If there were a character in a Broadway musical who gets suspended upside down above a shark tank and is forced under penalty of death to summarize the whole of world history in less than one minue and eleven seconds, I was just wondering what that would sound like.
Write a song about my wife, Freya, and how she always lies. When she relates stories I've told her, she always throws things in there I never said. It should be in her most hated genre, teen angst rock.
please make a song about cheese and how it is really good but sometimes too hot. so hot that it can burn the top of your mouth off!
Could you please make a Christmas song about fallling down the stairs using only words that start with "P," "M," "B," and "S"? And maybe "E," too. Thanks!
I think you should write a song about a man ordering a burrito and being extremely intimidated by the size of it. The music should be Celtic techno, or any other blend of two genres that would not be
caught eating a burrito together.
you should write a little love song with male and female vocals, both of which you should sing. the premise of this song being that girl loves boy because he knows how much milk and sugar she likes in her coffee. and boy loves girl because she likes zombies.
you should make a song about how awesome Superdeer is.
A song entirely composed of vowels. Aaaaaeeeeiiiiiiiiiiooooouuuuuuusometimesy. Either one long howl, or a death metal growl, or short staccato bursts of vowelness. Then, at the end, yell "VOWELTACULAR!"
Make a song about baking. Possibly the process of making cupcakes? Yes. Mention something about pink frosting 30 seconds into the song and sprinkles 60 seconds into the song. Please use a bongo to create the song, and if not a bongo then just bang on a pan. Since a song about just baking would be boring, also talk about smelly shoes!
I'm from Germany and I would love to hear a song in German. If you don't speak any German just sing some gibberish that sounds like German. But you should use the words "Vorsprung durch Technik," maybe to some smooth piano sounds.
I think you should create a song about badgers. There should be a background beat of someone repeating the word "badger" quite fast, an occasional mention of the word "mushroom," and something about a snake in there somewhere.
I bet you could make a killer song out of my lame boss! he's a bodybuilder, and he has an album full of pictures of himself from his competing days, and he's in a speedo and it's really disturbing and he
shows it to everyone. he uses phrases like "on the juice" and "'roid rage" and "carbo load." he eats gross food all the time and always tells me what his body fat percentage is. he blinks WAY TOO MUCH. he
says "basically" all the time, when it doesn't even make sense to use it, like ten times a sentence. no joke.
make a song about a polar bear fighting a unicorn, preferably early 80s rap.
My rabbit has eaten the last of the lettuce in the house and my mother will not go to the market until tomorrow. Please write him a cheering song and mention my name, Silvia, so he knows that I love him more than my brother. His name is Joe. The brother, not the rabbit. The rabbit's name is Poopie. He is the color of poo.
dear songmaker: please make an a cappella chant song about people who photocopy their body parts, with at least 14 layers of your voice.
Could you please make a song with spoons and about spoons?
I was wondering if you could make a song about a samurai flying on the back of a giant eagle? And if you could say "Ra-pa-pa-pa" really fast somewhere within it too.
