Good Evening


What is your song idea?
Alfred Hitchcock films. They always feature really involved plots and you think you know where they're going, but then you end up tricked! Murder, spies, double crossing: good stuff. Always one step ahead of the audience. After watching a couple recently, I think they would provide good fodder for a song. I hope you agree.

What is your song idea?
I love your music, and have played several songs on my community radio show, showcasing the best music you may never have heard before. The show is called Brutha Voodoo's Playlist Obscura and I was wondering if you'd be able to do a track specially for the show?

A Tendril On The Sun



Words and Music by T. W. Tendrils

there is a tendril on the sun
floating above the hydrogen
there is a tendril on the sun
if we were there we would weigh a ton
there is tendril on the sun
dancing her dance for everyone
there is a tendril on the sun
somewhere a tendril
there is a tendril
there is a tendril on the sun

there a crater on the moon
a dark and inverted balloon
there is a crater on the moon
and in the dark i hear her sing this tune

ooo

Brains



Words and Music by B. T. Nook, Featuring vocals by M.M. Healy!

I've mastered the art of the witty riposte
And though I'm far too modest to boast
The leering is not just the slobs on the street
It's damn near every single man I meet

Why can't they want me just for my
Bray-ee-ay-ee-ains

Lately I haven't needed my quips
Preoccupied by the apocalypse
Of course, well don't you know
The finest male minds were the first to go

Now what chance do I stand of finally finding a man who wants my
Bray-ee-ay-ee-ains

I crawled out of the shelter
for a break from the despair
in the sullen moonlight
a voice hung in the air

He lumbered toward me his gaze fixed on my cortex
He never so much even glanced at my assets
This kind of love can't be feigned
Finally a man who wants
Have I finally found a man
Is there a man who wants my

Bray-ee-ay-ee-ains

What is your song idea?
A beautiful girl frustrated with how men can not see past her body ends up on a date (possibly a blind date) with a zombie in the twilight of the zombie Apocalypse. But it all works out when she discovers that he likes her for her brains... love song!

This Wall



Words and Music by Uso Oso

So, the deja vue I'm feeling is more than something in my head. It's a pain and it's straight shooting right down to my feet. But, I will not go down.

No, this wall won't keep me down.

I go, yeah I won't be discouraged by a pain that tries to slow me down.
It gives me strength, to know that I can flourish, with some positively reinforcing lines.

No, this wall won't keep me down.

What is your song idea?
i broke my left pinky toe. twice. on the same corner of the same wall in the same place in my bedroom. the first time i broke the shit out of it; half my foot turned black and blue, had to wear a velcro orthopaedic shoe and use a cane for weeks to recover. just as it was healing i jammed it and broke it AGAIN but this time i refused to let it slow me down, and two days later i was at the gym, working out with my trainer, and have stayed active ever since.

but i'm bummed out that i keep breaking it. and i feel like i'm living in this tiny apartment and my little pinky toe is vulnerable! i want to take good care of it and have a song to sing along to it while i'm working out, or while i'm walking down the street, something up-tempo that will tell it that i believe in it, that it can heal really super strong this time, so even if i stub it again it won't break again.

y'all made me a SUPER AWESOME song about me being a freelance writer so i hope it's not greedy to ask for another song. my friend megan said it was ok to ask for another. :) a song to sing along to that gives my toe some positive energy reinforcement while it heals this time would be so awesome! and it would make me laugh while it hurts. because it takes weeks and weeks to heal! thanks thanks thanks thanks!

Cthulhu Sleeps Tonight

Words and Music by T. W. Tendrils


Travelers from space plan a trip to the Galapagos
and to their dismay, they land in a zombie apocalypse
zombies eat their brains before they can return to space
oh no

but there's hope for us still
i won't if you will give up the fight
it's just a case of do or die

for Cthulhu sleeps tonight
Cthulhu sleeps tonight
Cthulhu sleeps tonight
and he'll grind our bones to ash by the morning light

What is your song idea?
Space travelers from a different universe stumble upon our own and discover earth. Only to find it is in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. They get stranded. The end is open to interpretation.

Root For The Man You Love



Words and Music by T. W. Tendrils

When my father told me about the birds and the bees
I never imagined I'd get a bike tune up for my anniversary
an esoteric board game, McGruber DVDs
and if he had told me, I wouldn't have beleived

oh won't you please say something stupid
so I can kiss you just to shut you up
you can't help rooting for
you can't help rooting for the man you love

When my mother told me how to love and please a man
she didn't informed about the daftness that they have
and that I'd have to innuendo, I'd have to wink and drop a hint
and if she did tell me, well I forget

oh won't you please say something stupid
so I can kiss you and shut you up
I can't help rooting for
I can't help rooting for the man I love

and you could bake me a cupcake
you could take me for a walk
you could make a piece of art with me
or we could just sit down and talk

and if you do say something stupid
I'm going to kiss you just to shut you up
I can't help rooting for
I can't help rooting for the man I love
oh I can't help rooting for
I can't help rooting for the man I love

What is your song idea?
I would like to have a Valentine's Day song for my boyfriend Sean. I think it should be about how he always comes up with the least romantic ideas for celebrating special occasions (i.e. getting my bike tuned up for Valentine's Day, giving me the most esoteric board game for christmas, watching MacGruber for my birthday,going to a rave for our 3rd year anniversary etc.- feel free to make up other really strange ways of celebrating with someone). In the end though I want the song to indicate that even though he has no idea how to be romantic, I still love him.

Perhaps this song could give him hints about how i would like to celebrate our relationship... baking cupcakes together, going on a walk, making a piece of art work.

Volunmotivation

Words and Music by Rachelintrees



Friday night
whatcha gonna do
your friends are goin out the house to party
should you go to
or could you make a difference in the lives of those around you

There's work to do
in our community
people volunteering up their time and working for free
something more worthwhile i don't think that there could be

In Philadelphia
this wonderful city
come show your
brotherly love
brotherly love
willingly

So put down your beer
and keep your head clear
pitch in on that research project and help the community
they need you at the PhilaPhilaPhila CDRC
they need you at the PhilaPhilaPhila CDRC!

What is your song idea?
My song idea can be wrapped up in the proposed title: "It is Great to Volunteer for the Philadelphia Community Development Resource Center and Use Your Skills to Make this City an Awesome Place". Okay, the title isn't exactly set in stone.

Anyway, I recently started a community development organization in Philadelphia and have been getting volunteers applying from area colleges and I want to get them jazzed up to make a difference. There is no better way than their own special song that motivates them to skip the keg on Friday night and buckle down on a project for a local nonprofit. By writing us a song you aren't selling out and going corporate -- we're not even technically an incorporated non-profit and we don't make any money (or have any for that matter). We're just about helping out Philly's overworked non-profit sector by lending a hand.

The song needs to be happy and motivation and convey that they will make a difference. Imagine the volunteer has a beer in their hand and is about to take a drink and then your song comes on... your song needs to make them put that beer down and say "No beer! Today I'm going to work on that research project for PhilaCDRC!"

Fast Forward



Words and Music by T. W. Tendrils

long long ago-ah
in shanendoah
there was a video store
named fast forward
oh fast forward

fast forward
fast forward

they rented movies
and then on tuesdays
you kept them for one more day
at fast forward
yes fastforward
fast forward
fast forward
fast forward
fast forward

Frank Matt and Gail
Rick Tim and Kyle
Here's to your video store
oh fast forward
yes fastforward
fast forward
fast forward
fast forward
fast forward

What is your song idea?
A mom and pop video store back in the day called "Fast Forward Video" that everyone knew in a small town (Shenandoah, PA) until it closed down due to a bigger franchise video store moving into the town, such as Blockbuster. During this time it was the end to most of all the mom and pop video stores in the country.

The store was run by Frank & Gail. Their children, Matt, Kyle, Tim, & Rick used to be down there everyday helping out, sleeping by the kerosene heater or playing Nintendo in the back. The store only closed on Wednesday's and that's when people use to get to keep their videos out for an extra day. It always opened at 2p.m. The building has since been turned into a nieghbors garage.

Chimps



I took a chance
on a chimp
and he chased me
down a choo-choo train
and he chewed on my cheek
straight through to my brain

but that isn't true
it was just a mistake
'cause how could I speak
if chewed he through my cheek

Call Of Duty



Words and Music by Stryker

call of duty
in some foreign land
16 gun in hand
just to kill a man

and all I can do is watch them die
and wonder them not I
because I shot them first
I never asked for this
I never asked to live
the company marches on

water soaked to bone
letters from back home
are better left alone

cause there's no time to watch them die
because I shot them first
I only wanted this
I only want to live
I'm fodder for their fire
I'm tinder to the fire
the company marches on

What is your song idea?
i play a video game series COD( call of duty) it takes place through the times of 1942 on the beachs of normany to the present war of terrorism 2009. fighting between in vetenam and iraq, id prefer something hardcore rock not fast not too slow just mix it up a bit

Of The Sun


Words and Music by Uso Oso



And it's easy to believe that there's a light on at the end if the snow. Just make some tea and take a backseat. Let everything unravel in the glow of the sun.

So the snow just may continue through the months that you looked into going out. But, when it's warmer there will be more to view under the basking of the glow of the sun.

Yeah, it's easy to remember when you look into the embers of your soul. Just think of all the blooming, when all you think is gloom and have doubt of the sun.

What is your song idea?
A song to beat the winter doldrums. Life becomes lonely and gray and flu-y between the holiday season and springtime. I want to wake up and smell the crocuses.
