Mr Blobby: Mr Blobby
Before becoming TV's rudest high trouser wearer, Simon Cowell was a successful A&R man whose specialty was unearthing novelty hits – Robson & Jerome, Teletubbies and Mr Blobby from the Noel Edmonds TV show were all his evil ideas.
Controversy and suggestions of chart rigging still surround Blobby's brainless torture of mankind as the song bobbled to the top of the charts, then slid down the top ten before arriving magically back on top for Christmas Day. The shame will haunt Britain and Cowell forever.
