gutted that there wasn't more support for this children in need record at christmas-time. to quote jerry seinfeld "we're trying to have a civilisation here!"
As a commited Bowie fan I can only say that this is absolutely lovely. You would expect them to make light of a charity song but this is a good effort, particularly from Terry. I hope it sells millions.
Thanx for putting this up hellenbach - can someone tell me for sure if Terry & Aled are actually singing the harmony together in the 'middle eight' of the song, or is it Aled double-tracked? If it's both of them, then their voices blend really nicely
thank you terry and aled and all involved with this ace cd. am going to see if can buy copy of single, 4 song ep or complete bandaged cd at hmv tomorrow. if not will download ep from itunes. children in need for christmas number 1 please!
We've lost so many great British Pop institutions.
We lost Smash Hits.
We lost Top of the Pops.
We lost real Christmas number 1s to The X-Factor's non-Christmassy Borefest.
Top of the Pops is back for Christmas, let's bring back the real Christmas number 1 with this song. A song full of humour, warmth, goodwill and charity - the real meaning of Christmas, not the X-Factor epitome of commercialisation.
Fantastic, this is how Christmas should be, a real Christmas song for a fantastic cause not a song from a nobody from a popularity contest. Terry and Aled for Christmas number 1 2008 !!!!!
Terry and Aled have done a great job on this. After the revelations in recent weeks of what happened to vulnerable children surely no right minded person in this country could mock these two men for trying to raise funds and awareness for Children in Need. It is an excellent idea, excellent version, excellent video and has got to be a Christmas number 1. And well done to all the unsung heroes working away in the background to make it all possible.
I so love this. Aled has never been able to do any wrong as far as I'm concerned and, of course, since starting to listen to Terry's breakfast show about 2 years ago, I'm now a confirmed TOG. I ordered my copy of the Banaged CD before we knew it would be released for Christmas, I've waited patiently for 21 days now. Hellenbach, have you any influence to get my copy rushed to me very soon?!!! Love you Terry and Aled. H xx
Don't wait to but this. Getting to no.1 next week will just raise the awareness betond the radio 2 crowd. We need to gather momentum early on this. Otherwise we sinply won't beat X Factor head-to-head.
I agree Jon, let's pre order and get the single to number one next week. Then hopefully the interest will grow and people will buy the single with all the other lovely songs on it and help children in this country have a better life. What better gift?
Goosepimples every time. Bing and David never managed that! I'm told that if I delay getting this by a week, any CDs bought will count towards the Christmas No 1. It CAN'T be anything other than Sir Terry and Aled this year.
that was brilliant, both top blokes singing one top christman record.not quite as good as bing and david, but they are unbeatable. i really feel christmasy now.
Great song, TW is a much better presenter than anyone else on the Airwaves. Aled jones has put a bit of weight on since his flying in the air days. :). Great song though and will be purchased upon its launch by thousands I hope. Anything to keep the drivel that is X-Factor from the top of the charts.
I have been walking in the frosty air, so not sure if it was the cold or this beautiful rendition of a Christmas favourite that made me cry!! thanks Tel and the Jones boy. xx
Aled and Terry, you're both amazing! A breathtaking duet and SO moving. A superb and incredibly beautiful performance...thank for capturing the spirit of Christmas. A fabulous fundraiser for Children in Need too....on the 'BANDAGED' album.
"Redrover: A worthy follow up to The Floral Dance. Not sure about the young bloke though - is he a 'real' singer?? !! ;-))
I fell about laughing at this. Poor Terry ! He tried really hard with "The Floral Dance" (look up on YouTube)- he tried no to laugh while singing it - and did a great job sticking to his lines here, eh ? Very brave. He warned us he'd be "croaking in the background". I'm relieved they "did something with it". Aled's voice is just lovely AS ALWAYS - so relaxing ! GO TEAM !
At 01:19 i got a fright as i thought there heads had come away from their bodies. Buy it now. If it stops Cowell it'll be the ultimate good over evil.
Fantastic! There's going to be a problem getting hold of the single because Woolworth's has gone into administration. Chris Evans was told, on his Radio 2 show this evening, that people will have to pre-order it to make sure that they get it. I'm not sure where to pre-order it from, but I'm going to find out.
I hope this does really well... Im not really a fan, but it is hilarious, i know its not supposed to be but it just is. Its for a fantastic cause, and thats keeping Xfactor off the number one spot over christmas and keeping britains hard earned sterling out of simon cowells pocket.
gutted that there wasn't more support for this children in need record at christmas-time. to quote jerry seinfeld "we're trying to have a civilisation here!"
