Story Behind The Song

I just got Broadjam's e-mail 3 days ago, so I had just a short time to write the song and come up with music. I intended to add drums and bass guitar, but I just ran out of time. I also apologize for the bad singing, a few tempo problems and the guitar pitch variations. I just didn't have any time to fix or improve anything before the deadline. I do think the song is catchy and would work well for the intended audience. It definitely needs to be cleaned up and worked on though! This song would have been pretty good had I had another day or two (and another singer!)

Song Description

I wrote the song in response to the following Broadjam e-mail: Uplifting, positive contemporary Pop/Adult Contemporary songs for an upcoming campaign promoting a new line of delicious, healthy, ready-to-eat entrées. The message the company is portraying is that eating delicious meals no longer means hours of cooking and cleaning or settling for unhealthy or expensive take out. More time for doing what matters. A professional couple is shown preparing and interacting with each other at the dinner table. The music should enhance the message in the commercial. Vocals and instrumentals accepted.

Lyrics

Well you want your food
and you want it fast
and now you've got it.

Well it has to be good.
You want to eat well.
And now you've got it.

Well let's sit right down
and have a good meal.
That's quick to cook at a budget price,
real food at a deal.

But we're busy! WHATEVER!
Let's spend some time together.
Let's eat a tasty dinner
yah our family's the winner.

Our time spent together
well that sets us apart.
You and me live happily
and a meal is a start.

So take a chair, let go of our cares
and have a fine, tasty meal.
Real food at a bargain price
Now that's a good deal.

You want your food
and you want it fast
and now you've got it.

Yah it has to be good.
You want to eat well.
And now you've got it.

Yah you want your food
and you want it fast
and now you've------------------------ GOT IT!
