Speaker 1 (00:00):
Listen, you'll know our next guest as being an Australian icon.
You may also be able to get her at your

perform live. You might even get a brand new Christmas song,
Christmas Kiss. The one and Only Samantha Jay joins us. Now,
how about Sammy?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Thanks guys. I always love chatting to you. How are we?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We are good? How okay?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I want to know you've just written a Christmas song,
Christmas Kiss?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
How is that different to writing and you know, a.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Relationship song or a love song, and then you've got
a Christmas Carol?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
It is? A different It's a different feeling altogether because
you can kind of go all the way cheese and
all the way like pitch and like you can form it.
There's nothing you can just do it, and it's like
people actually love it. The one time of the year
everyone's like, I'm okay with the cheese, and so I
kind of was writing the lyrics and I was like,
this is I can this is not it's too cheesy,
(00:58):
and my friend was like, it's Christmas. I guess that's
how it's really fun and you can put all of
the melodies that you want to do that, you know,
because when you're writing a song sometimes you're in the
room you're like, oh, that melody is too like everyone
will sink will go there, so we shouldn't. But Christmas
is the time to do those melodies and all the
backgrounds and yeah, it's just it was really, really fun.
(01:18):
I got to say, this is the most fun I've
had writing a song in a while.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Samantha, do you think not to put you on the spot,
but do you think you could give us.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Like a little taste.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Would you sing a little acoustic for us right now?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Or is that asking too much?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, I can do that. I'll give you a bit
of the verse because the verse is really cute. So
the kind of Christmas night a gun must.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Bread from mead a case.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh yeah, I can hear my Auntie's drunk on eggros
Blearingristmas Day.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Honestly, it just takes you to like you're sitting around dessert,
everyone's singing.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And exactly what you just said, you can't get to
corny on Christmas actually, But also like this is what
we need. We need new Christmas songs because no one
wants to ride to carry it's done.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah, I want transparency, Sammy.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Do you read the articles where everyone goes Maria Caerry
makes two million dollars a day at Christmas?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Is that why you're releasing a Christmas song for the royalties? Listen?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I will say it is the gift that keeps on
giving because every year you can just be like we're
putting it out.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Again, all that bad boy out. You just see the
royalties roll back in.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
So, Sam, what's happening. What's happening with the competition?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're giving people the chance to perform at the school
to hear the song live.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Basically we're going to come and perform at the school exactly. Yeah,
So we'll come and we'll do Christmas Kiss, and we'll
do a few other songs, a few more carols and yeah.
I mean there's nothing better I think than live music.
There's there's a feeling that you just you can't get
through the phone or through anything. It's in person. It's
so much better. So we're like, we've got to go
to the schools and perform for them.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
So far, well, we're giving you the chance.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
If you want to submit your school the pickup dot
com dot au answer in twenty five words or less.
Why you want some anthe jay there and we'll give you.
We'll take Sam to you and you're so tiny, we'll
just put.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Her in a little put it in a suitcase. This
is so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Also, speaking of kids, okay, I have a four year
old a two year old, and we were talking about
it last week.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
This is this is my time. Okay. I think my
kids are gifted.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I think that they are going to be the next
singers the big Australian export sessially my four year old.
Sure potential, they have potential. I need you, I need
you to weigh in. I've got some recordings of their
little singing lawless too. Molly's for like, let's be kind
to them, you know, let's not dash their dreams before
it started.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And that'd be kind to me.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Sam did win the X Factor, so Sam is perfect
for to judge this, to judge that.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I know.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm so glad that you're here. Okay, this is Molly.
Speaker 3 (03:45):

Speaker 5 (03:52):
I well.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Us, yeah, that's so bad.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
What do your thought?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Four?
Speaker 2 (04:12):

Speaker 1 (04:15):

Okay, here's the two year old.
Speaker 5 (04:29):

Speaker 3 (04:34):
I mean, I'm going to say this, that lettle girl,
that was that was, that was in the right key,
So that was good.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Year old's better. Actually she's better than Marley.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I do too.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Let's not tell Marley that wrange.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But we're not going to say that to Maley. No, listen, like,
not many people can properly sing into their a little
older so you don't really know. I mean I started
when I was seven. That's when my mum was like, oh,
I feel like this is different than the other kids,
so I think they can keep practicing.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
No, what I'm getting from this is that most children
don't know on there till the seven, but mine do.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They're quite good.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Yeah, sure, that's interesting that that's not what I heard
or what brit heard. No, let's roll on the sliders,
