Personalised Retirement Songs to Roast & Toast Them

Speeches at leaving dos are usually a bit awkward. A song closes the speech with a bang — the whole room laughing at the same inside jokes, the retiree genuinely moved. It also gives them a recording of all the things colleagues never quite got round to saying out loud.

• Funny / Roast: the catchphrases, the famous mistakes, the legendary meetings
• Heartfelt: a sincere thank-you for the years of mentorship
• Cheeky: playful jabs without going full roast
• Nostalgic: a journey through the decades they've worked

• Their name, role and how long they've been there
• Two or three things they're known for
• One running joke from the team
• Their plans for retirement (golf, garden, finally sleeping)
• A music style — country, rock, acoustic, 80s pop
