Full Song:
The version we sent out with the Christmas card. It’s the next best thing to having Bono force-gift it to all your devices.
Karaoke Version:
Instrumental. So you can sing along - or so you don’t have to hear us sing.
Acapella:
To guide the process, our own Mark Steele had to lay down all the vocals, percussion, and instrumentation acapella. It is flat, sharp, and off-tempo all at the same time. He never intended for you to hear this. It’s a hot Christmas mess.
CHRISTMAS @ STEELEHOUSE (#blessed)
Music & Lyrics by Mark Steele
It’s coming on Christmas
But we’re still hanging round the office
Just burning the midnight clear
It’s good for togetherness and great for profits.
We all need a little downtime -
A PARTY- a rest
I got my sisters and my Steelehouse brothers - I’m feeling hashtag blessed!
But it don’t feel the same
On any other holiday
It’s a Steelehouse Christmas
Oh how it makes you tingle - that’s the Steelehouse way we work it out.
This song - it ain’t no single - but the chorus is still gonna do us proud
Just-a wishing every client, every partner, staff, and spouse alike -
It’s Christmas at Steelehouse tonight!
Stop - wait a minute.
This eggnog’s got some funky juice in it.
It’s making me say things I never would say
Normally my ego would be getting in the way
Like Chad - I wish I had your hair
And Jeffrey Huston - I swear
You suddenly seem much taller (I swear
A lot taller (Hell yeah) Much taller!
With the exception of the group hug -
This party is getting epic
A truly legendary gift exchange
A pony for Rosie and a ferret for Eric
I suppose it’s time to wind this blowout down
Because Lori’s gone crazy
Singing Skyfall on karaoke
Dressed up like Snow Globe Lady
But it don’t feel the same
On any other holiday
It’s a Steelehouse Christmas
Oh how it makes you tingle - that’s the Steelehouse way we work it out.
This song - it ain’t no single - but the chorus is still gonna do us proud
Just-a wishing every client, every partner, staff, and spouse alike -
It’s Christmas at Steelehouse tonight!
The festivities abruptly halt as a wormhole opens - spitting out Santa Claus and scattering debris that impales an intern. Entreating us to help him save Christmas, St. Nicholas inadvertently catapults the Steelehouse staff into a time vortex, stranding us in the year 1358 at the Siberian palace of Baron Heimlich Von Schuffenhausen who, incidentally, has no need for animation or production services. A real bummer for the party - but a business boon - for in the 14th Century, Steelehouse is a reeeeeeally forward-thinking brand.
And when your audience finds you
And when your children mind you
And when our genius blinds your eyes
It’s Christmas at Steelehouse tonight
Oh how it makes you tingle - that’s the Steelehouse way we work it out.
This song - it ain’t no single - but the chorus is still gonna do us proud
Just-a wishing every client, every partner, staff, and spouse alike -
It’s Christmas at Steelehouse tonight!
