The Christmas No1 - 4'33" of Silence

[threebikesmcginty]

So it's another attempt to hijack the Chrissy No1 slot and take it away from the X-Factor lot.

This year rather than get a re-release to number 1 some 'celebs' have re-recorded a classic piece of work, John Cage's 4'33" of silence. I've heard them both and to my highly tuned ear, they've ruined it...

This is the work performed for a BBC concert...

John Cage beat your record of silence by 4min 20s, 3BM

B3ta.com is trying to get this topical little ditty to Number 1 for Christmas.
Not safe for work. Really, it isn't.
Not for the easily offended either...

Too sophisticated for a hillbilly like you, rich - get back to your Dolly Wynette and Hank Whitman. Probably got the volume too low anyway...

I thought the Simon & Garfunkel version was a lot better.

I like The Tremeloes version, Silence is Golden

I prefer the Simon and Garfunkel version myself...

Trouble is, it's only a matter of time before I'm caught singing the chorus in public...
