We Love Countdown, Series 60 Style

[Jason Larsen]

Now that we know Countdown will become Carey-fied for the 60th series, I would like to share my Series 60 version of We Love Countdown with you all. Before I do, I would like to thank these three people.



BRUCE FORSYTH, for dancing to the tune this song should be sung to 13 years ago.



DREW CAREY, for doing the exact same thing last year.

And most of all...



EDD KALEHOFF, for composing this wonderful tune.

My Series 60 version should be sung/read faster than Jon O'Neill read my Series 59 version in my podcast. Without further ado, here it is!

Ch, ch-ch-ch
Ch, ch-ch-ch
Ch, ch-ch-ch
Ch, ch-ch-ch

We love Countdown
We go to town
We play it forever and ever and ever
It's always in bounds
The incredible game of Countdown
Let's make some words and let's do some math and win a nice teapot
Oh, Jeff
Oh, Jeff Stelling, we love you so
Yes, we love Jeff
We love you so, we love you so
We love Countdown
We go to town
We love Countdown
We go to town
We play it forever and ever and ever
It's always in bounds
The incredible game of Countdown
Let's make some words and let's do some math and let's make some words, let's do some math and win

Yes, Dan!

Alexander reminds me of a cross between Drew Carey and Dale Winton, only much less crude!

[Dan Vanniasingham]

...a cross between Drew Carey and Dale Winton...

For the benefit of Jason Cullen - this is my #1 phobia.

[Jason Larsen]

That's the way I think of it, Dan, only in a good way!

[Michael Wallace]

Dear Internet,

What.

Love,

Raccoon Boy




P.S. Raccoon Boy?

I'm repeating my post from the welcome thread, since I first saw Jason's new song there, and new members might enjoy the podcast link:

Wonderful, Jason!

In case anyone wants to listen to Jon O'Neill's tribute to Jason's original song, here it is:

Very movingly read as a poem for Jason's birthday.

I found the tune to We Love Countdown! Just sing the song faster than Jon O'Neill read it for my birthday and sing the words in my Countdown song instead of the words the other guy sings.

[Jeff Clayton]

...Alexander, we love you so
You're our new friend
We love you so, we love you so
We love Countdown...

Sounds like something you might hear at St. James' Park on a cold Saturday afternoon:

Oh Alexander, we do
Oh Alexander, we do
Oh Alexander, we do
Oh Alexaaaander we love you.


Let us know what the Toon Army think wontcha!

I just wanted to bump this thread to let you all know that I have indeed re-written my song We Love Countdown for Series 60. If you want to read or sing it, please scroll up to the very first post at the top of the page.

Enjoy, everyone!

Why Alexander?

[Jason Larsen]

I edited my post, Kai. Now, the song refers to Jeff Stelling.

Charlie can delete the posts about Alexander Armstrong.
