What if an average Joe had a song idea and it’s amazing?

[Heyandheytoday]

I had a dream (took a lunch break nap), and in the dream a song was playing.

Now, I will remembered half of the lyrics weirdly. And wrote them in my notes app. I’ve then added to it and it really flows!

It is no Adele but the song I’ve written is so poppy and would sound amazing with someone like Ariana Grande singing it.

What if it’s a hit? How would an average joe like me with zero music knowledge put it under her nose?

It has great lyrics but also have the tune/how those lyrics should be sung. How do I communicate that when I can’t write music? Like the notes etc

Please nobody laugh. Just seems to really flows!

No music experience, just a mum of 2 who is probably bored and tired to have even dreamt it

I can’t share the entire song obviously but it’s something like

I just can’t believe it’s Christmas, I’ve waited all year long
I just can’t believe it’s Christmas, but you will when you hear this song

I just can’t believe it’s Christmas, I’ve waited all year long
I just can’t believe it’s Christmas, I’ve got a tree and it’s 10 feet long

Oh oh oh… a merry Christmas!

If you can't write music and your lyrics are this banal, your dreams of making a fortune from this are frankly unrealistic.

Wow. I'm dancing around my kitchen just reading the lyrics. Can't wait to hear it on the radio. Good luck.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not 😅

Oh God

Use AI!

Hum the song into chatGPT and see what it comes up with.

Good luck!

You record yourself singing it and put it on tiktok and tag Ariana. If possible add some snazzy graphics and include any dogs you may own. Given the theme may also be worth wearing some tinsel round your neck and baubles on your ears

😳

Brilliant, @Heyandheytoday . You are on your way to superstardom.

Also, the lyrics don't scan.

Btw I know of a woman who decided to pursue a pop career as a 31 year-old new mum of one. No history of singing/music.

Plenty of people were scathing and thought she was delulu, but I loved the audacity! I must try to find out how she’s getting on with that dream.

This is my favourite ever thread 😁😁😁

I just can't believe it's Christmas, my song is really crap
I just can't believe it's Christmas, dreamt it in my lunchtime nap.

I just can't believe it's Christmas, I've posted in on Mumsnet Chat
I just can't believe it's Christmas, I just need an elf and a santa hat

Oh oh oh… a merry Christmas!

You can get AI to sing a song by a famous singer - I heard Shakira singing the balamory theme tune this morning (although it wasn’t very good and sounded like a bad tribute act)

so sing it to AI of your choice and ask it to redo it in the style and voice of Ariana

OMG this thread is hilarious! I do genuinely want to know the answer though, as I also like to compose songs when I'm pissed.

I just can't believe it's Christmas, Mumsnetters they were mocking
I just can't believe it's Christmas, they said my song was shocking
I just can't believe it's Christmas, so off I went for some TikToking
I just can't believe it's Christmas, my song right now is rocking

Oh oh oh… a merry Christmas!

This thread is brilliant!

Ariana is taking a break for her mental health so offer your song to Taylor Swift or Rihanna or one of Little Mix.

Or Adele herself, she might do it justice.

I mean Mariah seems to have cornered the Christmas market at the moment so this could give Adele a chance to take the crown

Trees are high/tall rather than long though, I think you need a little reworking before you start spending your Royalties I’m afraid. But fair play to you for having this much self confidence.

You must still be dreaming op 😂

Send it to Slade - it’s been 53 years since they had a new Christmas song, they might bite your hand off

Look, all I’m saying is that Tim Rice has been very quiet since this dropped.

This site gets more bonkers by the day 😂
