What did I get you for Christmas this year, the internet? I got you a YouTube Advent Calendar:
In retrospect, committing to a song a day was a bit dumb when I didn’t have any already written (ah, preparation) but finally it’s complete. 24 songs written and recorded. Pick a door and watch a video. Many of them are funny. Most of them are intended to be.
In my opinion, the best ditties are on days 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 18, 20 and 22. And if you’d like the chose by title, rather than by an arbitrarily-assigned number, there’s a playlist on YouTube.
Despite the surprisingly exhausting level of effort required, I’m glad I did it. But I’m even more glad it’s over…
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thanks for writing and recording all these songs. My favourites were the Haircut song and (groan) Pirate School. I found your blog a year or so ago through your amazing Derren Brown song, which is one of the few things that I only have to think about to make me laugh out loud. Best wishes, keep up the good work.
