A second song for a friend
A Christmas tradition between two friends that started with a borrowed board game.
Christmas at Number Eight
A Christmas song between two best friends
Their first Christmas together was oven fries, paper chains and a borrowed board game played with coat buttons. Years later, long after their house numbers changed, the two friends still make a date for Number Eight.
The detail it is built on: A board game played with coat buttons.

Original Songilingy example songs, not customer songs. A sound you choose guides the music; your song uses your own story and lyrics.
What to put in yours
- One inside joke
- Add a sentence explaining it so it can be written well. Leave out anything they would not want sung in front of other people.
- One time they showed up
- A move, a breakup, a hospital waiting room. One sincere detail stops the song from being only a joke.
- Where the friendship goes next
- The next trip, the next birthday, the standing date. Ending on something ahead keeps it from sounding like a goodbye.
Disco pop and Motown-style Christmas pop here. A best-friend song can be loud, so choose what you would dance to together.

What should I include in a song for my best friend?
One inside joke (with a sentence explaining it), one time they showed up for you, and something you are looking forward to together.
Can a best friend song be both funny and emotional?
Yes. Give one joke and one sincere detail, and say in your notes which should lead. Read the lyrics before the music is made and remove anything they would not want heard.
When should I give a song to my best friend?
Birthdays are the obvious moment, but a song also suits a wedding, a move, a hard week or a friendship anniversary. One example on this page is a Christmas song.
