♪ If you cut a piece of guitar string ♪ ♪ I would wear it like it's a wedding ring ♪ - Hi guys, what's up? I'm Carly Rae Jepsen, here at home today. And we are gonna do this game with Elle called song association. Where apparently, I have 10 seconds I'm given a word and I have to come up with a song that has that word in it. (Carly clears throat) Let me get my singing voice ready for you guys. (upbeat music) My vocal warm up is more like a Disney princess, like I wanna sing: ♪ A whole new world ♪ ♪ Don't you dare close your eyes ♪ Tap. (clock ticking) ♪ Tap dancing ♪ Are you allowed to make up songs? - [Male] No. (Carly laughing) ♪ Tap tap tapping on heaven's door ♪ (alarm buzzes) - Not really a song. It's knocking, I'm sorry. I write songs for a living. (Carly laughs) Who would guess? Ready. (clock ticking) ♪ I'm not ready to make nice ♪ (alarm dings) The Dixie Chicks. I got one. Ten. ♪ Ten lords a leaping ♪ (alarm dings) ♪ Nine ladies dancing ♪ ♪ Seven swans a swimming ♪ ♪ Six geese a laying ♪ ♪ Five golden rings ♪ Oh (beep) I forgot eight. Rise.

I do know that is a song though. (clock ticks) (Carly humming) ♪ I'm am strange ♪ ♪ Lying naked on the floor ♪ (Carly hums) ♪ Into something real ♪ (Carly hums) ♪ And I can see the perfect sky is torn ♪ (alarm dings) (Carly laughs) Sorry. Ten seconds. I'd like to apologize now to Natalie Imbruglia for my version of "Torn". Around. (clock ticking) ♪ I get around round round ♪ ♪ I get around ♪ You know? Beach Boys. (Carly hums) Yeah.

Classic. Folk? (clock ticking) ♪ And folks ♪ (alarm dings) ♪ Dressed up like Eskimos ♪ Yeah. ♪ Everybody knows ♪ That there's "folk" in that song. I like that all my references are mostly Disney and Christmas. And musicals. It's fine. It's fine. (clock ticking) ♪ Turn around ♪ (alarm dings) ♪ Every now and then I get a little bit ♪ (Carly hums) ♪ Turn around ♪ ♪ Every now and then ♪ (Carly hums) Yeah, anyways. That was fun and thank you so much Elle for including me. I hope everyone watching from home figured out how to get answers for those songs faster than I did. Or were able to make up some of their own. I'm gonna get back to what I do, which is making new tunes for you guys. But in the meantime, I hope you are enjoying "Dedicated Side B". I made it with all of you very much in mind. (Carly smacks lips) Sending love.
