Aiming to hit the number one slot for a fourth consecutive year, Ladbaby have been joined by Sir Elton John and Ed Sheeran on this year's festive offering - 'Sausage Rolls For Everyone'. If Ladbaby achieve their aim and secure the number one single in the UK they will be the first act in history to have bagged four festive number one's in a row.
'Sausage Rolls For Everyone' is a re-worked version of Ed Sheeran and Elton John's new Christmas song, 'Merry Christmas'; a track only recently recorded and released on December 3rd. Having already secured a number one with their own collaborative single, Ed and Elton were more than happy to lend a helping hand to Ladbaby in their efforts to make history, and raise much needed funds for well deserving charities.
Elton John and Ed Sheeran's original track raised money equally for Ed's 'Suffolk Music Foundation' and Elton's 'AIDS Foundation' with money being raised through publishing royalties and sales. The new tongue-in-cheek version with Ladybaby, Ed and Elton will raise money for 'The Trussell Trust', a charity that "supports over 1,200 food banks in the UK...working to stop UK hunger and poverty".
'Sausage Rolls For Everyone', released on the 17th December, is aiming to follow in the footsteps of Ladbaby's previous successes - 2018's, 'We Built This City On Sausage Rolls', 2019's - 'I Love Sausage Rolls' and 2020's - 'Don't Stop Me Eatin'.
In the star studded video released for 'Merry Christmas' there were appearances from Mr Blobby, Jonathan Ross, Big Narstie, Michael McIntyre and The Darkness. Well known scenes from Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’, Shakin’ Stevens’ ‘Merry Christmas’, The Snowman’s ‘Walking in the Air’ and East 17’s ‘Stay Another Day’ were lovingly recreated.
In the Ladbaby video for the latest incarnation of the song, both Sir Elton John and Ed Sheeran are dressed as sausage rolls as they are bundled out of the back of a van, past the unwitting paparazzi, and into the studio. As they record the new version Elton even looks like he might actually be enjoying is savoury treat!
