simple, just provide me with all the info about the subject\/individual\/business etc and the style of music that you would like and I&#8217;ll write the song for you.<\/p>\n<p>It can be a hilariously embarrassing birthday roast, sappy love song, practical joke, impractical joke, marriage proposal, vow renewal, break-up, divorce or even a fun revenge song. It&#8217;s a great custom made gift for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, graduation or funeral \/ memorial service. Or a unique way to send a special message; congratulations on your new job, congratulations on your new boob job, get well soon, I&#8217;m sorry I ran over your cat with my lawnmower, I love you, I hate you, hey, you still owe me that $500 from that time you got drunk and punched a circus clown in Tijuana and I had to bail you out of jail, or whatever you may want or need.<\/p>\n<p>We even offer a fun theme song service which is usually a 30 second piece that can be about anyone or anything, (you, your love thing, your ex-love thing, friends, family, pets, body parts, political candidates, football rivalry, slanderous joke, bosses appreciation before annual review, ex-bosses &#8220;appreciation&#8221; after you were fired etc) (Check out &#8220;Rabs&#8221; below as a theme song example.)<\/p>\n<p>Commercial uses can apply as well; for example a business commercial, promotional piece (thanks for doing business with us, or please consider doing business with us etc), or whatever you may need.<\/p>\n<p>We can record your song in a pro studio with a full band or do a simple version with acoustic guitar and vocal and send you a copy in CD and mp3 format. Or if you are in LA, (or have a serious budget with travel expenses) we can perform it live at your event.<\/p>\n<p>A personal message with your voice (including friends and family) can be included as an introduction. Or if you are in the area or have a digital recorder, broadband and a little talent, sing it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a truly unique gift that they will always remember. (Many people have said that this was the &#8220;best gift they have ever received&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>*All songs are certified Organic, non-GMO, free-range, gluten-free and are never tested on animals&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1721\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/songco\/songcotext\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?fit=1360%2C328\" data-orig-size=\"1360,328\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"songcotext\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?fit=300%2C72\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?fit=640%2C154\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1721\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?resize=300%2C72\" alt=\"songcotext\" width=\"300\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?resize=300%2C72 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?resize=1024%2C246 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?w=1360 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bretthouston.com\/creations\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/songcotext.jpg?w=1280 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Rates and Services<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are 2 options.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create a personalized song using any existing song in the catalog as a backing track, with fresh new lyrics and vocal track.

Although it&#8217;s best to have a few weeks for the process, for best results, when you consider everything involved.<\/p>\n<p>If we do a song from scratch with full backing band, it could take one week minimum and it is best to have at least a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This also depends on how full my schedule is at the time. I have completed songs in as little as one day, but that often involves rush charges and canceling everything else on my schedule..<\/p>\n<p>You also need to consider the approval process, I typically take the info that you give me and write a sketch lyric that I will send to you for approval. Depending on how many people are involved with approving the lyrics that could take 5 minutes or 5 days. It is best in that case to designate one person to be in charge of that process.<\/p>\n<p>Also, consider the information gathering period, that special time where you compile a list of everything that you want to say with your song. Or for example, if it is a &#8220;roast&#8221;, a list comprising all of their most embarrassing moments; depending on the subject, this could take days&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:
