Ode To Deodorant

From WikiColdplay

"Ode To Deodorant" was the first song performed by Coldplay and released as an ensemble single. It was recorded and released in 1998 as a double A-side demo cassette tape for local concert promoters by Phil Harvey, the band's original manager. The second A-side, "Brothers & Sisters" went on to become one of Coldplay's early staples.

In an August 2003 article from Interview magazine [1], Coldplay drummer Will Champion commented that it, "had a good ending and a good bass line, but it was a crappy song." When asked whether the song is cringe-worthy, lead singer Chris Martin joked that he doesn't listen to it. [2]

In late 2005 a cassette tape of the song was sold on eBay. A fan bought the tape and "leaked" it onto the internet on 13 January 2006.

Lyrics

Here's an Ode, ah, to deodorant
It's my thing, ah it's my favourite hygiene
It keeps me through the day

Another ode, ah to deodorant
It's my thing, ah it's my favourite hygiene
It's the confidence I need

It's medicine for the soul
It's medicine for the mind
It picks me up and makes me whole
It makes me feel alright

Here's an Ode, an ode to aerosol
It's my thing
Ah, it's my favourite hygiene, it's the confidence I need

It's medicine for the soul
It's medicine for the mind
It picks me up and makes me whole
It makes me feel alright

It's okay Oh, would I ever let you down? No way
Oh, would I ever let you down, okay?
Oh, would I ever let you down, no way
Oh, would I ever let you down...

I'll never let ya, I'll never let ya, I'll never let you down, no way

Would I ever let you let you down, no way
Would I ever let you let you down, no way
Would I ever let you let you down, no way
Would I ever let you let you down, no way
