Happiness is a Battenberg named David is Cosmic Bos' entry to the Monthly Music Challenge 2.2 Happiness podcast.
The song is about David Battenberg cake, the mental health support snack that twerks his bottomberg on TikTok live, and his cake family (Victoria sponge, Angel cake & Fairy cake), spreaders of happiness around the world.
Born out of the Monthly Music Challenge (MMC) podcast, David Battenberg cake is one of the characters Andy plays on the show (along with Big Mic, Mr. T, Sexy German, Sir Patrick McKellen and many more) but David has taken on a life of his own, becoming something of a mascot for conversation and happiness.
There is no problem that can't be overcome with a conversation and a cake after all.
Cosmic Bos will donate a portion of sales to Mental Health charities.

Happiness is a Battenberg named David by Cosmic Bos
Lyrics by Andy Jackson Feb 2024
Here today, here tomorrow
There’s a way to quell your sorrow
Watch a sunrise with a cake
And your worldly troubles break
There’s no need to be lonely
This vast human community
All need a friendly little chat
Which swiftly puts a stop to that
Say hello to David Battenberg cake
Cake
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(Majestic)
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(David Battenberg cake)
Locked away in frilly cases,
screen capturing silly faces,
share the giggle teary eyes,
scream majestic to the skies,
turn your googly eyes inside,
see the wonders that reside,
Be yourself, kick out the pride,
Open up let us inside,
Life’s the game we’re born to play
Happiness can’t roll away
If it’s Battenberg shaped
Cake
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(Majestic)
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(you make me so happy you do, Mwah)
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(Majestic)
Happiness is a Battenberg named David
(David Battenberg cake)
Here, I, David Battenberg cake
Would like to take this opportunity to tell you how majestic and magnificent you are, you make me all jiggly in the jelly with your awesomeness, I love you from the bottomberg of my Battenberg, stay beautiful and shine your unique energy throughout the cosmic forest, we the human and cake community must do all we can to usher in a hopeful future, for united we are the force of positivity that can overcome the darkness, all we really need is to chat it out, tell your old friend David, there is no problem that can’t be overcome with a conversation and a cake, I love you all

Entropy Waves es la obra unipersonal de un artista para muchos desconocido, pero para mí un gran amigo. Aunque se aleja de los cánones del metal, te adentra en el terror retorcido de la mente humana, llegando a vivir temores y emociones de todo tipo. Una obra vanguardista y un artista versátil. Nada tiene sentido. De Andalucia para el Mundo. ProgRock mezclado con SynthWave y todo un compendio alucinatorio para flipar en colores!!! Frank Román
