You know when you’re at a bar and you won’t leave until you’ve had one more drink? Well, so does Charlie Sloth. I talk to him about the new single, keeping fresh, and of course, bearing in mind Mr Sloth’s rude reputation, I see if I can throw him with a rude question…by Kieran Yates
Hey Charlie, how’s the workload?
Hey, yeh it’s cool, I’m really busy all the time at the moment! The show is a big part of the ‘Charlie Sloth’ brand, but I’m concentrating on the music for a while, trying to find a balance, but I think the show might be suffering this week, you know I haven’t been to sleep yet…
Well, when you got a couple million views a week, I guess you’re still doing alright…
Ha, thanks!
So tell me about the single; it’s called, ‘One More Drink’ right?
Yeh, it’s my first proper release, I’m coming hard, last year I just did a lot of content online, and now I feel like I need to go in on the music.
Yeh, I like how you’ve still retained a bit of yourself in the songs…you know, the music thing but still with a sprinkling of c**k talk…
Yep!
Hahaha sorry, you’re usually so rude so I’m going to try and throw you when you’re not expecting it.
Hahahahaha ok. Yeh, a lot of people know me from the show, I definitely try to incorporate the feel of the show, in the music.
So the song is about you getting into a bit of a bar brawl, have u been in one before?
Yeh, it’s a real life story, it’s about first night me and this girl went out together, I took her to the pub in West London, and some madness went down…
So if you take out a lady that’s how it goes down…
No! I was inexperienced back then; alcohol got the better of me…
So how does a date with Charlie go down these days?
Oh these days…Well if the ladies lucky enough, then boy! I’m not even sure to be honest, it’s been so long! I’m out of action!
Hmmm. Well, these days you can just cut out the middle man and forward her your website…you don’t even need to go out for a drink. Boxfresh can help you out…
Yeh! It’s funny because when you’re on a hype you’re trying to find a girl, it never happens. Then when you’re in a mindset when you’re not trying to get a girl, you pull anyway, it’s crazy.
So is the song a way of apologising for you?
It’s more, clearing a guilty conscience, you know, ‘Sorry, I didn’t really mean it’ (laughs).
So maybe Tiger Woods should do a Charlie and sing a song to his missus?
Yeh I think if Tiger Woods did that, he wouldn’t be getting bust up!
You usually do quite rude songs that I don’t want my Mum to hear. What’s the most recent rude song you’ve heard that you’re jamming to?
Erm, recently, I haven’t heard that much, I think it would be ‘Birthday Sex’ you know, yeh I like that.
Ok, so as we’re Boxfresh…I’m going to be really clever and ask you as many questions with ‘fresh’ in them as possible, ok?
Ha, ok.
Who’s the freshest dresser in the game?
Charlie Sloth! Come test my wardrobe.
How fresh is your shave?
Very fresh! I did it this morning, I shave every day.
Is it a Mac 3 ting? (Damn, forgot to say fresh)
Dun kno the Mac 3 ting!
Who’s the freshest celeb you’d like to undress?
Beyonce, just to piss of Jay Z, oh, and Heidi from the Sugababes.
How important is it for a lady to keep her Box fresh? (See what I did there? Hahahaha)
Ahahhahahahaha. That’s the rude one. It’s very important! You got to keep that fresh. Charlie Sloth for hygiene.
What’s the longest you’ve been without keeping your hygiene game fresh?
I shower twice a day, the only time is when I’ve been in trouble with the law, but you got to be clean!
Ok, I’m pretty rubbish at that game, let’s stop…just tell me about how much you love Boxfresh…
Yeh, it’s a big look!
‘One More Drink’ is out on Charlie’s own Grimey Limey label on the 18th January 2010, the album will follow in early summer. You can catch the 2nd Series of the ‘Charlie Sloth Show’ at Charliesloth.com
