You know, I wanted to write a comedy record. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.839 That's just like originally, what happened is my friend said 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.240 you should do a Christmas album called like twelve Days 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.640 of Christmas Sweaters and do cover songs of. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:40.600 All these songs. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.760 They go, Okay, that's just sounds like a good idea, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.600 and then when I started recording and it was fine, 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.079 I wasn't that great. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.439 To be honest, I wasn't. You weren't feeling It. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.160 Was like, you know, I'm not anything better than what 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.360 Michael Buble is doing or Kelly Clarkson or you know, 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:58.840 so why am I even doing? 0:13:58.880 --> 0:13:59.880 This? Is not my wheel? 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.160 So like, I don't think this is right, And so 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.679 I said, well, I have an I did for a 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.319 comedy song. Then they go, yeah, we can record that. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.600 So I recorded that and then okay, the Dolly Pardon 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.440 song you did? Is it too early for Christmas yet? 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:13.760 You know? 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:15.719 Brilliant? 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.400 Because every year people are like, Delilah, when need you 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.520 going to start playing Christmas music? I'm like, it's fourth 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.359 of July people, I was watching fireworks. Would you stop? 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.120 I mean, it's too early. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.280 And you do a song with Dolly who is like, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.720 you know, hard candy Christmas, and. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:39.280 Dolly Parton was unb believable. She's unbelievable to me. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:45.120 She's perfectly perfect, and she's gorgeous and she's charming, and 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.040 she's not I actually went to Dollywood. 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:48.520 Have you done that yet? 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.880 I have not done that yet, but Dollie, I've I've 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.320 had her on a couple of podcasts and on my show, 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.160 and she's just like so darling. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.640 And she just makes you feel good and you go, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.040 oh my gosh. And so I pictured this song. I go, 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.800 will you do this song? It's almost too early for Christmas? 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.240 And it's basically like a joke on when it is 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.880 too early, like and we release it and like Halloween 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.120 or something. She's like, that's great, would you do a 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.880 song on my Christmas album? And I can't eve believe 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.880 I'm talking to Dolly Parton, So I go, of course, 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.960 she goes, let's do All I Want for Christmas? And 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.440 I go great, So I'm immediately going to Novelty Records. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.680 This is what I grew up with. So I go, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:26.880 I think she wants me to. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.400 Do, like All I Want for Christmas is my too 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.480 front tea. 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:36.000 So I can with you maw christmath correct exactly. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:37.840 So I go, I love to do it. So she 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.440 gets me the thing and it's it's the Mariah Carey 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.320 song All I Want for Christmas is you. I go, oh, Dolly, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.120 I think you got the wrong person. I don't even 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:47.960 know if I could hit these notes. I mean, you're 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.320 gonna have to autotune this one. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.440 Did she have to autotune it? Or did you hit them? 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.200 She'd no, she saved me. But she did the high 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.440 notes and I did the low notes and we harmonized. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.840 But we did do the Mariah song and I broke 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.520 a vein, a blood vessel hopped out of my head 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.080 like I was a wrestler because I was trying to 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:06.640 hit these notes. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:11.440 I was going like she was so bad. I was like, oh, 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:12.680 she's going to cancel this, But. 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.040 She made it work because she's Dolly, because. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.400 She's Dolly Parton. But we have So we have Dolly Parton, 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.800 we have Ariana Grande, we have I do a song 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.680 with Carl Delvine called Hallmark Movie. And the idea is 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.320 that I think we're in a Hallmark movie. I own 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.680 a hardware store and she's a princess and she has 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.240 to save my business, and I. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.040 Go, oh my gosh, we're in a Hallmark movie. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.320 And then she reaches for a knife, and I go, 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.080 oh my gosh, we're actually in a Lifetime movie. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:46.080 So that's that's that song. So I mean, they're all 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.480 they're all comedy songs. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.240 I wrote a I was trying to think of a 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.160 funny New Year's Eve song because everything's so sad on 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:53.760 New Year's Eve. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:59.960 All ding zignld Yeah.

It's like, what's 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.639 the party song? So I go, what's the genre that 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.600 just makes you just have to smile? And I think 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.199 it's polka. There's no sad polka. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.280 So you want to hear a crazy polka story. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:17.400 Yeah. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.240 When I started my radio career, I was in junior 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.840 high and high school. One of the features in my 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:31.119 little town was the Scandinavian Hour on weekend mornings. I 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.120 love these shows.
