    What does everyone on here think is the most essential Cliffy Song. Secretly we all know we like him so come on own up.

    I think he should release a song about a specific type of tree this Christmas.

    He's rumoured to have great personal interest in Yews :bandit:

    Summer holiday. Upbeat little number which brings back memories of days of yore.

    It simply has to be "Some People" - although not penned by Sir Cliff himself, it's a classic tune that is still heavily covered today.

    Cliff Richard is playing to a venue of 5000 people in Japan, he says "And for my last song I'm gonna let you, the audience, decide which one of my hits I'm gonna sing to you". He holds the mic towards the crowd and the crowd start chanting back louder and louder "Tits And Fanny, Tits And Fanny, Tits And Fanny, Tits And Fanny". Cliff looks puzzled, "Tits and Fanny?, that's not one of my songs" he says. They continue to chant "Tits And Fanny, Tits And Fanny". Eager to please his audience Cliff says "Okay, you sing the first line and if I know it I'll carry on". Once again he points his mic towards the crowd and they all sing back to him "Tits and fanny haw ree don't talk errymore!"​

    Did you know that Biffy Clyro are named as such because one member had a Cliff Richard Biro or a Cliffy Biro (Byro)...

    I thought you'd go for Batchelor Boy.

    Summer Holiday is probably the best song ever released <ok>

    Yes.

    They made up about twenty stories about the name cos they were sick of people asking them.

    A mate of mine toured with them (knew them from early Kilmarnock days) and, apparently, the only question they ask reporters not to ask them is about the origin of their name.

    3am, a drunk ER phones his wife where he subjects her to five minutes of abuse before breaking down in tears and begging her to take him back.

    I was referring to the classic Sir Cliff song <ok>

    He truly is the greatest rock and roll star of all time.
