Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

We have a commercial that won three Cannes Lions certificates in the only competition it has been entered into. We were on a quick deadline for it, and now have time to re visit it and make it even more of what we wanted... Here is what we have so far...

We want music that is a bit more modern, alt rock, fun... like this Flaming Lips song (or maybe something White Stripes ish). Start at 1:51 into the clip until the start of the lyrics.

The selection of your music that we would need will run from 20 to 55 secs as we are working on paring the length to 33 seconds. As it is for competition, everyone that has worked on the production has done so for free. As well, you will have to sign the rights to use the song to us because competitions will not accept an entry without it.

This will be brilliant on any reel, promote it, and some VPs at Coca Cola often judge on these projects. So give us riffs that people cannot get out of their heads!

That's not quite "above board" to try and get other people to write music for advertising with any promise of remuneration.

In short, you are an opportunist and should be shunned like the plague.

What happened to your regular creative dept within the advertising dept you are running? All out of juice? Deadline swiftly approaching? Desperation setting in?

So... do the work and turn over the rights to you. Where do i sign up!
Cool video clip though.

$125/hour and I'll consider it.

$125/hour? This is Coke $125 per note

RG - will you be my manager?!!!

Drink Coke and it'll make your butt big
Especially if you been drinking it since you were a kid
If you drink Coke all day
Your teeth will quickly rot away
I'm a musician and your just fishing
To get my songwriting pay
You make the money
The Coke VPs think it's funny
M@#therF#*ker won't you just go away

Sung to the tune of
"I drink Dr. Pepper and I'm proud"

I'd like to buy the world some Coke
And keep it company
I'd like to buy the world some Coke
And snort in misery

We work pretty hard on our craft and you just waltz in here and ask us nicely to give it to you for no recognition, no money and nothing, period.

I am contacting Coke AND forwarding this entire thread to the local AFM in Trenton.

F You Clark and your apartment in Toronto..you are a liar and a fraud.

I have lots o songs... and they're all "for sale" !!!

Is Barry Manilow not writing jingles any more?
