Take The Macaroni Out - Ryan Tedder and Jess Glynne create a masterpiece out of your texts

24 May 2016

Jess Glynne and Ryan Tedder sing your texts

An improvised song with your texts as lyrics? This could go either way to be honest...

Jess and Ryan brought their songwriting skills to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show

Grimmy set them a live songwriting challenge ...with you as collaborators

Ryan Tedder and Jess Glynne have written a bafflingly huge array of our favourite hits. So it was only natural to ask them to collaborate when they came in to co-host the Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw.

Just writing a brilliant songs seems to be ridiculously easy for these two, though. What about writing a song in collaboration with the entire United Kingdom?

We asked you to send in boring texts about what you were up to to provide the lyrics - and you delivered.

It's an unlikely combination but yesterday's co-host Craig David was into it:

If you want to sing along, here's the full lyrics sheet to 'Take The Macaroni Out' by Ryan Tedder and Jess Glynne, ft. Radio 1 Listeners

I’m putting the papers in the letterbox by Joe
And I’m out here digging a hole
Laying new water pipe or at least that’s my goal
And I’m taking the cats to the vet
Because Tuesday is ‘put bins out’ day

Cus if I don’t them noodles gonna go so bad, noodles gonna go so bad

I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out

Of the freezer, of the freezer
Before them noodles go bad

And I’m now gonna deliver some dry ice
Because Brian in Plymouth is currently cleaning up his dog’s sick (I said his dog’s sick)
And Joe from Nottingham is gonna meet his mother in law (gonna meet his mother in law)

(Hey)

I’m taking my parents to the airport
After I’ve dribbled my toothpaste on my shirt

I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out

Cus if I don’t them noodles gonna go so bad (noodles gonna go so bad)

I need to take the macaroni out
I need to take the macaroni out

Before them noodles go bad
In the freezer

So I’m gonna take the macaroni out

Looks like Ryan and Jess have another hit on their hands!
