Open offer to anyone with a band...

Post by benheck »

I think it would be fun to have a Possumus Woman theme song for the credits of the movie. So what I'm wondering is if anyone with a band would consider creating one for us? 3 minutes long would be fine, preferably hard-rock style.

I'm thinking something similar to the "Snakes on a Plane" song by Cobra Starship...

Anyway, discuss below or email me. I can send a Quicktime version of the movie (since it's practically done with editing) to whomever does it for their song-writing reference.

Due date would be in about 1 month (Oct 24th)... since we seem to be on-track for my targeting finish/release date of Halloween. (Yes, far, far faster than Port Washington)

Some of my lyric ideas (discuss more below!):

Came to a resort hopin' it would be awesome
Instead we all got killed by a giant possum

After you're done listenin' to this song
Please dig me a ditch, 30 feet long...

Thoughts?

Good idea, but I am in no way ready to do anything like that. I can sing though! Hope someone else can!

Right now I have Epic by Faith no More on the credits (or what I've started of the credits) so yeah, something along those lines is cool.

Since I don't care about making this officially "releasable" I've used whatever music throughout, but like the first movie, it's mostly classical (and mostly Mozart) and of course Faith no More.

So metal is cool!

Ooh Ooh!!!

We could form the "Benheck Band"!!

Get somebody on Vocals, Guitars, Bass & Drums (or in HotDog-Cart's case, drums n bass!)

I think that'd be pretty cool! :)

You should ask the Homestar Runner guys to do it.

I like Metallica Man X's idea.

If somebody is willing to lay down some drums than I'll play guitar.

I'm still going to make my own song as well though just in case.
