Posted December 14, 200915 yr What retro (Pre 2000) song should take on X-Factor for Xmas 2010 that would be more apt than fellow Sony act Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name for next year ...... OK, with RATM seemingly headed for an impressive #2 placing behind the unstoppable X-Factor blandfest cover of a Miley Cyrus Disney song what old song can you suggest as the perfect antidote to take on next year's winning song in an attempt to annoy Simon Cowell ....... To start off with here are three of my suggestions ..... AH7pOUm5s9k Anti Nowhere League - So What? So f***ing what! Well I've been to Hastings And I've been to Brighton I've been to Eastbourne too So what, so what Well I've been here And I've been there And I've been every f***ing where So what, so what So what, so what you boring little c**t Well who cares, who cares what you do Who cares, who cares about you You, you, you Well I've sucked sweets And I've sucked rock And I've even sucked an old man's cock So what, so what Well I've f***ed a sheep And I've f***ed a goat I've had my cock right down its throat So what, so what So what, so what you boring little c**t Well who cares, who cares what you do Who cares, who cares about you You, you, you, you Well I've drunk that And I've drunk this And I've spewed up on a pint of p*** So what, so what And I've had scag I've had speed I've jacked up until I bleed So what, so what So what, so what you boring little c**t Well who cares, who cares what you do Who cares, who cares about you You, you, you, you Well I've had crabs And I've had lice And I've had the pox and that ain't nice So what, so what Well I've f***ed this And I've f***ed that And I've even f***ed a schoolgirl's crack So what, so what So what, so what you boring little c**t Who cares, who cares about you Who cares, who cares about you You, you, you, you.. a6hvNe11r9U Kate Bush - Experiment IV We were working secretly For the military. Our experiment in sound Was nearly ready to begin. We only know in theory What we are doing: Music made for pleasure, Music made to thrill. It was music we were making here until They told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake in the making. It could feel like falling in love. It could feel so bad. But it could feel so good. It could sing you to sleep-- But that dream is your enemy. We won't be there to be blamed. We won't be there to snitch. I just pray that someone there Can hit the switch. But they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake we've made. And the public are warned to stay off. But my first choice would be ...... ylOCIP54PIQ PIL - Public Image Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha) You never listen to a word that I said You only seen me For the clothes that I wear Or did the interest go so much deeper It must have been The colour of my hair The Public Image What you wanted was never made clear Behind the image was ignorance and fear You hide behind this public machine Still follow same old scheme Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began I will not be treated as property Public Image Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began It's not a game of monopoly Public image Public image You got what you wanted The public image belongs to me It's my entrance My own creation My grand finale My goodbye Public image Goodbye Can any of you come up with some alternatives that would sound ludicrously great being played on the chart countdown late December 2010?
December 14, 200915 yr I love the Kate Bush one ... but I'd have to go for Public Image! I love that song for very, very special reasons! Norma
December 14, 200915 yr From your list I'd would go for PIL. Can't help thinking that this one might get up a certain person's nose.... :lol: as it just about sums up appearing on the X factor. ksR0si3ZloY 1910 Fruitgum Company- Simple Simon Says Lyrics I'd like to play a game, That is so much fun, And it's not so very hard to do, The name of the game is Simple Simon says, And I would like for you to play it to, Put your hands in the air, Simple Simon says, Shake them all about, Simple Simon says, Do it when Simon says, Simple Simon says, And you will never be out. Simple Simon says, Put your hands on your head, Let your back bone stretch, Simon says, Simple simon says, Put your hands on your head, Let your back bone stiff, Simon says, Put your hands on your head, Simple Simon says, Bring them down by your side, Simple Simon says, Shake them to your left, Simple Simon Says, Now shake them to your right, Put your hands on your head, Simple Simon says, Bring them down by your side, Simple Simon says, Shake them to your left, Simple Simon Says, Now shake them to your right, Now that you have learnt, To play this game with me, You can see its not so hard to do, Lets try it once again, This time more carefully, And I hope the winner will be you. Clap your hands in the air, Simple Simon says, Do it double time, Simple Simon says, Slow it down like before, Simple Simon says, Ah, your looking fine. Simple Simon says, Now clap them high in the air, Simple Simon says, Do it double time, Simple Simon says, Slow it down like before, Simple Simon says, Ah, your looking fine.
December 14, 200915 yr Another song that might work, and it could kill two birds with one stone. We all know Cowell hated David Bowie, and Cowell has certainly ruined music so what about..... ZM0e1m9T9HQ David Bowie - The man who sold the world
December 15, 200915 yr :lol: @ brians suggestions, they would really be poignant! maybe 'simon says' updated by a punk/rock act would be great. love 'public image' , that would be fantastic.
December 15, 200915 yr Well, I already suggested this one on another Thread... ix62PttEfhU But I'd go along with this one too... 8PaoLy7PHwk 1989 the number another summer (get down) Sound of the funky drummer Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould (Brothers and sisters hey) Listen if you're missin' y'all Swingin' while I'm singin' Givin' whatcha gettin' Knowin' what I know While the Black bands sweatin' And the rhythm rhymes rollin' Got to give us what we want Gotta give us what we need Our freedom of speech is freedom or death We got to fight the powers that be Lemme hear you say Fight the power Chorus As the rhythm designed to bounce What counts is that the rhymes Designed to fill your mind Now that you've realized the prides arrived We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart It's a start, a work of art To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange People, people we are the same No we're not the same Cause we don't know the game What we need is awareness, we can't get careless You say what is this? My beloved lets get down to business Mental self defensive fitness (Yo) bum rush the show You gotta go for what you know Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be Lemme hear you say... Fight the Power Chorus Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant ---- to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother---- him and John Wayne Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back you look and find Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check Don't worry be happy Was a number one jam Damn if I say it you can slap me right here (Get it) lets get this party started right Right on, c'mon What we got to say Power to the people no delay To make everybody see In order to fight the powers that be (Fight the Power) Fukkin' inspirational....
December 15, 200915 yr ..and this one.. The GREATEST Rock/Rap Crossover.. EVER.... RBA-xi8WuCU Bass! How low can you go? Death row. What a brother knows. Once again, back is the incredible the rhyme animal the incredible D, Public Enemy Number One "Five-O" said, "Freeze!" and I got numb Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun? But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell 'Cause a brother like me said, "Well... ...Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to what he can say to you, what you ought to do." Follow for now, power of the people, say, "Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical" Black is back, all in, we're gonna win Check it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise![x2] Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad At the fact that's corrupt as a senator Soul on roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope 'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music that the critics are all blasting me for They'll never care for the brothers and sisters now across the country has us up for the war We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait Till we get it right Radio stations I question their blackness They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise![x2] Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me My DJ is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know He can cut a record from side to side So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono Run-DMC first said a DJ could be a band Stand on its feet, get you out your seat Beat is for Eric B. and LL, as well, hell Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells Ever forever, universal, it will sell Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise![x2] From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose "Stan my man, The beat's the same with a boost toast Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask? Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as We got to plead the Fifth, we can investigate Don't need to wait, get the record straight Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor Terminator X to sign checks, play to get paid We got to check it out down on the avenue A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you Yeah, I'm telling you...
December 15, 200915 yr Having studied all of the songs here ... I have to now go with 'Simon Says'. Good nomination Brian! Norma
December 16, 200915 yr Heard it's going to be The Pogues and Kirsty. What needs to happen is a physical copy to be released too, on the Monday before the Xmas chart.
December 16, 200915 yr Heard it's going to be The Pogues and Kirsty. What needs to happen is a physical copy to be released too, on the Monday before the Xmas chart. How original - it's been out on physical at least three times too. I'm personally sick to death of this song now.
December 16, 200915 yr How original - it's been out on physical at least three times too. I'm personally sick to death of this song now. I believe the reason for that was to raise funds for Kirsty's mother to launch an inquiry into her daughter's killing/manslaughter. The true facts of the case have never really come to light. I think it would be an excellent choice actually - but to this time stress the reason. As for the song itself ... I could listen to it a few hundred times (probably have) and not get sick of it ... yet one listen to an X-Factor winner song is enough to make me feel nauseous! Norma
December 16, 200915 yr That justifies the last release then but not another one. It was out 1987, 1991 and some time in the noughties, it's in danger of becoming a new Slade.
December 16, 200915 yr That justifies the last release then but not another one. It was out 1987, 1991 and some time in the noughties, it's in danger of becoming a new Slade. thought it already had.... im sick of it too, and its in the charts now.
December 16, 200915 yr Author thought it already had.... im sick of it too, and its in the charts now. I agree. I personally think it is the greatest Xmas song ever; however to challenge the (Fi)X-Factor in 2010 I've thought of something that is: Xmassy very appropriate with regards to financial exploitation not part of the Sony record label. Although some of the lyrics will need updating maybe with a new version with comedy actors doing impersonations of Mr Cowell; Walsh & Mrs Cole ...... just replace the words Bad News with X-Factor winning; Woolworths with Asda/Tesco/HMV and the names of the Comic Strip/Young Ones British Spinal Tap band members with the judges on X-Factor and voila ..... e9G63WZdCnQ Bad News - Cashing In On Christmas Cashing in on Christmas Hear those cash tills ring Jingle bells make money Everybody sing Queuing up at Woolworths To get our Christmas hit With lots of peace and love and joy and Jingle bells on it This is our Christmas single Please make it number 1 And give us all your money To make our Christmas fun Cashing in on Christmas Hear those cash tills ring Jingle bells make money Everybody sing Cos' we are rockin' Ooh every Christmas we're rockin' Say Santa Claus and we are rockin' Ooh jingle bells and we're rockin' Well every Christmas we're rockin', we're rockin all the way to the bank Cashing in on Christmas Hear those cash tills ring Jingle bells make money Everybody sing *Little girls' voice* I want to wake up on Christmas morning With the snow all over the ground With Bad News' Christmas single in my stocking It only costs just over a pound Hello, this is Den Dennis I hope you're all having a very merry Christmas This is our Christmas single, please buy it and make it number 1 For our Christmas fun Hello everybody, it's Vim Fuego here, Sorry I can't be with you this Christmas But I'm in the Carribean with all your money Having a good drink and a laugh Have a nice one, merry Christmas Cashing in on Christmas Christmas girls and boys Cashing in on Christmas Let's make lots of noise Cos' we are rockin' Ooh every Christmas we're rockin' Say Santa Claus and we are rockin' Ooh jingle bells and we're rockin' Well every Christmas we're rockin', we're rockin all the way to the bank Cashing in on Christmas Christmas girls and boys Cashing in on Christmas Let's make lots of noise (Repeat to end) Hello everyone this is Colin Grigson Please give as generously as you can to Bad News this Christmas, because, remember, There are people in the world who are much better at spending your money than you are, And that's us. Ha ha, merry Christmas! Hello, I'm Spider Webb. Heh heh heh!

December 16, 200915 yr black lace agadoo :P Still an improvement on anything Bland Factor could possibly churn out. Artists like David Bowie and Kate Bush wouldn't get a look in if they auditioned on Bland Factor, Cowell doing his usual "I don't see you as a recording artists" slur. He really means "I can't see you as a puppet on a string". Even present day pop stars like Lady Gaga would get turned away. I think she is a great face for pop, someone who refuses to conform to the boring and bland and with bags of talent to boot. Ironic she appeared on X Factor, but hey... Oh yeah... RATM FOR NUMBER ONE!!! :yahoo:
