Music And Lyrics Page #3

Okay. Here's the snag--

We also wanna put the song

on her new CD...

...which is pretty much finished,

so we need it by Friday.

-This Friday?

-Yeah, but don't feel any pressure.

We've got seven other retro artists

working on ''Way Back lnto Love'' ...

...so if you blow it, we're covered.

Mr. Fletcher,

don't look at this as a competition.

lf it's meant to be, it will be.

lt's destiny.

Yes.

Or not.

Okay.

l can't possibly write a song by Friday.

What could she be thinking of?

All right. Look, look,

can l be honest with you?

You're my manager.

l would have to fire you.

We need this.

Let's not be desperate.

We have the state fairs, Knott's Berry Farm.

They've canceled.

Knott's Berry canceled?

Look. We're still on

for the lndiana State Fair, okay?

But Texas and Arkansas dropped us.

-The Apple Picking?

-The Apple Picking Festival is a go...

...but Great Adventure only wants

three nights instead of 1 0. All right?

My God. l had no idea.

Why didn't you tell me these things? Why--?

l'm telling-- l'm telling you now.

Alex, it's been 1 5 years since PoP.

There's new old acts

coming up all the time.

Tears for Fears is going on tour.

There's talk of a Spice Girl reunion.

-That's not my audience.

-Ricky Martin.

l'm dead. l'm dead. l'm dead.

l'm finished. l'm finished.

-No, you're not dead.

-l'm gonna wind up doing bar mitzvahs.

No, you're not. Thirteen-year-old kids

have no idea who you are.

Well, that's good to know.

What about you? You might actually

have to take on another client.

Look, don't worry about me. What we gotta

concentrate on is refreshing your image.

Then we'll get Knott's Berry

and Great Adventure. Who knows?

-We might even get Disneyland.

-Don't tease me. l'm very vulnerable.

Tell you something, Alex.

You do a song for Cora...

...and there is a spot for you

in the Magic Kingdom, baby.

Writing a song. l thought l was done

with that whole nightmare.

Just one song.

That's all we need. One song.

But it's so...

...time-consuming, you know?

And l haven't written for 1 0 years.

And l need a lyricist. And it's never worked

with anyone except Colin.

Look, l know it's not easy

to get somebody good this fast...

...but there is this guy.

Supposedly he's very hip, very edgy.

He just worked with Avril.

l'm sorry. l'm so sorry.

l'm just a bit blocked here.

lf you don't like the lyrics,

be straight with me.

No, no, no, no.

The lyrics are very, very powerful.

Maybe you want something

more commercial? More PoP-y?

Just hold that thinly veiled insult

for one second.

-Hello.

-Hey.

-Khan said l could just come up?

-They were able to save the whole hand.

l know. l made too big a deal out of it.
