Malcolm Middleton wishes you a Merry Christmas

My wife told me something yesterday that I hadn’t realized: there really is a traditional Christmas-time contest in the UK for the number-one music single, just like in Love Actually (but without Bill Nighy, sadly). Cor blimey!

M was amused to see that the current top contender is a bleaty little tune from wholly fictional, cloven-hoofed Shaun the Sheep of Aardman (that’s Wallace and Gromit to you, Yank) fame. We’ll have to wait and see if that entry can hold out against the slightly more dour offering from Malcolm Middleton - “We’re All Going to Die“:

Key lyric: “You’re gonna die, you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die alone. All alone.”

Er…cheers, mate!
