Things you'd never normally sing about (athlete's foot song)

kapoo:
illwobble, I told you that idea I had of writing a happy song about sadness, or a sad song abut happiness. I still haven't done it myself either..
yes I did write a song based on your brief back in September, Kapoo. It drifted a bit off the brief maybe, but I hope to have a demo ready before too long. Song's called "Jonathan".

Water buffalo, rape and artexing

Nirvana did a nice little ditty about rape, didn't they? Lots of nice suggestions here, people. I'll get thinking!! -
How about something for the Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc 'losers' (meaning 'winners' in real life)?... while there are plenty of commercials for these things on TV, they generally utilize other (non specific), previously existing songs as their soundtracks...but you could write the first 'specific' song for this subject....maybe something like 'I can see my toes now', or 'I lost 5" off my waist'...there are a million ideas for this. You could make it a up lifting song of 'champion' nature or somber, defeating in sound (i.e. 'I still sneak that cake when I shouldn't')
Or how about diabetes? There's actually a little expression that helps people realize when their sugar is too low or too high ('Hot and clammy, eat some candy - cold and dry, sugar's high')...you could build that into a song. And to give you an idea - here's another example of a somewhat uplifting, light hearted commercial that was effective in teaching about another serious medical condition:
-
how about the age old problem of going for a pee after sex and your nozzle being on the wrong setting
...can be very messy!

Part of me wishes I could have the guts to sing about things like that, but I think not!

Bad news! The song I was working on is now done, and I've recorded a demo.
It's rubbish! Easily the worst, most juvenile and unpleasant thing I've ever written. I also stuck with the bodily functions theme and the only one of your ideas I eventually included was herc's belly button idea. I haven't even uploaded it as a public track, but with that disclaimer I'm happy to post the "private" URL here: "Song and Dance (Athlete's Foot)", featuring Magnus Forrester-Barker on Banjo

vulgar song titles for vulgar songs: "Help Me (the Dandruff's Falling)" "A Lay with a Stranger" "Golden Showers" "It's a S----t house (With Indoor Plumbing, You Can Let it All Come Out)" "Wish I Could Give B.J.'s Like My Sister Kate"
I've got a whole thread of these. Might seek that out and haul it back up to the surface just like it emerged from my revolting inner Pandora's Box of the Id, it's really disgusting. Thought it was funny at the time
ops: A lot of this this particular thread is funny and punny
Some goes a bit too far
Ugh

"A sad song about happiness--" Kapoo (said he might write one) Isn't that what "My Valentine" is? Was kind of my first impression. Only heard it once so far. Saving more hearings for a pain-y I mean rainy day

that a good call Susy, Valentine is a bit like that. I've not written one that way yet, that I can think of. I've done happy song about sadness before. JS, I actually personally love the music to this!! I personally would re-write the lyrics 100% as soon as possible, but the music is keeper! changes and musical bits that are really pleasing to the ear. the changes all make sense and flow. smelly pits smelly pits
classic stammers. speaking of songs with a tinge of vulgarity, check out my tune with Macsbacks
blatantly just about hookers

Ooh, thanks Kapoo, I LIKE that idea. Great way to redeem a failed song! Any ideas for a theme? What is to athlete's foot as yesterday is to scrambled eggs? Have to think.... maybe I should revisit some suggestions earlier in this thread... Yes, I did listen to your prostitution song a couple of times. I like it, nice mean moody nasty vibe! Has great potential. The lyrics are really good actually: quite a tragic theme.
