As you know, we have our annual party today (Woooooop) and we can’t wait to see you there!!
What you probably all know is, we have invited the team from Music Video Booths to film everyone in their booth enjoying the day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to ‘Merry Christmas Everybody’ by Slade.
Here is the song we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with …
How this works is, the booth will be set up along with props. You go in and the music plays, a little like a karaoke machine. You will then be recorded and stored until the guys get it back and turn it in to a music video.
You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.
The lyrics are included at the bottom of the page
How up for it are you?
Mad for it!
OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?
Here’s what you can do:
- Watch the video
- Learn the lyrics
- Practice in front of the mirror
- Choreograph a dance routine
- Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group
We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.
Happy to get involved on the day
Here’s what we recommend:
- Watch the video
- Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
- Get in the booth and go for it!
A little bit camera-shy
We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
- On the day, see if you’re in the right mood. If not, just let the MWV guys know if you’d prefer to just be an ‘extra’ without performing, or if you don’t want to be in the video at all.
We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live our big day for years to come and hope you’ll all get involved in some way.
So……..
- Glamorous people – Check
- Beautiful Location – Check
- Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in
Let’s make this a video to remember!
Love
Michelle

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It’s the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?
Does a ton-up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begunAre you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya
That the old songs are the best?
Then she’s up and rock and rollin’ with the restSo here it is Merry Xmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begunWhat will your daddy do
When he sees your mama kissin’ Santa Claus?
Ah-ha
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head, then you been slayedSo here it is Merry Xmas
Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now
It’s only just begunSo here it is Merry Xmas
Everybody’s having fun
