NEW CHAPTER
It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)
Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

RHITZY RHITZ
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
I’m looking to have a song written for my girlfrind for her 30th birthday in January.
Rhian loves 80′s music, dance music and some top 40 stuff. Her iPod has a lot of Kylie, George Michael, Janet/Michael jackson, scissor sisters, etc.
Rhian’s full name is Rhian Sioned Davies. Rhian is pronounced “Rhee-an” or “Ian” with an “R” in front. She is the youngest of three. Her family moved to quartile when she was only about 2 years old. They also told her she was left by the gypsies! = )
Rhian grew up on what she fondly calls the “north side”. An expensive and well to do part of Sydney that mostly refined people live in. However she now lives in the northern territory in “Darwin”
Rhian has also been known to impersonate crocodiles but then says “they can do it better than I can”
Rhian played international football. She was a defender and the team wore green and gold.
Rhian now works as a paramedic/ambulance officer, and they wear an ENTIRE outfit of dark green! (something about a green gerkin)
Rhian is also a massive scaredy cat! She hates scary moves and has been known to push others in front of her when faced with a threat…
Rhian’s most distinguishing feature would definitely be her laugh! It comes from the belly and can turn the head of anyone within a 100 metre radius!
Rhian can be messy.
She gives 150% in anything she does.
Rhian watches the same movies repeatedly but laughs like it’s the 1st time she heard the joke.
Some of the quirky things about Rhiannon include, but are by no means limited to;
* motion sickness – she is terrible on ANY mode of transport! She will vomit driving down a straight road with a slight curve, or the rocking motion of a train!!
* KFC’s “2′piece feed” – she likes to have her picnic and is incapable of conversation while she eats it
* hair twirling – she twirls strands of hair around her finger then flicks the end with her fingers. Getting her attention while she does this is like performing an exorcism. She gets in a trance and she’s gone!
Rhian often gets many a compliment about her tight backside (and plays up to it too!) and brings it out every time she hits the dance floor. It’s called “buun-gee shaking”
Can be quite emotional and will ALWAYS cry watching TV and movies! Even cried watching a McDonalds ad!
Rhian once performed in a drag show at a gay club called “ARQ” with friends. If you could include a reference possibly with “it’s hot in here” ( in a high pitched Women’s voice). Apparently Rhian had to say this and it came out really high!
Rhian also has fond memories of sneaking into “spicy friday’s” at the landsdown hotel for a quiet dance and a couple of drinks. Instead she was always hammered and stayed there till she was kicked out or too ill to stay.

THE FREAKACAST THEME
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
An intro theme for a podcast. The podcast is called The Freakacast! and is hosted by Andrew and Matt.
http://afelson1.wordpress.com/
The song could be a callback to saturday morning cartoon theme songs.
I would like the phrase “Freaks in, Freaks out! as the closing lyric.
Some of our broad topics of interest: Movies, Super Hero’s, Lego, Video Games, cartoons
If you can fit it in, after our names the following phrases:
Matt- The builder
Andrew- The idea man

JUSTIN, WOAH
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
My name is Alexis, and my sweet husband’s birthday is coming up. I’d really love to treat him with one of your songs.
His name is Justin. Since he’s a very positive and happy guy, I’d love a tune to reflect that. Something 80′s-ish with a guitar introduction would be wonderful. :) Bub’s favourite band is Bon Jovi.
When singing, please do so in the third person. (He, she, they…)
We met at college and would always walk around campus together. People would look at us strangely because I look so young and he had a beard at the time, so everyone thought he was an old pervert. :P
The first time I invited him over to my parents’ house, he stood up to my unbearably overbearing mother for me. My parents still hate him for it. Be sure to mention how their opinion doesn’t matter because I love him.
Justin works as a busboy at Ihop and comes home every day smelling like yummy pancakes. He lets me ride on his back and pretend he’s a dinosaur when we’re out and about. We get slushies together every day.
Things that should be mentioned:
-How much Kitty loves Bob
-How warm his hugs are
-Purple Minivans and Slugbugs
-Randomly yell “bingo” somewhere in the song
-How great Mountain Dew is
The chorus should consist of something like wishing him a happy __th birthday and now it’s time for cake and ice cream. (Each time you sing the chorus the number should get bigger and more ridiculous.)
It would be great if you could include something about the “big book” at JC Penny’s. We went there the other day and the lady said, (rather snobbily,) that they don’t have those anymore. It was funny because Justin felt old asking for it. x3
Back in his younger years Justin was the very definition of prissy. He had all of the best shampoos and everything, got manicures… You could poke fun at him for that- I know I do, haha.
Justin often says, “Strangely, I’m okay with that,” as a response and it usually doesn’t make sense.
Ooh, and could you use, “there was a firefight!” Like in this clip?
Boondock Saints is one of his favourite movies, that being his favourite quote.
We like to eat beans and weenies, but Justin accidentally called it beans and weenies and hotdogs one day, so we call it that now. :3
I’d really love for the song to be released on his birthday, August 12th.

BABY (80S TRANCE POLKA VERSION)
You should cover a song that a) should never be covered in the first place and b) in a style that it never should be covered in.

COLLEEN
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
My mom is having a knee replacement so I wanted a song to cheer her up/let her know how much I (and my family) love her/make her feel special. It would be great if it could be a short, upbeat, fun song. Here are things she likes: cute dogs, yard sales, eating dinner with her shoes off, Orangutans, beer, scrabble. Her name is Colleen.
I’d love a George Clinton-style song!
It doesn’t have to be at all about her knee. In fact, it’d be better if it’s just about how great she is. We have a dog named Henry who is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (a purebred rare breed and it’s apparently pronounced GriffOn, like “gone”).
Ooh, inside jokes:
“I agwEE but I not UGwee” (pretty self-explanatory, we were talking in a funny accent and the two words sounded the same with the emphasis changed)
“No tacks!” = a boy in her preschool used to put thumb tacks in his mouth, so he started saying this when he was proud of himself for obeying by NOT having a mouthful of tacks.
Other good references:
We like to play poker (for money) and make up different combiations of ridiculous games like “blind baseball dropsie”.
We love going yard-sale-ing.
A boy in her preschool touched her breast and said “I like your shirt. My mom doesn’t have shirt like these!” There have been many somewhat inappropriate but funny things the preschoolers have said about her breasts. Even just saying “all the preschoolers like her shirt” would be funny.
