It's the thread "Have Yourself A Horrible Awful Christmas" :P

Hilarious!! Let me help a bit: Opposite of "have", as used here, is like "Do", would be "Don't". Enough said.@Coldplayisawesome already guessed the song, their turn if they guess the threads, the author tie and the chart positions. If annyone else gets all three of those things, then I think they might steal the win!

I guess this (real) one would count:

 

My day sucked but how was urs?

Well, I have found the author and Chart positions. (Never heard of that one either).

But that was easy doing some reverse lookup. [emoji4]

That thread though... still is a mystery.

@Nie guessed Don't Let it Break Your Heart before, although now i'm not sure if she meant the thread or the song! :P but based on the last clue, that's my guess for the thread that is "opposite"

 

and i knew Coldplay had done a cover of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas so i looked it up and it was co-written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane (although apparently there's controversy about that)... the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page also says "In 2007, ASCAP ranked "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" the third most performed Christmas song, during the preceding five years, that had been written by ASCAP members. In 2004 it finished at #76 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs rankings of the top tunes in American cinema." so there's the chart positions :P

That's a riddle on it's own. [emoji39][emoji1]

They (Chris) have actually covered it minimum three times in their career :)

And it is on the Mince Spies ep.

 

(And that's why I grant it as a Coldplay song)

covers are interesting. i was thinking of the recorded version on Mince Spies EP, so any other performance in my brain is just a live performance of that cover... no matter when they were performed :lol:

You're right, but the way of piano playing and singing does differ significantly between the three...now don't kill me, but ahem, you might have a chance to find out for yourself very soon (wink, wink :P)

@coldplayisawesome: You nailed all three clues!! Don't Let it Break Your Heart is the near opposite thread I had in mind. The chart positions and Hugh Martin as co-author are exactly right. The other related thread, of course, would be Secret Santa 2016, as it is dealing with Christmas. Nicely done! Take it away....

haha, i had a feeling your knowledge came from perhaps compiling songs for a certain reason ;) :laugh3:

here is your clue:

did you just get your inspiration from the livestream ? :D

did you just get your inspiration from the livestream ? :D

 

it's possible that seeing the Xylobands inspired me :lol:

First two guesses:

 

AROBTTH ?

Sparks ?

it is AROBTTH, yes :D

Oh wow, I wouldn't have expected the first guess to be coorect !

 

I already have a new riddle :imp:

New riddle:

 

1. Yellow 2. Green Eyes 3. ...?

White Shadows, teeheehee

White Shadows, teeheehee

no. This is not a colour code :)

Umm, any guesses ?

 

Here's a hint. Yellow and Green Eyes both have a special property that sets them apart from other songs. Find the next one in line with that property.

 

Also where are you, Nee, seems like we nied you ! :P

This thread was burried under a lot of others. And the app on my phone is only showing a number of recent threads.

*I'm only looking for excuses* [emoji39]

Hmmm, is this a hidden hint?

Yes?

I thought about A Spell A Rebel Yell, if it is related to the letters I think there are two answers :p
