Hey y'all!
James turned up today, and we were able to create the first collaborative effort of the Song A Day project. And it was just wunderbar everybody. Just wunderbar. James's initial idea was an epic ballad about someone who went to a diner but was served a burger without ketchup, and as a result was forced into a journey of undetermined duration to buy a microwave and sauce.
After some discussion, we decided to write a simple call-and-response tune. We tried to record it live but it took about half an hour, because one of us couldn't stop giggling. So we recorded it in one take, then lipsynced and used our mad acting skillz instead.
The song is based on James's journey to my house, and all the trials which ensued. I think you'll agree that it is heart-breaking.
James, you got here late today / I thought that it was yesterday
Could you not find a place to park? / I had to park around the block
I thought we said we'd meet at noon / I txt to say I'd be there soon
I've got a busy schedule / Just cancel like you said you will...
But now you're finally here, my fears just disappeared Let's give up three big cheers:
Woo hoo hoo!
You didn't meet me at the door / This house has got like twenty floors
Well even so, you took a while / You know that rushing's not my style
Let's get to work, just you and me / Hang on a sec, I need to wee........
You took a while on the bog.......... Shut up James, let's rock this blog!
Cos now you're finally here, my fears all disappeared, Let's give up three big cheers:
Woo hoo hoo! Woo hoo hoo!
Etc....
Outtakes to follow....
