BBC: Sir Cliff fails to top UK charts
Sir Cliff Richard has failed to top the UK Top 40 single charts with Thank You For a Lifetime, which debuted at number three instead.
Had it reached the top spot, it would have given the 67-year-old a number one single across six consecutive decades.
The real hoot is that the rather prim Sir Cliff was pipped to the post by a tracks called Sex On Fire (by The Kings of Leon—great band) and I Kissed a Girl by a young lady who is presumably on the bus to Hebden Bridge.
If Sir Cliff really is that desperate for a Twenty-First Century number one, he could do far worse that re-release his all-time classic, Devil Woman.
The reason he didn't run with a re-release of "Devil Woman" is that he is unaware of the song's popularity -- nobody ever shouts out "Devil Woman" at his concerts.
go on, do a video for him, in case he changes his mind.
Hi Richard,
Your talk of the Devil Woman video reminded me of this link I had seen recently.
Not sure if it's the way Cliff ought to go?!

Oh, I can't wait....Napalm Deathsing Barry Manilow!
I understand he thinks women are the devil.
Not getting another no 1, you'd have to have a heart of stone not to piss yourself.
