One-Hit Wonder
This one's a bit involved, but it's pretty fun.
Okay, so in order to have a hit, you need an awesome band with an awesome Band Name.
1) To find your totally radical band name, select your favorite artist in your media player. Set your player to "shuffle" (or random, etc.) and press "play." Then skip forward three times. Repeat this three times. Now, re-arrange the words in the song titles to create your band name. You must use at least ONE word from each song. You may use all the words if you like.
Song1- In the Cold Light of the Morning~Placebo, Song2- The Crawl~Placebo, Song3- Days Before You Came~Placebo
Band Name: The Cold Before the Crawl
Great! Now you need a Music Genre.
2) To get your own unique music genre, open your media player and go to the first band listed alphabetically between the letters "M" and and "R". (long letter range for people with small music libraries) Mark down what genre that band falls under. Things such as "Various Artists" and "Unknown" are to be skipped. Now, mark down the last band genre listed between the letters "A" and "F." Combine the two genres to get your own. You may mix names to make a more-fun sounding genre.
Genre1- Pop, Genre2- Rock
Music Genre: PopRock
Now you need an Album Title. All good bands have catchy album titles. This is a proven scientific fact.
3) For your red hot top selling album title, open your media player and set it to "shuffle." (we see a trend here) Press "play" and shuffle forward five times. Mark down the band name. Now shuffle forward three times. Record that band name. Lastly, shuffle forward one more time and stop. Open the playlist for the band you just landed on and shuffle forward three more times. Record the song title your player stopped on. Now make any combination of the two band names and song title you see fit.
Band1- No Doubt, Band2- RENT , Song1- Short Skirt, Long Jacket
Album Title: No Rent, Short Doubt
Now that you got your awesome band name, unique music genre, and too cool for school album title- you need to figure out the title of your Hit Song.
4) To figure out the name that will get you recognized by screaming girls and jumping boys everywhere, open your media player and go back to your favorite artist. Put your player on "shuffle" and skip forward five times. Make note of the song title and band name, then look up the lyrics (or not if you know them by heart) and write down the first two lines of the song. Choose 3-6 words from those lines and they will be your hit song title.
Song- I'll Be Yours~Placebo
Lyrics- I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
Hit Song: I'll be bathing you clean
And now, for the finale- your hit Song Lyrics.
5-A) The First Verse Open your media player and select any four artists who's names fall between the letters "R" and "Z."
Artist1- SmashMouth, Artist2- Thrice, Artist3- Weezer
Go to Artist1 and set your player to "shuffle"- skip forward three times. Write down the first two lines in the song. Next, go to Artist2 and set your player to "shuffle"- skip forward four times. Write down the second two lines from the song. Go to Artist3 and set your player to "shuffle"- skip forward five times. Write down the last two lines in the song.
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
Turn these pages of my mind
Oh, oh
That's okay, the best songs don't rhyme at all. This is also a proven scientific fact.
5-B) The Second Verse Repeat the steps you did in 5-A, except find three artists inbetween letters "D" and "L."
Artist1- Depeche Mode, Artist2- Eiffel 65, Artist3- Gorillaz
Again, repeat the second set of steps found in 5-A, this time using your new artist choices.
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
Heaven
Can always turn around
Can you hear me?
I said M1 A1
And now, the best part.
5-C) The Catchy Chorus Open your media player and pay a visit to your favorite artist one last time. Set your player to "shuffle" and click "play" - skip forward three times. Write down the first two lines of the song's chorus. If the song has no chorus, skip to another song that does. Repeat this step three more times, writing down the lyrics as you did with the verses.
I'm weightless
I'm bare
Bite the hand that feeds, tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees, I break the back of love for you
I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
You don't care about us... oh oh.
You don't care about us... oh oh.
That's it. Throw it all together and what do you get?
"I'll Be Bathing You Clean" by The Cold Before the Crawl off of thier new PopRock album "No Rent, Short Doubt"
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
Turn these pages of my mind
Oh, oh
I'm weightless
I'm bare
Bite the hand that feeds, tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees, I break the back of love for you
I'll wait my turn
To tear inside you
You don't care about us... oh oh.
You don't care about us... oh oh.
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
Heaven
Can always turn around
Can you hear me?
