Utterly dire. I would rather the X Factor was number one over this - which, frankly, has been quoted to death and was barely amusing to begin with, and pretty much sums up everything wrong with Family Guy in the last few years.

this has overtaken the amount of members in the john cage group :/

Family Fuy sucks so bad.....I'd rather Cher got to no.1 instead of this $h!t.

Nah, I'd think i'd rather Big Bird got to number one (who's got a version of this on iTunes).

 

 

PS. Actually, I'd like the best song got to number one, like Bad Romance should have done from last year.

Nah it shows everything thats right with family guy, which is why f g has reached the masses in the last 2-3 years havin previously been something of a well kept televisual secret.

I'd love this in the charts, it probly has been trickle sellin 4 a while anyway so why not? And by the way there were loads of campaigns last year too, but as someone said people gradually move to the more popular ones which then get mentions on radio/tv etc.

 

I know this stinks of hypocriscity, but while I didn't like the John Cage idea, I rather like this one :)

Honestly, I find this campaign both amusing and annoying:L If it did get to number one, i would laugh so much. I mean, for Simon Cowell to be beaten by silence. Say no more. But also, if it does get to number 1 and if Radio 1, for example said the chart, it would go like this''Number 2 is the X Factor winner((and then they play the song)) and This year's Xmas number one is, (silence) so, in a way, XFactor would be recognised as number 1:L

Too many campaigns!

I'd actually prefer silence over Bird Is The Word for extra amusement :kink:.

 

I still think putting a classic Christmas song at #1 is the best idea!

Unless someone unveils a new classic xmas song then I can't see one gettin to xmas #1 with or without a campaign. Then again isn't Sir Cliff releasing something new?

Now 170k in the main group. Even it if reaches a million the majority of people still aren't going to download, and I can't see as much of the multi-buying going on as last year. The Radio 1 coverage should keep it in the public eye and it will probably get to No.2.

yep, only like half the rage group actually brought the song.

 

 

what i have just decided will be the worst thing if this campaign is successful, that although i like the song, if its getting played all over the media etc, its gonna get very annoying to hear very fast.

I bought the Rage Against the Machine last year and I'll buy this!

 

Anything for family guy!

Bump.

Apologies for the other thread, didn't look hard enough!

 

Anyways, to reiterate - currently on 300,000 members and expanding rapidly (was at 250,000 yesterday)! Needs to reach at least 800,000 though to mount an RATM style challenge.

They've kind of lost the point. Rage Against the Machine was used because it was less annoying and better than The Climb, Bird is the Word is annoying as feck!! X Factor for Number 1

I disagree, I love this song :dance:

 

I might just get it on my ipod anyway! :lol: and wow, its expanding rapidly, I still think number 1's unlikely, but I wouldnt be surprised if it got top 10 :o

Well RATM was a genuine protest song choice, Bird Is The Word is just for the lolz. I think it's important to note that distinction. The failure of the John Cage idea to gain any serious momentum shows that there isn't an appetite for another serious anti X-Factor message at No. 1 - that point has already been made. This year it's all about p***ing off Cowell, whoever wins the contest, and well, people in general! :lol:

How ridiculous would this be:

 

CHRISTMAS CHART 2010

1 - The Trashmen

2 - John Cage

3 - Rage Against The Machine (Re-Entry)

4 - X Factor winner

 

:P

innit, rage was good because it was uncommercial and a protest song, im sick of hearing bird is the word already.

 

Jon Morter, the guy who started the Rage campaign, on this campaign: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=489921481396

 

If ANY Xmas No.1 campaign is going to work...it'll be the John Cage 4'33" one. Surfin' Bird won't work I promise you. It gets a Radio 1 mention then suddenly there's 4,209 pages/groups that spring up claiming to be the first/best/official and all that bollocks. Plus I predict a load of "official" websites for the cause too (remember Rage Factor, RATM.co.uk, Ragesite?? - i didn't want any of them and distanced the campaign away from them) by 'helpful' people wanting to use it for their own Google backlinks (see http://www.ratm4xmas.co.uk/)

 

 

 

It's already too sanitised and has the smell of corporate to it...plus it's about as 'grassroots' as concrete.

 

 

So Rage wasn't commercial? Well someone certainly made some bucks from it. Mr Cowell owned it according to one rumour I heard.

As for the Bird Is The Word campaign, I've just become the 320000th member! At this rate there could be several million by xmas! (Biggest seller of all time maybe?) And so what if there are multiple imposter campaigns for the same song, surely that's spreading the cause to even more people and there are already (in my experience anyway) more people getting excited about this than there were abt Rage!

Tell everyone that you've heard that the Bird is the word!
