"Mr Blobby" is a novelty song performed by character Mr Blobby, famous for appearing in the British Saturday night variety show Noel's House Party. It was written by Philip Raxster, produced by Paul Shaw and David Rogers, and was released on 22 November 1993. 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. Despite its chart success, it has been panned by critics, some of whom have called it one of the worst songs ever recorded. Rodgers and Shaw received an award at the Ivor Novello Awards 1994 for UK best-selling song in 1993 with "Mr Blobby".
