When my daughter 1. …….., he started ringing me more and more because he’s a dad and he wants to 2. ….. up on me.
He rang me on Christmas day and he said “We 3. ……. a Christmas song together” and I remember being like, “maybe like 2022.”
“In like 2022/2023 I’ve got my album coming out this Christmas. I 4. …… to have a Christmas song come out.”
But anyway, that day I 5. …… the chorus for it. And I was like “If and when the day 6. ….. , I will use this chorus.”
And then I had a really close friend of mine pass away in March and Elton 7. …… ringing me every day. And part of me thought, “Why am I 8……. this off? Tomorrow is not promised.” And if anything ever 9. …… to me or Elton or anyone. Why am I not just like taking this opportunity and running with it? So as soon as I 10. …….. back from my friend’s memorial, I went to go and stay with Elton and we 11. ……… three Christmas songs. One of which is the main Christmas thing, one of which is a B-side, called “Pull My Christmas Cracker, You’ll Get More Than a Bang”. I 12. …… mixes to Elton and he would ring me up and go: “more fucking sleigh bells!” And I would just 13. ……. put more sleigh bells in it.
So, we finished it and I was like, we probably have to change the title because there 14. …… millions of songs called ‘Merry Christmas’. So I went on the top 100 Spotify Christmas songs not a single one called ‘Merry Christmas’. I went on Youtube, 15. ….. in ‘Merry Christmas’. It’s all ‘Happy Xmas’, ‘Merry Xmas’, ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’. There’s no song called ‘Merry Christmas’. It baffled me! Anyway, I 16. …… sing a bit of the chorus, I don’t want to piss off Elton because I already kind of dropped the ball with announcing it too early.
Well, I’ll sing like two excerpts of it because I think all good Christmas songs 17. …… a bit at the end that everyone 18. ….. as well.
