As some of you will have noticed, I have been intermittently posting entrants for Worst Lyrics In The World ... Ever! I was pleased to see that the virus has sperad and clarisinda has submitted a very creditable entry.

However, on the way to work this morning, I was reminded of a vital fact I had somehow ignored.

Ladies and gentleman, the cushion lies empty. The crown was taken a long time ago, and nothing will ever wrest it back. There are many pretenders to the crown of Worst Lyric in the World ... Ever! But there is only one king.

I give you:

[I always worry, when listening to something really appalling on my headphones, that an Avatar of thr Aklmighty will walk up to me on the street and point out my crime to the world. Not that I'm paranoid or anything...]

I went to the Grafton Centre t lunch, which was always going to be a mistake at this time of year.

Consequently I have copped my first earful of Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody" for the 2007 season.

No turning back now [sigh]

I woul like to record a new vesion of the other pop staple of this period, retitled "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Once A Year", as currently it's Christmas about fifty times a year as far as I can tell.


Seriously, I wonder if a sufficiently large movement could be arranged of people who didn't buy before, say, December 1st from any shop with Christmas decorations and themes up. I have no especial dislike of Christmas, even of commercial Christmas, but I do think it could be corralled into one month rather than three without too much loss on any side.
