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…
Christmas Day is probably a terrible day to upload a video if you want anyone to see it, and Christmas Day afternoon even more so. But as this video what I have made for you is very much a Christmas Day thing, there’s not much option really. So here’s my Christmas Message:
Oh yes, I have a blog, don’t I? So I should probably take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and direct you to my new song on the subject of what should be this year’s Christmas number 1 (warning: contains a swear).
And, for balance, here’s Tim Minchin’s White Wine in the Sun, which, should you wish, you can buy from iTunes here.
Here’s a very short video I made on Saturday night. It’s an old joke, although it is one of mine: I wrote it a decade ago for a comedy show on my university’s radio station, Leeds Student Radio. I hesitate (no I don’t) to mention that said comedy show won that year’s Radio 1 Student Comedy Award for Best Spoken Word programme.
So now that I’ve lowered your expectations, here’s a joke that will only work if you’re the right age to have watched the Children’s ITV show Knightmare.
