The Christmas number one

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!

Does that not clash with your Westlife and Boyzone albums

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....

 

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

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

My mum would love you! She never managed to get me to like Cliff, despite all her attempts. The rest of her music taste, yep, I'm fine with...but Cliff?

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.

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?

 

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
