Story Behind The Song

A local music store is having a contest, to see who could write a song that included all the musical and technological gadgets, including iphone. So I did.

Song Description

I don't care how you do it, just play my song! This is the feeling most musicians have in this new world of technology, with ipods, iphones, cd's, etc. I tried to get more technology pieces per minute than anyone!

Play My Song!

Crank up the Victrola.
Watch it spin around,
Or thirty-three and a thirdA¢â,¬A"of vinyl going down.
Push the buttons on the cassette.A¢â,¬A"
Bring the headphones along.
I don't care how you do it,
Just play my song.A¢â,¬A"Why don'tcha play my song.A¢â,¬A"A¢â,¬A"

Get a CD at the storeA¢â,¬A"
Or burn it from the webA¢â,¬A"
From iTunes or from RhapsodyA¢â,¬A"
Before your iPhone goes dead.A¢â,¬A"
Notate it in Sibelius,A¢â,¬A"
Get the tabs to sing along.A¢â,¬A"
I don't care how you do it,A¢â,¬A"
Just play my song.A¢â,¬A"Baby, just play my song.A¢â,¬A"A¢â,¬A"

chorus:A¢â,¬A"I don't care how you get the music out,A¢â,¬A"
As long as you get it in!A¢â,¬A"
You can hum or sing and shout,A¢â,¬A"
Just make my song to spin!A¢â,¬A"A¢â,¬A"

Request it on the radio.A¢â,¬A"
On YouTube, it'll have a place.A¢â,¬A"
Buy it from Broadjam and Amazon,A¢â,¬A"
And hear it on MySpace.A¢â,¬A"
American Idol will sing itA¢â,¬A"
On your iPod you bring along.A¢â,¬A"
I don't care how you do it,A¢â,¬A"
Just play my song.A¢â,¬A"C'mon and play my song!A¢â,¬A"A¢â,¬A"

chorus:A¢â,¬A"I don't care how you get the music out,A¢â,¬A"
As long as you get it in!A¢â,¬A"
You can hum or sing and shout,A¢â,¬A"
Just make my song to spin!A¢â,¬A"A¢â,¬A"

And someday, when I am old
Musack will include it along
A¢â,¬A"But I don't care how they do it,A¢â,¬A"
Just play my song!A¢â,¬A"
C'mon and play my song.A¢â,¬A"
Baby, just play my song!
