EEVILMURRAY Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I still really don't understand the song choice. Whatever happened to fun and quirky Christmas number 1s? Because emo rockers like breaking the mould. Whilst still getting presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Because emo rockers like breaking the mould. Whilst still getting presents. Ah come on now this song existed when the oldest emos were still toddlers. I can't believe rage is doing so well though. Even to get this far is good. Still doubt it will win though although I hoped to be proved. It's helped by the fact that the x factor song is really shit, like worse than usual shit.

EEVILMURRAY Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ah come on now this song existed when the oldest emos were still toddlers. Yet it was picked out of all the emo songs out there. I fail to see what your point is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Saw this on the news, pretty damn hilarious. What's funnier is the hate for RATM. Weird how people get so passionate about OTHER peoples music tastes. Who the hell even cares you're not the ones listening to it. Each to their own and all that no? Christ. Plenty of stuff out there I don't like but it doesn't mean it's crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the pre-emptive hate for the X Factor winner more humourous. At least I knew this song and it's shitness beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 OK...just a thought, and I'm probably wrong, but don't Simon own the Sony label now? The X Factor winners are signed by Sony, also signed by Sony are Rage Against The Machine...either way, Simon wins. You can argue and say "We'd put a stop to manufactured music" and stuff but it won't. Anyway, wasn't this about not letting Simon get to number 1 and not putting money in his pocket? Well, wouldn't buying either Joe's or Rage Against The Machine's song put money in his pocket anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yeah.... Er. Check out page 2 for the start of that argument. I stand by my original point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I still really don't understand the song choice. Whatever happened to fun and quirky Christmas number 1s? Read the lyrics. It really doesn't get much more simple than 'Fuck you I won't do what you tell me.' It's about cultural subversion and that's all it is because if people were actually sticking two fingers up at capitalism, or whatnot, they'd buy a track from an unsigned artist or something along those lines.

mcj metroid Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Yet it was picked out of all the emo songs out there. I fail to see what your point is. Why do you consider it an emo song? because it has expressive lyrics? could be wrong just never saw it as an emo song... Doesn't really matter anyway Edited December 15, 2009 by mcj metroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) I would laugh so much if RATM AND Joe would be beat by... And I don't care what anyone says, this song is awesome! Audio Edited December 15, 2009 by Animal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about cultural subversion and that's all it is because if people were actually sticking two fingers up at capitalism, or whatnot, they'd buy a track from an unsigned artist or something along those lines. I think they think they're sticking two fingers up to Simon Cowell. But he's not singing...and he'll still make money anyway... The ironic thing is - RATM are signed by a Sony subsidiary and so is Simon Cowell. So no matter which people choose Sony profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Perhaps but then the facebook group have set up a just giving page which is making a lot of money for a charity (cant remember who) which is a brilliant idea. 750,000 members, of course not everyone is going to donate but people are. Think they made £30,000 already. And as for getting RATM to number 1, it's all just a bit of fun. Can't believe how serious some people are taking it. Sounds like it is doing well, be interesting to see how far it does reach by sunday, I think a top 5 is possible if sales continue like they are. But after tomorrow with the release of the x factor CD I reckon that will smack it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was first thought but the facebook group guy checked with Amazon and the official charts people and had it confirmed that it counts. Apparently.....

weeyellowbloke Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Personally I'd go for Fucked Up-Do They Know It's Christmas Time.
