Seriously man. What were you thinking?

Every time I hear you singing "Golden Brown" I feel pain.

YABU. Stop it.

Just stop.

Stop.

[VanillaSugarAndChristmasSpice]

Brown Sugar.

[OhGodWhatTheHellNow]

Aargh cross post

Richard thank goodness you've already told her - that means your not my DC

[Namechangeemergency]

Its not just him.
They all do it.
Male comedians get to a certain level of success and a certain age and they start singing.

Its.just.awful.

I imagined this as an Alan Partridge voiceover.

To completely sidetrack, everyone should listen to the two Partridge audiobooks; I, Partridge and Nomad. So funny.
Back of the net!

Omg namechange you are totally right! I never thought of it, but they do!!!!

I wonder what Richard Osman makes of it?

[VanillaSugarAndChristmasSpice]

Peter Kaye's Greatest Hits:

Good Glorious Food!
Brown sugar (different interpretation)

[HairyToity]

Love Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, not heard the album though - no comment.

[cosytoaster]

Everyone knows Golden Brown is about heroin - not quite everyone, I had no idea

[VanillaSugarAndChristmasSpice]

Jack Whitehall's Greatest Hits:

Moony River
That's what I go to school for

[RichardBucket]

redshoeblueshoe Maybe it's a double bluff...

[SittingDrinkingTea]

Here's his next album cover...

[Princecharlesfirstwife]

I suspect my DM has the AA album on her xmas list. She's 75. And probably thinks golden brown is a song about syrup.

Angel by Sarah Mcloghlan (sp) the song that everybody plays at their granny's funeral, is about heroin addiction.

[supersop60]

notyoda What is it about Alfie Boe that you don't like?
AA is a rather good musical theatre singer and has done a lot of stage work
(but i agree - this album is a load of cheese)

[TwinkleTwinkleLittleBat]

Brabbins and Fyffe were brilliant, he should have stuck with that.

[RichardBucket]

SittingDrinkingTea Brilliant!

[RitaCrudgington]

It's the fact that he just will not bloody stop singing even when he's on a programme where nobody else ever sings. And he's on Classic FM which I hate with a passion (mostly because my DPs subject me to it and the adverts drive me up the wall).

I love him dearly in everything else but he badly needs to restrict his singing to the bath.

[PickAChew]

At least it's not a series of cringeworthy supemarket adverts.

[SittingDrinkingTea]

I feel a bit mean now because I do actually like him, as long as he's not singing.

[IcedVanillaLatte]

It's possible that it's actually immoral - every year, millions of CDs are produced of music nobody will ever listen to, music which was not published to be listened to, but to be bought for someone else to listen to. Someone else who won't, in fact, ever listen to it. Because surely, surely, nobody has ever bought one of this type of Christmas album for themselves, or been thrilled to receive and play it.

And immoral to let poor, deluded celebrities, who've spent their careers yearning for the thing they think is their real purpose in life, believe they're producing something people actually like.

Or is there someone out there who actually likes this stuff? I've never met them.

[IcedVanillaLatte]

I like him too apart from the Countryside Alliance shit - that's why I'm so disappointed in him
