Me?  Since you ask, I joined the Facebook group for the craic, but didn’t download the track.  Still got the CD from when it came out.

    downloaded the track even though I have it on vinyl and donated to the charity. I loved the track when it first came out (went to see RATM at the Ritz in Manchester in 92 and it was an excellent gig).

    When Cameron came out for Cowell in the week, I knew I’d done the right thing. The forces of vacuous moneyed interests combining can only be for the purposes of evil.

    I also have fond memories of first hearing the song, although I think it has lost a bit of its impact over the years.

    I think I would have preferred the bandwagon to have chosen something different though.

    How about “Cashing In On Christmas” by Bad News?

    If you want a song to get behind next year it appears that Fairytale of New York never got to number 1…..

    Nor did Where’s Captain Kirk? (30 years ago today).
    I quite like the idea of a Facebook campaign to make Joe McElderberry’s current single next year’s xmas No .1 instead of next year’s X Factor winner…
