Musician Noddy Holder, who currently lives in Cheshire, wakes his wife on the 25th of December every year by announcing, “IT’S CHRIIIISTMAAAAAS!!!” at the top of his voice. Unfortunately, police receive an annual complaint about the noise – from a man in Derbyshire.
The complainant, a Mr Roy Wood told us, “It’s bad enough having to listen to Slade’s cheesy Christmas song everywhere I go all through December each year, but being woken up by Noddy Holder shouting every Christmas morning is too much to bear! I live about 60 miles away from him, so that gives you some idea of how loud it is!”
With a sigh, Mr Wood continued, “I had a Christmas hit myself once you know, but I don’t go around shouting about it. My song should have made it to number 1, but sadly it was beaten to the top spot by some novelty record. Oh, was it Slade? I really don’t remember. It’s not like I’m not bitter about it, or anything. Anyway, as for Noddy and his shouting, well I’m just glad it isn’t Christmas every day!”
Noddy Holder is reported to receive over £500,000 in royalties from his 1970s Christmas hit each year. We tried to speak to him about Mr Wood’s complaint of excessive noise, but he was unavailable for comment, as he was busy laughing all the way to the bank.
