The Xmas Factor: best seasonal song ever?

[matgb]

Ye gods, what a silly publicity stunt for a radio show, running a silly online poll in a cheap rip off of some TV show I've not watched. Still, what do we expect from Capital Gold:

The day's match is launched during the Capital Gold Breakfast Shows. You then have 24 hours in which to vote for your favourite song out of the day's choices.

The daily champs will move into the next round until we have the 2006 Xmas Factor Champion. The winner will be announced on Friday December 22.

Thing is? The finalists are some Queen song^[1] and Fairy Tale of New York. Given yesterdays discussion, the results should be conclusive, but it appears that there are some fans of that godawful Queen song. As I look, it's exactly 50/50. So go make a choice. No pressure of course. Vote.

[1]Queen may have once been Mat's favourite band ever. He currently denies this having discovered a sense of musical taste. However, there are still a number of songs by them that rate as all-time greats, even if they are cheesy pomp rock. The song competing against FONY isn't one of those greats.

[2] Oh yeah, aside. I mentioned I'm using Deepest Sender to make Braindumps for memes and links I want to write about later, yes? Well, um, I currently have 12 posts in the line up. I'm assuming you don't want them all at once?

I'm not wondering if the Queen fans are deleting their cookies and reposting.

I hate that Pogues song. I'm not voting for Queen either though.

Testing OpenID login. If this works, I'm scared.

I was about to enquire what Deepest Sender was but then I actually got off my own fat ass and looked it up.

Looks very interesting. Would be more useful to me if it was a standalone application that could post to many journals at once, but it still looks useful. Maybe one day I'll be able to install firefox at work for more than just "compatability testing" purposes.
