number one, I will never know. Oh the shame!
And we thought you had taste. Oh, the shame, indeed.

1987 Series 1 Always on my Mind (Pet Shop Boys)
1988 Series 2 Mistletoe and Wine (Cliff Richard)
1989 Series 3 Do they know it's... (Band Aid 2)
1990 Series 4 Saviour's Day (Cliff again!)
1991 Series 5 Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
1992 Series 6 I Will Always Love You (Whitney H)
1993 Series 7 Babe (Take That)
1994 Series 8 Stay Another Day (East 17)
I don't actually mind the fact that some aren't Christmas songs. Personally I get fed up that they bring out the same old tatty songs every year around this time. Are they wheeling Cliff out for something awful again this year? I know he does everything in a good cause, but just, please, no.
I think I prefer the first one out of all these. Yeh, it's not a Christmas song, but in my view it's still darn good.

shood release the knightmare theme music, that would be a sucsess.
bad music always comes out this time of year (and most of the rest) but then whats wrong with being silly at xmas?
i think Meat loaf shood geta move on with his new album and before the xmas number one.. its time that a great rocker took the crown, or the return of zztop
the thing what that cliff dude his now lost his mind he doesnt know whats his doing or were he is.. but i dare say Ozzy osbourne is starting to go in that direction as well but come on his got an excuse

Cheers! It's so nice to have your sympathy!
You still have more sympathy (at least from me) than if you'd admitted buying Cliff's Mistletoe and Wine.
-
Yesssss!
I can safely say I never ever even considered buying that, but then again at least its marginally better than that god awful Millenium Prayer!
I actually can't remember the Millennium Prayer. My mind must have hidden it somewhere so it never haunts my waking thoughts.
And no, I don't need reminding of how it goes, thankyou.

Pet Shop Boys are not crap
If anyone ever said otherwise I would be forced to whap them with my lovely green staff and set the adorable Festus on them.
-
Damn, and I was just preparing myself to give you a rendition! ;D Er actually, I would prefer not to...just think The Lord's Prayer with cheese!
Darn. That's done enough to remind me of it. I could call you names, but the forum (inhabited by the spirit of Mary Whitehouse) will only distort them into meaningless gobbledeegook anyway.
In any case, I heard Eurythmics' fantastic version of Winter Wonderland on the radio today, so I'm happy. Even Cliff can't spoil my mood.
