It's almost that time of year again...
10. Matt Cardle - When We Collide (2010)
Originally a half-decent Biffy Clyro song called Many Of Horror, any sense of mild peril was stripped away by changing the title and sticking Cardle on vocals. Yawn.
9. Mr Blobby - Mr Blobby (1993)
It might be Blobby's name up top, but it was Edmonds pulling the strings. All downhill from here though.
8. Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine (1988)
Fuck off, Cliff.
7. The Spice Girls - Goodbye (1998)
The Spice Girls' 3rd Christmas chart-topper in a row, this. And thankfully, their last.
6. St Winifred's School Choir - There's No One Quite Like Grandma (1980)
Fun fact: After hitting the big time at such a young age, 73% of the singers in this video are, or have at some stage, received treatment for drug and alcohol dependency. Caulkin-esque.
5. Bob The Builder - Can We Fix It? (2000)
He was on Cowboy Builders the other week. So next time you're singing along to this, think of poor ol' Melinda Messenger having to flash the big'uns in exchange for a free futon.
4. Michael Jackson - Earth Song (1995)
The God-complex first evident in Man In The Mirror, and later Heal The World, reaches it's logical conclusion. Dick.
3. Westlife - I Have A Dream (1999)
I had a dream once. It involved Westlife being impaled on their own up-turned stools. Good dream.
2. Shayne Ward - That's My Goal (2005)
One week in November 2005, Shayne Ward did some sponsored driveway tarmac-ing for Children In Need. His goal was 20 in 5 days, and he succeeded, raising £361.70 in the process.
1. Leon Jackson - When You Believe (2007)
Nope, me neither.
