Not sure who this Justin is despite hearing of him lately in the press confused. Assume he is a 'celeb'?

Crikey. Just checked out the song as I'd never heard it before. Stopped listening after the first refrain. No wonder this was such a successful and innovative fund raiser. grin

Not cool if you are a high school student - think teenybopper fodder
I was once in a shop in Wolverhampton where they were playing a schmaltzy american number called "its baby's first christmas" . I would have given them a fiver to stop.
