I'm Luke, I'm Five and my Dad's Bruce Lee.

[Dan]

Drives me round in his JCB.

[fourstarfizzle]

I recorded an acoustic cover of that song for my dad for crimbo, as I did used to go to work with him on his JCB on some weekdays off from school.

It's number 1 for now, but I think it's gonna get crushed by that X Factor twat next week.

[tristy]

I don't get it.

[fourstarfizzle]

I don't get it.

[K]

I'll tell all my mates, my dad's BA Barracus.

Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nun-chukkas

[probablyoliver]

And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex

And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets.

[Guest muddatrucker27]

His Dad could be Muhammed Ali for all I care, doesn't make it any less of a shit song.

[Liam]

His Dad could be Muhammed Ali for all I care, doesn't make it any less of a shit song.

Agreed.

Only heard it once...and I was like "....meh".

[Pander Opiate]

It is a really bad song. If it had been written by a five year old it would be fine but as an actual song it is as shit as shit can be.

[King Ellis]

I disagree with a point brought up in Dan's MSN name.

DON'T go and buy the JCB song. Let's NOT get it to number one.

Do go and buy The Pogues. Let's get it to number one.

Is that a re-release of "The Fairytale of New York", or a song I haven't heard of?

If the former, then I agree with Ellis.

[King Ellis]

Indeed. It's being rereleased and the proceeds will go to the Kirsty McColl Memorioum fund or some such.

Them or The Editors, it's all good.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Then the obvious choice for Christmas single purchase is The Pogues.

It's an amazing song and a worthy cause for a sad tragedy.

And it's a million times better than any of the other releases...

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

Wait...the Pogues are re-releasing that?

Fuck the JCB song.

[gunnar hendershow]

This is a pretty bad song... and I get the pleasure to hear American top 40 every day of my life. So that means a lot coming from me.

I don't think the record company realised how popular Fairytale Of New York would be - we were sold out by the time I started work on Monday at 12. I wanted a copy too.

As for the JCB Song, it's not bad, it has a story and meaning, and it's preferable to the other pap that's going for number one, whether it be just blatantly manufactured crap (Shayne Ward) or a godawful cover (Westlife, G4). Still, would rather see The Pogues there than anyone.

[AJ]

The JCB Song is shit, and so are The Pogues.

I suggest you all buy Coldplay's 'Talk' to avoid any one of Shayne, Nizlopi or Girls Aloud taking Christmas #1.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Girls Aloud won't take it.

Though the others are a worry...

[Scott McFly]

I actually really like Coldplay too, but they don't stand a chance this week, and I think The Pogues are out of it due to lack of copies being available. It's pretty much between Nizlopi and Shayne, and in that instance I'd prefer Nizlopi.

[King Ellis]

Apparently Shayne is set to get number 1 with ease. HMV said it could sell around 500,000.
