Call It Music

One year after the death of Michael Jackson, here's a lyric for a new song that's a commentary on the sorry state of the recording industry today.

Call It Music

Get a synthesized drumbeat
Long wild hair
Slick vixen video
Get something there

Husky voiced baritone
Deep in feigned pain
Sounds just like angina
Sounds just like rain

It’s a business venture
A bankable kid
Good till thirty
Keep the skeletons hid
And call it music
And call it music


Automatic voice fix
Sellable smile
Big bold sponsor
Take us for miles

It’s a business venture
A bankable kid
Good till thirty
Keep the skeletons hid
And call it music
And call it music


Got a franchise coming
Posters and toys
First we take Montana
Then the girls and boys

It’s a business venture
A bankable kid
Good till thirty
Keep the skeletons hid
And call it music
And call it music


We need a cable channel
And a show for her
Fake some scandal
Create a stir

It’s a business venture
A bankable kid
Good till thirty
Keep the skeletons hid
And call it music
And call it music
