Please everyone lets get The Bird Is The Word by the Trashmen to number 1 to beat the X-Factor machine! It's upto no 5 in the charts!

Hey. It's that song off Full Metal Jacket. I reckon X Factor will will triumph this year because there will be quite a few campaigns for an alternative Xmas number 1 and people won't just get behind a single song.
There are also several facebook campaigns; it has as much if not more momentum than RATM did last xmas..
I'm an early adopter of the John Cage campaign (kinda the opposite of The Bird ), but will probably get behind which ever has most chance, as they are both glorious. 4.33 seems to have more publicity but less momentum (personally I prefer the remix) and The Bird is second favourite with most bookmakers. Like I said though, I think both will fail. Personally I think the best chance of success would be to pick something great, but still xmassy. Did you know Fairytale of New York never got to number 1?
I thought 4 minutes of silence was the campaign against Xfactor? Could land up splitting support over several songs.
I'm going to destroy you... it was funny when we got RATM to the top. But for god sake don't pervert the music industry, we'll end up with meme's/annoyed political figures/hitler coming back from the dead. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T DO IT!
Everyone's supporting an alternative number one because last year it was cool and original and "we made a difference man, yeah!" - this year its just lemmings off a cliff. All that actually happened last year, was to put money in the pocket for RATM; although for those who could get there, the free concert was a nice touch. Joe was still number two last year, so the money STILL lined Simon Cowell's pocket. I'm not going to be buying any song, because in my little insignificant world, radio is where music comes from, and you don't have to pay for that. Its just a shame that this year's song is actually a really good Biffy Clyro song, and instead, I'm going to be subjected to all these random bollocks songs that are being chart-bombed, and will inevitably end up on the radiom because they play "popular songs" ... ugh.
There is EVERY need to stop these festering, talentless morons from getting the public adulation they so dearly crave. I hate the **** factor and everything it stands for. It is my destiny to do everything in my power to stop it.
I'd rather people didn't think "WOW THATZ SO AWEZOMES!" because it isn't. I'm a huge RATM fan, I love alternative music, but then.... what right do we have to act trollish (lol) towards people who don't? Hell I haven't watched xfactor, those idiots who tell me everything via Facebook have been deleted, if you don't like the music, don't watch x-factor and don't listen to the radio. Find somewhere that your music tastes are satisfied instead of thinking... "my music must be listened to by all!"
This type of thing probably gives the xfactor even more publicity. Id preffer if something else was done, not just doing the same thing as last year with a different song.
