Here are some characters that some of you thought should have made the cut:

What about the Oasis song 'Wonderwall' sung elegantly by the Mike Flowers Pops? It's a chimpanzee's tea party of a song and there would definitely be jelly and ice-cream.

Still trying to recover from the disappointment of finding that 'John Kettley (is a Weatherman)' by A Tribe of Toffs failed to make the top 10.

Wot? No 'Star Trekkin'?

You failed to include 'Stutter Rap' by Morris Minor and The Majors. This is in fact a novelty amongst novelty songs, in so much as it was still funny after the second listen. Unlike the Darkness...
