A bunch of Atlas Physicists working on the Large Hadron Collider have come up with a pop song which they hope will beat the X Factor to the number one spot at Christmas.

Last year's X Factor champion Joe Mcelddery was pipped at the post by Rage Against The Machine and the Atlas band are hoping that it will be able to do the same with whoever wins (obviously Wagner).

According to the band, they have actually "created a double album of original material and covers, crossing all styles of music from rock to classical, that looks set to prove a big hit with both the scientific community and the wider public."

The song going to be released is called 'Resonance'.

Music making

Now, don't get us wrong, the song isn't bad and the scientists on it are pretty accomplished musicians, but a little bit of research (a quick Google search) shows that there is already a better track about the LHC out there.

Called the 'Large Hadron Rap', it is a wholly more enjoyable record with the immortal line: "The LHC accelerates the protons and the lead, and the things that it discovers will rock you in the head".

Genius.

Resonance has a UK release date of 6 December which is apparently 13.7 billion years to the day, since the Big Bang.

Proceeds from the sales of Resonance will go to the 'Happy Children's Home' in Pokhara, Nepal to help them build an orphanage.

So long as it isn't £X-Factor, I don't really care who's number one - Mr Blobby FTMFW!

Anything as long as it is not an X factor song.

Is Prof Cox playing keyboards on it?

Hopefully if the X Factor fails to win the Christmas No. 1 spot again (and I will be doing my part to ensure this), it will mark the beginning of the end for this shoddy excuse for a television programme.

I was surprised by the success of Rage Against The Machine, given just how many people I still hear banging on about the x factor.

Personally, I hate the programme, but I don't like RATM either; and I won't pay for rubbish just to deny some other rubbish the xmas no.1.

Back on topic...

I sincerely doubt the CERN record will be met with any success, unless there is already another viral anti-x factor ploy under way. In which case, the success will be completely manufactured; just as the x factor is, and the RATM success was.

Another reason to ignore, but reserve the right to bitch about it.

+1, if nothing else, some of the contestants need to be saved from themselves

And years of therapy.
