Mr Blobby (song) Mr Blobby (song) "Mr Blobby" is a novelty song performed by character Mr Blobby, famous for appearing in the TV programme "Noel's House Party". The song originally peaked at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart on 11 December 1993 for one week but reclaimed the top spot to become the Christmas number one single, and spent a total of three weeks at No. 1. It was written by Philip Raxster, produced by Paul Shaw and David Rogers and was released on 22 November 1993. Despite its chart success, it has been often named as one of the worst songs
Mr Blobby the previous month had reported that Blobby reduced a young girl to tears after throwing her birthday cake onto the floor during a show in Luton, causing the girl's father to mount the stage and assault Blobby. Neville Crumpton, who owns the rights to the character, said: "If the press can knock him, they'll knock him whenever they can." A trio of failed Mr Blobby theme parks also resulted in considerable negative press and scandal. Addressing the character's popularity, former longtime BBC employee Michael Parkinson in 2007 confessed that he "really didn't get it", and found Blobby "far from amusing".
