Anyone Want Some Festive Mash?
Who wants to play a little Christmas game, just to get the festive season off to a fun start?
OK, here's what we're going to do. If you remember a couple of months back, we attempted to reduce the Top 40 down to a meagre 17 songs in order to beat the credit crunch. Well, this game is a little bit like that, only Christmassy, and I'm not doing it all for you.
The name of the game is Christmas Mashups, and what you have to do is take the name of a Christmassy song, and the name of a recent pop song, and fuse them together in an entertaining way.
Your choices don't have to be taken from this week's Top 40, although if you listen to the Chart Show this Sunday, you'll probably get a good idea of the kind of thing we're after.
Or, if you can't wait, here's a few examples I baked earlier, and sprinkled with nutmeg.
Kings Of Leon & Wizzard
'I Wish I Could Have Sex On Fire Every Day'
The Brenda Lee & Guru Josh Project
'Rockin Around Infinity'
The Pogues & Daniel Merriweather ft. Wiley
'Fairytale Of Cash In My Pocket'
Katy 'Bandaged' Perry ft. John Lennon & Yoko Ono
'I Kissed A Little Drummer Boy (War Is Over)'
Mariah Carey & Miley Cyrus (ft. Various Artists)
'All I want For Christmas Is 7 Things - Grace, Issues, Girls, Delirium, Rain, My Parade, Rehab & A Ring On It'
OK, over to you. And remember, the best of these may end up being read out on Radio 1.
And the worst.
And probably some of the mid-level ones too...
