I actually cut the list immediately to 24 songs and had to go back and pick my favourite out of the ones I cut. (Not that I dislike all the other songs on the list, there are plenty others I like which I didn't vote for, I just tried to do a fairly aggressive first cull as I was expecting to find it harder to decide on my biggest favourites :lol:)

51. Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun 34 pts

 

Writers - Jacques Brel,Rod McKuen

Top points - Good Old Days 16,King Rollo 13,AH Gold 4

 

This was voted into the semi-final by Common Sense but he didn't vote this time so it finishes bottom. The song originated as 'Le Moribond' by the Belgian Jacques Brel (1961). It was translated into English by Rod McKuen in 1964 and his version was first recorded by The Kingston Trio. Terry Jacks' version,with slightly altered lyrics,is about his friend who died from leukemia. He tried to record it with the Beach Boys but when that didn't work out,he ended up singing it himself. It was no.1 for 4 weeks in 1974 and was also a Christmas no.1 for Westlife in 1999 as part of a double A side with 'I Have A Dream'. Terry Jacks is now an environmental activist.

50. Renee and Renato - Save Your Love 35 pts

 

Writers - Johnny Edward,Sue Edward

Top points - Good Old Days 22,dobbo 12,King Rollo 1

 

The one hit wonder and Christmas no.1 from 1982 and the first ever no.1 on a fully independent label. Co-writer Johnny Edward was the creator and voice of TV robot Metal Mickey. Renee was English singer Hilary Lester. She did not appear in the video. Sadly,Renato Pagliari died in 2009.

49. Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah 42 pts

 

Writer - Leonard Cohen

Top points - Alex! 18,vibe 10,ready for it 6

 

Another Christmas no.1 now,Alexandra's cover version of the Leonard Cohen song from 1984. She became the first female British singer to have a million selling single in the UK. A campaign by fans of Jeff Buckley led to his version reaching no.2 in the same week.

 

Hooray for that being so low. Not hooray for anyone nominating it to get this far in the first place.
No complaints about the first three going out there!
