I wrote this song for my grandson. He is seven and at least for now has this thing about, well you know, escaping gas. Anyhow, I sent this to Geo for a little fun and he sent me back this listing and thought I should "go for it". I don't know if most folks would find it offensive or fun? Also don't want to get booted out of taxi. I only have a day to decide. TAXI # S080310IPCOMMERCIAL VERSIONS OF CHRISTMAS SONGS in ALL STYLES (except Rock or traditional/classical versions) needed by an Independent Label with major distribution to license for an upcoming multi-CD compilation project. They aren't looking for any traditional-sounding arrangements, just imaginative and diverse versions of well-known Christmas songs. Stylistically, they would like to focus on Jazz, Swing, Latin, Salsa and Pop. They are open to both originals and covers, and pay all mechanicals. While they would definitely prefer for the songs to have vocals, instrumentals could also be considered. Great performances are essential. Broadcast/Master quality needed. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than Mar. 12, 2008.TAXI # S080312CSgassy rudolphGassy RudolphOk Elves load up the sleigh we still have to get to the Carvers yet tonight.The reindeer went to eat some hay, I will go get themOk, reindeer, I see you have eatenWhat’s that Rudolph’s been eating….baked beans?His red light glows, but hold your noseYou better stand clear we gotta gassy dearRudolph has been eating baked beansWith a crack of a whip, we’re up in the skiesSomething strange burning in my eyesRudolph has been eating baked beansWe’re flying over ChinaWith a big sleigh full of toysWhen all at once it happenedI heard this awful noiseGassy instrumental played on moistened webbing between thumb and first fingerI finally see the Carver’s, I hope they’re fast asleepMaybe we’ll be lucky and Rudolph’s butt won’t leakHis red light glows, but hold your noseYou better stand clear we gotta gassy dearRudolph has been eating baked beansI said Rudolph has been eating baked beansHang in there dancerI said Rudolph’s been eating baked beansGood work reindeer, we’re almost thereNo Rudolph, not again……………..http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... 2&stream=1

OH Ye of little faith spend the $5 bucks and let Rudolph fly... I'll pay you a buck to read the critique if it's returned... Geo

!!!!!!Well it is certainly a "diverse version!" - possibly not exactly what they're looking for but I don't think the Screener would boot you out of Taxi for it!!!

[matto]

It's funny but it misses the listing's criteria.It's a novelty version not a "commercial version". Musically they are specifically focusing on "Jazz, Swing, Latin, Salsa and Pop". Yours is none of these. Honestly I think the chances of a forward for this particular listing are slim.But I'm sure your grandson enjoys the song! Btw...if you think you would get booted of Taxi for submitting this, you have no idea of some of the...uhm...let's just say "smelly" stuff some people are submitting... matto

Well I'd play this song for my child - if I had one!!!! I agree with Matto - I don't think it's what they're looking for, but keep this song because somewhere down the line someone will be looking for humorous songs....

oh man this would probably make children very happy not sure if I would like my child imitating this.That last fart sounded like it would be his last.

Thanks everyone. I guess It is obvious that I am desperate to get out my first submission. Haven't laughed that heard in yeas as I was making it. Had to stop many times and get a grip. Everyone here is pretty serious about their music, I thought this might make a few folks smile. Paul

COMMERCIAL VERSIONS OF CHRISTMAS SONGS in ALL STYLES (except Rock or traditional/classical versions)I dunno, isn't novelty a style? They list Rock, traditional/cassical as styles... They aren't looking for any traditional-sounding arrangements, just imaginative and diverse versions of well-known Christmas songs.I wouldn't say it's a traditional I would say it's imaginative and diverse.....it's worth a shot...

Feaker.I say "you only live once" And it'll cost ya 5 bucks. Do it! It won't break the bank.It's funny. Kids will love it cause it's boarderline rude & cheecky to them. But it also part of being a human (dear???)It seems to me that no-one ever knows what the client is looking for anyway so take the chance & don't think about it too much.CheersZoltan.

It's always important to read the listing as a whole and make sure the song meets ALL criteria...But hey it's not my 5 bucks...
