    This song and video is disgusting. Christmas is a time for Jesus, and the Spirit of Christmas and Santa Claus and children. It makes a pure laughing stock of the Irish to have a song like this reach to number 1. Im praying it doesnt make it. I for one certainly wont down load it and will switch of the radio when it comes on.

    I'd much prefer it to the manufactured X-Factor rubbish to be honest.

    It's a laugh, not festive I know but a good laugh. Don't take it too seriously.

    Then go out and buy up 10,000+ copies of something other than the X-factor single.

    I quite like the rubberbandits song. I'm sure Jesus had a horse outside of whatever building he happened to be inside. Or a camel. So it is very appropriate IMO.

    Not particularly keen on it myself but in saying that, I don't give a sh*t either way. Good luck to them.

    Edit: Just after listening to the interview on Joe Duffy, my opinion has slightly changed on them. And on reflection, the song is not too bad & actually quite well produced. I can't stand Joe Duffy. What a *************

    Anyway by starting a thread on Ireland largest message board you're giving them even more publicity ;)

    I never heard of them until today when I read about them on boards and then got the liveline podcast

    No 1 in itunes Irish store for one example

    I don't get why the song and video is disgusting?

    You have some far out definition of disgusting so. Seriously, the language is nothing a ten year old wouldn't know. "****" is disgusting now? :confused:

    Fair enough when it goes "I'll ride you like a horse" to the the women, but again doubt too many kids care...

    And the radio/tv version is clean. Which basically ruins it anyway.

    Also what is religion to do with the Christmas number 1? I say this as a very religious person.

    Would Matt Cardle's new song, which is the favourite, be anymore Christian or Christmasy? Nope.

    It's just a one off funy song ffs, it will wear off in a few weeks like the Jumbo Breakfast Roll a few years ago.

    Na man, it sucks in my opinion, ****e musically as well. But no man, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if I had the choice between that X Factor Biffy Clyro cover (me hating X Factor & severly disliking Biffy), and those awful common things the Rubberbandits do, I would choose X Factor sadly enough - based on hearing 2 songs I don't necessarily like, I chose the one I dislike the least.

    FRANK ZAPPA FOR CHRISTMAS NO. 1!!!!!

    In the last ten years, the christmas number one has been religious once, Alexandra Burke's cover of Hallelujiah. While being religious, that cover is a crime against nature.

    I'm not a fan of the religious aspect of it to be honest as I don't agree with it, but I do feel the festive nature is worth while. I would just rather something which is musically acceptable.

    I think the dead giveaway here is that the OP put RUBBER BANDITS in the title.

    What has the Christmas number 1 got to do with Jesus or Santa?

    It's not like some devil worship song is going to be number 1 and to celebrate we're going to sacrifice a church full of virgins.

    How many other years has some random pop crap been Christmas number 1 and nobody has ever batted an eyelid. Why are Jesus and Santa offended this year?

    And by the way, Santa is a tool of commercialism that was cleverly tacked on to a religious celebration in order to fool millions of people into parting with their hard earned cash. Let's celebrate that instead.

    That's not how it sounded when they were on the radio earlier. I've never once heard it said by someone involved that it was for charity.
