It's my great pleasure to introduce to you
@MichaelA 's and my collaborative entry for the Festive competition.
I had an early stage song called "Henry The Eighth" which mentioned Christmas and asked whether MichaelA could be interested in working together on it.
Now, I think I am quite amusing and have a quick way with a lyric, but working with Michael was a revelation. We went through a few iterations (Christmas repentant Romeo song, Christmas hedonistic Romeo song, Christmas drunk Romeo song, Christmas Romeo engagement song...) and ended up with the ultimate Christmas party anthem riotous karaoke drinking song.
A few tracking sessions later, Sozzled was born. Many thanks to co-parent, Michael, whose DNA has helped make this truly unique.
Hoping it's as fun to listen to as it was to make. Looking forward to your comments as always.
Sozzled (On Christmas Day)
V1
Come on take the bait
I'm not Henry the Eighth
Although I've mislaid several wives before
I liked collecting them
Christmas was fun back then
Now Santa says I can collect one more
Your reformed Romeo
Under the mistletoe
Let's sing a song, then maybe three or four
CH
Happy Christmas, War Is Over
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Merry Christmas Everybody
Sing Jingle Bells and Santa Baby
Proper Crimbo, Let It Snow
And All I Want for Christmas Is You
Cos that's the kind of slushy thing to say
Sozzled on Christmas Day
V2
It's karaoke time
As we knock back the wine
You sing Last Christmas, pop a champagne cork
But I won't break your heart
Say yes to a new start
Murdering Fairy Tale Of New York
Baby It's Cold Outside
Blue Christmas stay away
Cos maybe I could Stay Another Day
CH
M8
Fill your glass babe
Cos it's Christmas
Cheeky snowball
Sneaky fizz
Karaoke
Hokey Cokey
Okey dokey
Christmas kiss
