RM #3: Muppets

Some other funny muppet videos floating about include "Pulp Muppets", Beaker's "ode to joy" and Statler & Waldorf montage.
And from Sesame Street, "Furry Happy Monsters"

The first UK chart of 2010 produces a new #1 in Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" knocking off Joe McElderry's "The Climb". So in the end if Rage against Machine managed to hold on for a second week at #1, it could have denied young Joe reaching the #1 spot. Coincidentally, Rage against the Machine may well have set a record in the UK Top 40 by falling from #2 all the way down to #40. Black Eyed Peas return to the top 3 with "Meet me halfway"

Random Musings - Day #365

Well final day of the year. Made about 900 quid, backing winner after winner. But my camera may have broke! Nevermind!
Roll on 2010! Gonna to change my random musings a bit... i.e. title. But going to be out and about in 2010. We shall see what happens this year.

Looking for the chart of the year 2009. The bigtop40

Random Musings - Day #361

Irony
Looks like Joe McElderry was merely delayed the inevitable as takes "the climb" up to #1. Certain amount of irony is that despite Rage against the machine denying him the topspot for the Christmas #1.
Also ironic is they have been showing clips of Michael Jackson announcing his "this is it" tour as his "final curtain call..." I'm afraid that was it!

Also never ask someone, "where you can find mr happy, in a store". Don't be surprised if someone removes their pants as a consequence!

Random Musings - Day #333

You can move like Michael Jackson.
Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band (The official Children in Need Medley) defies the odds slightly by not appearing on x-factor and knocks off the x-factor finalists from the top. Jason Derulo is back at #3 with "Whatcha say"

Sunday, 22 November 2009

Random Musings - Day #326

X-Factor finalists are at #1 with the old Michael Jackson song, "You are not alone". Black eyed peas slip to #2 and Jason Derulo debuts with "Whatcha say" at #3.
Jedward are out finally.

Random Musings - Day #312

Northwich Victoria of the Conference North knocked out Charlton Athletic, 1-0 in the FA Cup 1st round. And from the performance, which you could call Charlton Pathetic, I fail to see how we/they are 2nd in League 1. I had a bad feeling about that match.

I also had a feeling that Danyl might go tonight from x-factor. Thankfully, I was wrong. He's really the only reason for watching the show now. Particularly, as Simon Cowell didn't have the balls to make a decision for the second week running and this time didn't put Jedward out of their misery. Hence byebye Lucie due to the "public vote".

Meanwhile, JLS score their second #1 and knock off Cheryl Cole from the top with "Everybody in love". While Black-eyed peas who were guests on tonight's x-factor are up into the top 3 with "Meet me halfway"

Sunday, 1 November 2009

Random Musings - Day #305

It's All Saints day.

On X-Factor, I was happy that Danyl stayed for another week. The bad press he's getting has got to him. He's the best singer in the competition, although I have a sneaky suspicion, he's peaked too early.

Cheryl Cole is still #1 on the UK Charts fending off Westlife's "What about now" and Jay Sean's "Down"

Hmmm I think I've made up 3 dance moves and the best way to describe them is in their names... the basketball pivot, the weaving slide and the crossover moonwalk...

Also went to The Globe on the south bank of London. I should really check out a play next term as like in the good old days you actually stand up for the whole show for cheap. The exhibition was fascinating. Particularly the urine being used as a stain remover for costumes.
"What the dickens" has nothing to do with Charles Dickens as he's 19th century. The term originate from a Shakespeare's play, "Merry wives of Windsor". Also didn't know that Sam Wanamaker was the person most responsible for bringing the globe theatre back. I immediately twigged that actress Zoe is in fact his daughter.

Random Musings - Day #298

[Oct 25]
I've not checked properly but I believe Cheryl Cole is #1 and x-factor now sucks as the wrong group goes out.

Random Musings - Day #291

The fairytale story has been completed for Jensen Button. To think at the start of the year, he was without a car and likely to be sitting a job centre with us mere mortals rather than sitting on the grid makes this turnaround sublime.

Beachballgate has turned a few heads, particularly as it turns out, it probably should have disallowed as it was foreign object that interfered with the course of play. When I say foreign, I don't mean the players! Check it out for yourself as Darren Bent scored via a deflection from a liverpool beach ball.

Wow, the knives are already out for Whitney Houston after a sub-par performance. Her performance was ok and she looked good but it was her post-performance interview that was questionable. She seemed very slow, forgetful and unsure when interviewed about the competition. More thoughts found at unreality.

Talking of x-factor, last week's performers on the show debuted at #1 and #2 on the UK chart. Alexandra Burke long-awaited comeback song "Bad boys" gives her second #1. Whilst Robbie Williams is back with "Bodies". Meanwhile last week's #1, Chipmunk is now #3.

Sunday, 11 October 2009

Random Musings - Day #284

Chipmunk is #1 with Oopsy Daisy. Saturdays at #2 with Forever is over. Jay-Z is #3 with Empire state of mind.

BTW I forgot to post last week and last week's chart had Taio Cruz at #1 (this week at #4), David Guetta with Akon at #2 and Jay-Z at #3.

Interesting blog where there is some commentary is at wwadh.

Random Musings - Day #263

Pixie Lott falls hard as drops from the top to a lowly #6. Taio Cruz debuts at #1 with "Break your heart". Amazingly David Guetta is stuck at #2 as Madonna also debuts at #3 with "Celebration".

Random Musings - Day #249

Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West tag up and wrestle the number 1 spot from Dizzie Rascal and David Guetta. Sugababes regroup at #2 with "Get sexy"

Sunday, 30 August 2009

Random Musings - Day #242

Dizzee Rascal toasts another #1 hit with "Holiday". It's nothing to do with the old Madonna song though. David Guetta slips to #2 and the Black eyed peas at #3.

The Notting Hill Carnival is in full swing.

Random Musings - Day #235

David Guetta scores another UK #1 but this time, it's with Akon on the song called "Sexy chick". Black eyed peas are back at #2 and Tinchy Stryder is at #3.

If you spot someone trying to ask you to check out photos of yourself at friends.gallery-spaces.com, it's a virus. Not only that I believe it originated from Mexico much like swine flu.
Here's a nice list of known malicious sites

Random Musings - Day #229

Just a last thing about Eindhoven. Those clear plastic bags that you are required to put liquids in cost 20 cents. That's the first airport I know of where you get charged for that.

Black eyed peas are still at #1 with "I've gotta feeling". #2 is with Tinchy Stryder. Calvin Harris ia at #3 with "Ready for the weekend", which is the name of his new album.

There's a strange (space cowboy) mix going about of Lady Gaga's "Love game (discostick)"

Random Musings - Day #221

Just quick one really. Very tired from going to Reading. That's very vibrant especially as it is a university town with the busiest place being of all places Yates. But no hanging around the pubs and bars for me as it was work for me.

The UK chart is really static with no less that 5 former #1s in the top 11 and that's excluding the current #1. So you could say 6 of the top 11 have been #1. New #1 as Amelle from the sugababes teams up with Tinchy Stryder on "Never leave you". Black eyed peas are back to #2 and Mr Hudson and Kanye at #3

Random Musings - Day #214

An amazing story as it turns out as Catriona Matthew won the women's British Open. What made it amazing was she only gave birth to a second girl 11 weeks old at ripe age of 39 and was also caught in a fire in a hotel the previous week.
I was a bit curious about her playing partner on the final round, Christina Kim who likes to wear berets backwards. With her pigtails, she look a bit like cammy (or to be more exact a cross between cammy and chun li). She's a got a twitter page.

The UK singles chart is turning into a merry-go-round as the top 3 is the same as last week but in a different order and certainly not in the order expected. Having got stuck at #3 last week, Black eyed peas climb to the top displacing JLS at #2 whilst Mr Hudson and Kanye West fail to improve their debut entry at #2 last week as they slip to #3.

It's funny whilst waiting for a bus, I started to retrance those dance steps that I saw on youtube. Well unbeknown to me, a couple of kids were looking at me practising and wanted to know what/how I was doing that. Made me think if I were younger or more to the point why didn't do dancing sooner?

Tuesday, 28 July 2009

Random Musings - Day #207

JLS remain at #1 holding off Mr Hudson and Kanye West's "Supernova". Black eyed peas stay at #3 with "I've gotta feeling"

Random Musings - Day #200

I was quite enthralled by the Open tournament in which Tom Watson rolled back the years to be 10 inches from winning in 9th major golf title. He's nearly 60, so there is hope for us all. In the end, Stewart Cink outlasted him to win.

Next time someone tells you that they are London boy. Ask them what they were dancing in 1989? If they don't know they aren't really a London boy

JLS, runners up on the last x-factor debut at #1 with the run of the mill r&b track, "Beat again". Cascada drops to #2 and Black eye peas are back at #3 with "I gotta a feeling"

Random Musings - Day #173

Well I've arrived and saw the movie "he's just not into you" which is no way as good as the book. By the way, I saw "Taken", "The International", "The Wrestler" and the best of those seen, "Gran Torino". Favourite seen was the barbershop insult scenes.

Apparently the Stig was finally revealed as Michael Schumacher.

David Guetta moves from #7 to #1 with Kelly Rowland on "When loves takes over".
Pixie Lott and Black eyed peas slip one place each to accommodate Guetta's move.
