Radio-friendly pop song - Matt Fishel

It’s a pleasure to meet you my friend
Come take a seat at my desk
I gotta tell ya, kid
The whole team is more than impressed
Your melodies soar
And all of your choruses shine
The lyrics are sound
And your voice is fundamentally fine

But face it, if you wanna make it onto radio
Kid, you gotta do as I say
Change all the “hims” into “hers”
And just don’t tell the world that you’re
Shh!

Happy to help, take my card
Please think about what I’ve said
But this is an industry where people make money
So your art has to sell
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
And you should never seek to challenge an audience
They buy what they’re told
And we never get it wrong
Go write us a non-offensive, tasteful, conventional song
Like this one

Girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it should be
Forever

Welcome to tinsel town
Kid, I’m gonna make you a star
You got the fire in your gut
And everything that you need to go far
You’re a talented guy
You could shake Hollywood to the ground
And with us on your side
Plus your looks
You’re gonna conquer this town

But face it, if you wanna break into this business
Kid, you gotta play the part
And you’ll never play a leading man
If you let onto your fans the truth about who you are
Just remember that

Girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it has been
Forever

Yeah, girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it will be
Forever

On the radio
In Hollywood
On the TV-shows
For the greater good
He said, “Think about the children
Think about the children”

You wanted me to write a hit record for the radio
Are you never gonna get it?
The kids already know

Some girls like girls
Some boys got a boyfriend
I like guys and they like me
We hold hands, make-out
And do all the things that lovers do

Some girls like girls
Some boys got a boyfriend
I like guys and they like me
We hold hands, make-out
And do all the things that lovers do

Some girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it has been
Forever

Yeah, some girls like boys
And boys like girls
And that’s the way it will be
Whatever
