We Love Countdown, Series 60 Style
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!

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:
http://apterous.org/podcast31.mp3
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.

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