10. CHRIS HILL - "RENTA SANTA" and "BIONIC SANTA"

A special two-in-one for you today! I've decided to feature both of Chris' hits together, seeing as they both entered the chart in the first week of December (1975 and 1976), both reached No.10, and both spent 7 weeks on the chart.

 

Chris Hill was a UK DJ who later handled A&R for Ensign Records. He still DJs at soul weekenders to this day.

 

Having trouble uploading them for some reason, and there's nothing on Youtube either :(

Other festive No.10s :

 

Cliff Richard - "We Should Be Together" (1991)

 

Jane McDonald - "Cruise Into Christmas" (1998)

 

The Cheeky Girls - "Have A Cheeky Christmas" (2003)

so #10 isnt a classic number for crimbo hits!

 

i didnt like chris hills songs, weak jokes that were smile-worthy at best.

I liked them at the time (or a few years later when I was able to get the 'joke') but I suppose they do sound a bit dated now. Good fun though!

If Ensign Records is called that because its supposed to be N-Sign records, N for Nigel Grainge and Chrysalis is named that as its the record label was formed by Chris Wright and Terry Ellis, does that mean that Virgin.... :lol:

Aah I remember Chris Hill from the days of Caister and the pirated Kiss FM didn't know he had bought out songs :o

I remeber that Renta Santa was one of those records like The Look's "I am the beat" on vinyl which never ends due to the groove looping .

The last word that keeps repeating is player , "give me back my record player,player,player,player.....

pity Feeder didnt do the same thing...tho its sad to think maybe that was a steal.

 

The never ending recod by the Look was mentioned in the mag quite recently and were in the random one-hit wonder section in (i think) mojo the other month...so i guess they will be on totp2 soon as the cola boy fact was just taken directly from that article about cola boy
