It is now time for day 8 Mayhem’s 12 Days Of Christmas posts. So Christmas is now well and truly on the way, Maria is fully defrosted and Noddy has said “IT’S CHRIIIIISTMAAAS”! By now I hope you know that this year, once again, the theme is the classic cumulative song “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”. What gift was presented on the eighth day of Christmas? It was of course Eight Maids A-milking. The link to todays tune is as expected very tenuous.
The song is “Milkshake” by Kelis, well the song does talk about a milk based product right? Plus in olden days Kelis might have been seen as a maiden. Equally I could have chosen something by Iron Maiden or perhaps Be Bop Deluxe’s “Maid In Heaven”, maybe next time? “Milkshake” was a huge success for Kelis back in 2003. It hit number one in Ireland, number two in the UK and top five in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden. The song was written by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo a.k.a the Neptunes. Kelis has said that the song is about “something that makes women special”. What do you think it’s about?
There will be a playlist of all twelve songs when we get to the final one? In fact that playlist is under the streaming Christmas tree already. I will unwrap it soon for you! What do you think tomorrows song will be?
