I know Cee-L from that f-you song and Arcade from the video with the transexual played by Andrew Garfield

So maybe a f-you to the LGBT community song? Here for it

THINKING ABOUT YOU, GIRL

(Verse 1)
I’m sitting down in an old chair in the basement
Broken lamps all around, buy a replacement
I’m waiting for her, arrive at the station
No longer waiting, this impatient nation

(Verse 2)
Don’t know what happening’s tomorrow
Or what is happening today
All I know is I really want her
She’s only three metres away-ay-ay-ay

(Pre-Chorus 1)
The pavement’s cold without your warmth around me
When I saw you I knew that it was meant to be
Don’t wanna grow old without you, like a tree
Even though I want you, I’m scared you won’t agree

(Chorus)
(shouted)
So listen up lads
When the boys have been bad
You’ve got to treat them special
Show the girl you’re a professional

Update your statuses
Post pictures round the world!

Boys put on your thinking caps
Time for us to THINK IN CAPS

(cheap-sounding electronic breakdown, see: Troye Sivan’s album)

(Verse 3)
I’m waiting in the restaurant at table seven
And when you walk through the door, it’s like I’m in heaven
We start to have a really intense make out session
Before we realize, the clock has struck eleven

(Verse 4)
I wanna take you to my bedsit
And we can do it on the stairs
With you, my life feels just like Disneyland, and
You are the apple to my pears

(Pre-Chorus 2)
My bed is cold without your warmth around me
When I saw you I knew that it was meant to be
Don’t wanna grow old without you, like a tree
Even though I want you, I’m scared you won’t agree

(Chorus)
(shouted)
So listen up lads
When the boys have been bad
You’ve got to treat them special
Show the girl you’re a professional

Update your statuses
Post pictures round the world!

Boys put on your thinking caps
Time for us to THINK IN CAPS

(cheap-sounding electronic breakdown, see: Troye Sivan’s album)

(Bridge)
She looks so sexy on the dancefloor
A rat could never look this good
You know I love to watch you dancing
I love when floors are made of wood

I love when oceans bring me water
And when I buy whipped cream on sale
This shepherd pie tastes just like granny’s
I’ll be the male to your female

I save your photos on my iPad
So I can look at them all day
I bought some scales as a nice present
So I can see how much you weigh

You kind of look just like my mother
Except with sort of grosser teeth
So pour yourself all over my life
And be the gravy to my beef

(Pre-Chorus 3)
My food is cold without your warmth around me
When I saw you I knew that it was meant to be
Don’t wanna grow old without you, like a tree
Even though I want you, I’m scared you won’t agree

(Chorus)
(shouted)
So listen up lads
When the boys have been bad
You’ve got to treat them special
Show the girl you’re a professional

My favourite song that I've read all competition. What on earth were they thinking giving you such low scores?! Me and my boyfriend just read it and we both were laughing (in a good way!), especially at the bridge. I could hear this being played on the radio, it's fun and pretty genius if you ask me.

So sorry you've been eliminated

"You kind of look just like my mother
Except with sort of grosser teeth

I get this is an extremely unique/personal preference but this is like one of my favorite stanzas I've read honestly.

I can't conceive of anything that Cee Lo Green and Arcade Fire have In Common (stream the song by Alicia Keys now).

[Gladion]

I see what you mean 8th!!! Thank you for clearing it up

[MattyTacos]

This Mxtthew rebellion, rise girls

[8thPrince]

Honestly I would've given Mxtthew 4 additional points + the hiring bonus had he submitted to the right label.

I actually probably would've hired mxtthew had he submitted to my label, his style is the closest I've seen in the competition that lines up to what I was thinking.

Mxtt idk if you're looking for critique but I think you were really unfairly rated tbh. I stan for Hannah Diamond + Hey QT so I ~get~ you a little more I think, I'm not saying your song was a 10 but a lot of the lyrics are really authentically minimalist ( ), in a legitimately good way.

Good writing. Do not let your boot discourage you.

Thank you darlings I am happy that some people will like the things I write as I do work hard on them, so I'm grateful for this

I'll be the male to your female

Gross. Now I absolutely must do better or else there's no hope left for me.

Are you HOT? My PM box is open

I can't read suddenly, I don't know.

mxtthew's song The bridge made me legit lol. Some of the lyrics are just so random.

[Gladion]

Can't wait for the challenge

I feel my magnum opus is coming

[mxtthewdelrey]

[Temporal]

almost done i thinks

[jpow]

is the challenge to write a song about grammy awards?

[8thPrince]

All I know is next year y'all better be ready for the writing camp of teenage trio and doo-wop/60s-girl group revivalists Chemical's debut album!

[Cupid]

Had anyone just written a really solid, spunky, and catchy pop song

But here's what I have trouble with.

You're saying we took ourselves too seriously... But your brief literally said...

darker, creepier, cooler, and edgier

we want weird, creative

ethereal and/or haunting vibes

fun songs

You only mentioned fun once, and the other 8 words were all dark / edgier.
That's why I thought you were looking for something that wasn't a regular catchy pop song.

The whole reason I picked your label was because I thought we could experiment.

No shade but it sounds like you don't really know what you were looking for.

Fun but also dark and edgy and creepy
Appeals to young but also old
Experimental with spoken / word bridges but also a catchy pop song

I'm not trying to cause drama, i'm pleased with my score and I appreciate the positive feedback.
Just a bit confusing.

I'm getting Halsey vibes.
8th, would this have fit your label?
