Tired of Simon Cowells pet karaoke project stealing the christmas number one?

[Knoxville]

Good on him. But I'd never buy the Xfactor single, I probably would have purchased the CiN single as part of this though but I realise the charity get more through direct donation so won't buy it now.

Seems a lot of faff, it would have been better/easier/more productive to choose a single that proceeds go straight to charity. Bottom line is it would have created more for said charity (as it would go fairly directly to them) and been purchased by more people which would do more for the 'cause'
Also i'm pretty sure they didn't choos RATM as they/Tom had done things for charity in the past, I understand he says a few naughty words like 'flipping' in this single...

I don't disagree at all man, it would have been much better if Rage had rewritten their cover of Maggies farm, switched Maggies name for Simon Cowell's and released it properly with all the proceeds going to a worthy cause from the get go. This fan campaign has mobilized a group of people that never ever would have bought Peter Kays CiN single or any other single this christmas for that matter. People that were going to buy it still are, CiN still get all the money they would have in the first place and another worthy cause, Shelter is getting a nice boost as well so everyone wins in my opinion

As for the naughty words, I'm not going to lie it probably hasn't hurt sales as far as younger more impressionable listeners go but I think for most of us it's a track that we enjoy, have some nostalgia for and one that has a message (albeit a 17 year old mildly ironic one) if the person that started this campaign just wanted a rap metal track with plenty of cursing in the top ten we'd all be talking about Limp Bizkits "Hot Dog" right now

Blocked at work. Can you give us a clue ?

It's a Downfall parody, a funny one too

[Clunk]

Cowell has his own label under Sonys umbrella

Hitler finds out Rage have made it to number one so he resigns himself to watching re-runs of strictly come dancing

My vote would then be for Blinks 182's "The Dog Song"

This also means Simon Cowell and Hitler are allies...

Did they expect any less.
I guess it's in the song what they think of people telling them to do things.
