Story Behind The Song

Totally inspired by the adventures I had while a member of NJ-based rock band The Substance, obviously tongue-in-cheek. We played for every A&R guy on the planet, Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys, & God knows who else - and got about 500 different

Song Description

Strings definitely come on strong on this record, which was intentional. Mostly written on the Korg N5, with BFoot providing Depeche Mode-style guitar licks. The angelic vocals in the background during the choruses are, of course, Bumblefoot.

Lyrics

SHOWCASE

It's magic time
Another night of guest list fun & thrills
It's magic time
I've got my g-string on, take out your bills
A&R guys, get in line
And have your fancy pens in hand
When it's over
Hey, and aren't you guys gonna stay & meet the band?

I know this showcase is the one
The crowd is having too much fun
The notes are right, the set is tight
They all love me
I'm wild, delightful
And I've got a lot of white boy charm in me
So sign me up because I'm radio ready

You know I'm hot
Yeah, you can sell my stuff to all the boys & girls
You know I rock
Yeah, you can put me on a bus to tour the world
I've got style
I'll sit back & let the bidding war begin
Don't you know my songs are fine & dandy?
Don't you know I'm more than just eye candy?

I know this showcase is the one
The crowd is having too much fun
The notes are right, the set is tight
They all love me
I'm wild, delightful
And I've got a lot of white boy charm in me
So sign me up because I'm radio ready
And you'll hear me on the radio

Yeah it's gonna be a night to remember
Yeah it's gonna be the best damn thing you'll see
So show me where to sign on the dotted line
Set up a conference call with your V.P.
Yeah it's gonna be a night to remember
Yeah it's gonna be the best damn thing you'll see
Let's drink ourselves into oblivion
And talk about a show on MTV
Yeah it's gonna be a night to remember
Yeah it's gonna go down in history
You'll make us stars, we'll all be kings
And sleep on beds of money

I know this showcase is the one
The crowd is having too much fun
The notes are right, the set is tight
They all love me
I'm wild, delightful
And I've got a lot of white boy charm in me
So sign me up because I'm radio ready
I know this showcase is the one
The crowd is having too much fun
The level's high and so am I
They all love me
I'm on fire, I'm highly flammable
And I've got originality
So sign me up and you'll hear me on the radio
I can't wait to hear myself on the radio!
