Liner Notes

#Skirmish #pop I wrote these lyrics last FAWM in a Skirmish. Here's the music and vocals demo I came up with. It's going on my next album!

Lyrics

Blondes have more fun, it's what gentlemen adore
But I know the truth, it gives you better vocal cords

As I’m watching music videos I notice
Be female, male, an either or a both is
It isn’t the leather, lace or dresses
All lead singers have platinum tresses

I need to be more famous and the trick is
That Barbie hair can help enhance my image
Who cares my complexion, race or gender
My roots won’t matter as a streaming trender

I’m gonna be a singer I gotta be blonde
I wanna be a star so the bleach is going on
Gonna lighten these locks, erase my brown mop top
To be a famous singer then I gotta be blonde

I’d be Billie, as in Eilish or Idol if I could
Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, or Carrie Underwood
Be like Avril Lavigne or Christina Aguilera
Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga or even Shakira

I’m gonna be a singer, I gotta be blonde
I wanna be a star so the bleach is going on
Gonna lighten these locks, erase my brown mop top
To be a famous singer then I gotta be blonde, be a blonde

With tones of Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande
The style of Debbie Harry from the 80s band Blondie
Honey like Beyonce, champagne like Etta James
Though Taylor Swift is great, her shade’s a little tame

When I lift to a paler hue
Maybe I'll be crooning out a top ten tune
Maybe finally seat shows full
Maybe host a meet n greet

I wanna be Madonna and David Lee Roth
I wanna be Vince Neil and Sebastian Bach
Gonna lighten these locks, erase my brown mop top
This will give me better vocals
That’s why I wanna be a blonde
I just gotta be a blonde, be a blonde, be a blonde

I ring up my beautician and we're talking
She says to hurry down there as a walk-in
As I wait in the chair, I’m texting my producer
My mane ‘ll match my platinum record future

I’m gonna be a singer, I gotta be blonde
I wanna be a star so the bleach is going on
Gonna lighten these locks, erase my brown mop top
I’ll be a famous singer cuz I’m gonna be blonde
I’m gonna be blonde, I’m gonna be blonde, I’m gonna be blonde

Cuz I’ve gotta be blonde

Absolutely brilliant, everything about this is great. Love the cheekiness about it and it's poptastic nature. I just loved it.

This is super cool. Love the vocal delivery. A bit of a hijack, ive been searching for a vocalist to sing a pop rock song. I've asked a couple of FAWMers but they haven't responded yet. Would you be interested in checking out the song to see if you want to collab on it? It sounds like your voice can fit. I can send you a link if you want to check it out

What a nod to pop music... and slight social commentary. Really enjoyed this one. Especially that you decided to go bubble gum pop with that

This is absurdly fun. The sheer poppy-ness of it is off the charts, I half expected to go blonde just listening to it.

I love the music. Composition A++. And the vocals have the perfect "pouty" inflection; it fits perfectly with the Madonna tunes that this protagonist wants to emulate. Sebastian Bach is a total sex symbol...

This is so catchy and sing-alongable, if that's even a word, clever and accessible, and that's not an easy combination, but you make it sound easy, and that's an whole other degree of difficulty. Basically, just brilliant, and fun, and enjoyable and relevant.

Double plus points for Sebastian Bach.

Oh this is wonderful! I love everything about this—the lyrics, the instrumentation, the vocal inflections. So so good!

This is such a delight! I love the pop plucky sounds; they fit perfectly with the lyrics, which are great, and your wonderful vocal delivery. A totally blonde package! You've got it made for sure. TikTok video here you come!

Ok I'm spinning in my chair...wow..A little dizzy now! Those drums just carry the vibe of this song. This is platinum!

Love these lines
"I wanna be Madonna and David Lee Roth
I wanna be Vince Neil and Sebastian Bach"....

Great song! Quite different but still Suzanne Vega popped up in my mind.
