Dear Mr Geezer, sir

When was No.16 a Christmas No.1? Seems to be from "Saving all my love for you" by Whitney Houston. Right artist but wrong song?

Love
Mandy

Dear Ms Jones-Rowbottom

No 16 was indeed a Christmas number 1 for the aforementioned Ms Houston, in 1992.

diamond geezer | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 12:23 p.m. | #

But Mr Geezer, sir

In 1992 Ms Houston had a number 1 with a certain song from the film "The Bodyguard" which did not contain those lyrics, the one she sang in 1985, did though!

Ah, drat.
Ok, hang on while I change that and stick the proper lyric in instead.

Grrr, I'm then going to have to renumber part of the quiz. Don't worry, nobody will notice.

Sorted.

20 is Abba - the song is I have a dream - I think.

29 just has to be from a song called Ebeneezer Good - not sure who sings it - but he's a philosopher is a great "geezer" !!!

Jag | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 3:00 p.m. | #

2) A Child is Born (but I don't remember who it was by).
5) Save Your Love - Renee and Renato.

Is it really only two guesses each, or will you extend that if not enough answers are given?

Laura-Ann | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 3:02 p.m. | #

Jag - 20's the right song but wrong group.

Baby if you've got to go away, don't think I could.. etc etc.

#28 is Stay Another Day by East-17. On the playlist in another department at work today, I knew I'd heard it recently. Quite like that one.

sarah | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 9:05 p.m. | #

I like that one too.
Which just leaves number 19, anyone?

diamond geezer | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 9:08 p.m. | #

There's no one quite like grandma?

St winifrids school choir

Brian | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 9:52 p.m. | #

I know this is my third....Oh dear.... St.Winnifreds and "No-one Quite Like Grandma" I fear..... still IMHO this years is nearly as bad. I know 'tis one you've been championing but I don't get it.. maybe as they seem to have been playing it for the last 6 months on XfM I've had too much... and at least the Tears for Fears version was over quicker (sorry, not a fan and I rather liked the absurdity of the Darkness one).

AND I'm in big trouble as I'd told my kids the Darkness WERE #1 for Xmas... even more evidence that dad doesn't know what he's talking about!

NiC | Homepage | 21.12.03 - 9:56 p.m. | #

Doh! And I took so long to write it I got beaten anyway, rats!

what happened to the top of your post? last night it looked different.

brooklyn | 22.12.03 - 9:55 a.m. | #

Er, everyone assumed The Darkness were going to win the Xmas No 1 race, by miles, so originally I went along with that. Like so...

I was underwhelmed by The Darkness when I saw them at Knebworth back in August. Maybe that's what comes of spending too many hours of my life in Lowestoft. Nevertheless that's no musical turkey they've pulled out of the hat this Christmas, and singer Justin's glam bravado will win the band a coveted place in the festive chart hall of fame later this afternoon. Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) will be the first Christmas record to top the Christmas chart since 1990, and also only the sixth Christmas number one in 50 years to mention the word 'Christmas' in the title.

And then everyone turned out to be wrong, and Gary Jules slipped in instead, so I rewrote the intro. Damn, somebody noticed
