Well it made it! The JCB Song is officially the British Christmas Number 1 record. A worthy winner IMO, and thank god it's not Westlife or McFly or someone!

[Vaigra]

oh yes!
Nizlopi are named after a girl the lead singer had a crush on in school lol!

Well it was bigged up on the radio as this week's being the official xmas #1, as it will be the song at #1 come Xmas morning. I think that is the way it works traditionally. Will they actually do a #1 next Sunday, being xmas day and all?

I don't think there is one next week...I could be wrong though.

The bookies are still taking bets up till the 21st for it.
According to them it's the best selling single BY the 25th Dec.
So I'm not sure either !!!

"Amazingness"

I like it.

[whiteballz]

still classic

I read on teletext last night, that Nizlopi are now the 2nd favourites for the Christmas number one. I think that's after the X-factor winner. Get buying people

IN HIS JCB HOLDING UP THE BYPASS
lol
great brb

[Vaigra]

I'm afraid, officially, we didn't succeed
Even though the JCB song was number one for the larger majority of Christmas Day, the official Christmas number on was by the X-factor winner, Shane something or other.

I'm not sure if this is a cultural thing or a personal thing ... I just either didn't get it or thought it was crap. I dunno.

Hmm, I thought noone could hate this song. (ok I'll shut up)

Finland has been said to be the ONLY country in the world, outside of the UK that understands Brittish humour. I know it's not true that we would be the "only" ones, but it's quite interesting such a saying exists. Personally I find humour synonymous with Monty Python and Fast Show, so waddayaknow.

I have to thank Vaigra for resurrecting this thread since I missed it the first time. This is one of the few songs at the moment that I just can't get enough off! I've been listening to it every day for weeks now!

If anyone knows any similar songs (like this one or London Underground by Adam Kay & Suman Biswas) please spi-ti-tout. (i need to stop)
