    No way?!

    Apart from you being on it, the going home song annoys the hell out of me and my office. 4.15 is NOT hometime ?

    Happy birthday for tomorrow!

    I absolutely LOVE the going home song as I'm usually driving home when it's on but I work 10-6 on a Tuesday. Bah! Do they put it on the podcast?? I'm surprised how many people are out of tune though! Please tell me that you're not tone deaf?

    Most likely!!

    You have to sing it with no music, so it’s really hard!! Plus I was so giddy that they had actually called me I think I just squealed most of it out! ?

    Makes sense now why most people sound so out of tune! I still love it though, especially when they have kids on :-)

    Yep! They get you to do 2 or 3 takes of each, some a bit faster, some a bit slower, then they add the music after. It was a lad called Tom. He called me, asked me a few questions, said he’d ring me back in 10 mins to record it and he did! He sung to me what he wanted me to say, then I had to sing it back to him! The last 2 lines I only had to do 1 take of each, he kept saying I was perfect! Ha ha.

    They made me say I was from Birmingham, which isn’t strictly true, but never mind!!

    I’m so excited!!

    Ali G, almost word for word!! I think it was 'My name is OB, it's my birthday today'.

    I also made a weird sound at the end of my hoooooooome which I hope they leave out!
