Great little tune - downloaded it expecting it to be for kids, like Bob The Builder.

Instead you get a heartfelt lyric about how the singer felt when younget getting rides in his dad's JCB. For some reasons the lyrics (references to Mr.T, Transformers) evoke memories of beng small all over again.

Yes kids will like the video, but not a kids song.

This would be my choice for Xmas No.1, over X-Factor or G4 anyday. Who knows, could be worth a cheeky bet - I mean this time last year how many people thought Mad World would get to number 1?

Is Sir Cliff doing a Christmassy song this year? He usually does.

Yes, I admit it.. I'm a Cliff fan... I inherited it off Mum.

You'll be delighted to learn that Sir Cliff is indeed releasing a festive little ditty this year.

You might even jump for joy to learn it's a re-recording of a Cliff classic, Miss You Nights.

You may start to foam at the mouth when I tell you it's not only Cliff, but those hosed-down operatic X-Factorites, G4 who are singing with him.

As for the rest of us, shall we start to slicing our ears and eyes now?

Oh I like Miss You Nights by Cliffy Pops. Though don't like G4. Thought they were doing a ditty with the bust escaping Lesley Garratt? Maybe that was a bad dream.

Well I like the Ciffy option when the other options are Chicco Time or Peter and Jordan.

Though I do like the JCB song and video so perhaps that one for Christmas.

People do actually know what the lyrics are actually about don't they?
I doubt 'bob the builder' sings about how he was bullied in school by teachers bullies and teachers pets.

JCBSong.co.uk has an in-depth look into the lyrics of the song, if you read it i'm sure you'll understand it a lot better than you seem to now.

Not meaning to sound aggresive but the lyrics touch places very close to my heart.

Unfortunately, the music and the singing touch places very close to my pain-threshold!

Judging from the praise of the lyrics seen on here so far, perhaps it might sell better as a poem? ... It'd certainly be helping to spread the Xmas-spirit and in addition, being kinder to music-lovers if it were prose-only! ;)

Oh don't you start, I'm NOT a Westlife fan for flip sake.. Just cos I bought one of their singles last year, which wasn't even THEIR single really it was a cover version of somebody else's work.... :rolleyes: :P

I was never a fan of Boyzone either so you can shurrup on that score an' all :P

Yes, I have heard it and read about the lyrics. I still think it is suitable for a child. It touches many levels including the innocent. All my son will hear is about a boy and his dad in a JCB. I hear the other levels but I don't need to explain these to my son. I'm sure it touches many.

Does your Mum like Celine Dion? :gag:

My Mum also likes these Opera singers like Russell Watson, Katherine Jenkins et al.. Some of their songs are OK I s'pose, like the one Russell Watson did as the theme tune to Star Trek Enterprise.

Luke, I have to agree... top tune!

For reference......

Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB.
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sitting beside me.
And the engine rattles my bum like berserk
While we're singin, 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!'

My dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubblin and jokin' away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
are gettin all impatient and angry, but we dont mind.

An' we're holdin up the bypass
oh
Me and my dad havin a top laugh
oh woah

Sittin on the toolbox
oh
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

Oh no...

And we pull over to let cars past
And pull off again, speedin by the summer green grass
And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger

And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell all my mates that my dad's B.A. Baracus
Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas

And We're holdin up the bypass
oh
Me and my dad havin a top laugh
oh woah

Sittin on the toolbox
oh
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

And we're holdin up the bypass
oh oh

Me and my dad havin a top laugh
oh woah

I'm sittin on the toolbox
oh oh

And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss
So glad I'm not in school

-

Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.

You can never trust Cliff! It was only a few months ago he swore he was never going to release any more records, because people didn't want to hear them on the radio anymore. He said he was only going to do concerts now. :gag:

Mind you, even his worst song would be more exciting to listen to than any of this Pop Factor/X idol rubbish :gag: :gag: Come back Cliff, all is forgiven! ;)

Take that for me.

They've apparently got a previously unreleased song on their new album.

Now wouldn't that be a nice end to the year for the 'fame-starved' manchester muppets.

JCB song.....

I cant stress this enough.......

buy it, download it, and play it loud to anyone and everyone that you can...

had me filling up the first time I heard it...

the lyrics resonate for me on so many levels, and the way it's sung plucks every heartstring.....

best single of 2005 by a country mile......

:clap:

If there were any justice, the one linked to here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?postid=790000#post790000) in this thread, would be the Xmas #1 without a shadow of doubt... Neither Shayne nor that dozy, daft, dire digger dirge!

So click on the link, turn your pc sound up and listen to a song epitomising the true spirit of Xmas! ;)
