Screwed Up People

V2 – fixed vocal & added harmony

V1

==============

I like screwed up people
I like messed up folks
Their logic may all be bull
But they make up better jokes

I like screwed up people
With their bandages and scars
Who try too hard and lose too much
And wind up tending bars

Those who love'em best
They put to the test
They can't understand
When they get canned
They scream murder, slaughter, suicide
But it's all right
They get used to being on the losing side

I like screwed up people
I like the messed up ones
Their logic may all be bull
But they sing all my favorite songs

I like screwed up people
They seem to like me, too
We kill a lot of time together
We got nothing better to do

We're either too old
Or else we're too young
We can't get started 
Or we're already done
We got three good reasons
And more where those came from

That's the kind of messed up people
That's the kind of goofed up people
That's the kind of screwed up people ...
... that I just love ...

EASYGOING COUNTRY SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $1,000, Direct-to-Film Producer placement in an upcoming Independent Feature Film with an Award Winning Indie Film Director!

Important Note: You'll get 100% of the sync fee, and keep 100% of your publishing and master rights. No publishing splits! This Film's Producer is on the hunt for Songs that could work as a replacement for "People Are Crazy" by Billy Currington, which is currently temped in:

"People Are Crazy" by Billy Currington

They're NOT looking for clones or soundalikes! Similar tempo, style, and overall vibe? Yes. Clones? No!

QUOTING THE FILM'S PRODUCER: "We need something that could be playing on a jukebox in small-town bar."

Tempo Matters: Because the scene is already edited, matching (or being close to) the tempo of the reference is strongly recommended.

Please submit easygoing Country Songs with a light-hearted, optimistic sound and lots of Country charm! Memorable melodies, solid arrangements, engaging rhythms, and well-performed vocals are all needed for this request. Country instrumentation in the general stylistic wheelhouse of the reference will suit your submissions best (think acoustic guitar, steel guitar, bass, drums, etc.). Please ensure any virtual instruments or samples you use are high-quality and realistic. Expressive and charismatic vocal performances could help you seal the deal!

Lyrics that avoid references to specific names, dates, times, places, brands, and profanity could make your Songs easier to place. Please do NOT copy the referenced artist or song in any way, shape, or form. Use it as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

The license fee for this placement is (up to) $1,000, depending on the ultimate use. This is a Direct-to-Film Producer placement, so you’ll keep 100% ownership of your Copyright and Master Recordings, plus you’ll also get 100% of the License Fee and any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Copyright and Master Recordings to pitch for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Tuesday, April 30th, 2024. TAXI # S240430CY
