I have a pretty jaded and cynical view of songwriting contests, mostly because almost all of them have an entry fee, often a fairly hefty one. (Of course, it's gong to cost Contest X $35 to get some poor intern to listen to the first 10 seconds of your song. Uh huh.) But I note that this apparently has no entrance fee with no purchase necessary. That's refreshing. Apparently what the company gets out of it is a sort of YouTube flash mob of entrants' songs running 'under' the video of the commercial. Entrants are required to upload copies of the commercial with their song as the soundtrack to the commercial. This will, I'm sure the company hopes, provide an explosion of people uploading the visuals of the vid (along with their music, of course, which is likey to just be considered gravy... the real payload is the presumed thousands of vids of the commercial being uploaded by different YT members). Pretty clever, I have to admit.

I think I've got a few ideas for this. Anyone got any samples of a vomiting cow? "Remember Ye Olde Sweete Shoppe? Luckily, after losing all our baby teeth to sugary, chemically-coloured snacks, we all grew up so there's no feckin' way we're gonna touch that neuro shit. [cue vomiting cow] THE END |

Only $5000 for a 60 sec. clip? Some years ago I did commercial tunes like that every now and then, and was in general paid lots more than that (and that was most often for 30 sec. clips!)...! |

Worth a shot, I guess. Here's what my friend and I submitted: ‪Drink Neuro Candy Shop Song‬‏ - YouTube Not into promoting a product I've never tried before (and don't intend to) but I like the idea of trying to match music with visuals. Nice change of pace from doing just music. Last edited by ryanmcghee303; 2nd August 2011 at 02:01 AM.. Reason: clarify |
