about

Upcoming singer/songwriter Miles Neptune gets the chance of a lifetime when business cowboy MGR offers him a contract that will make him a star. Every choice Miles makes is influenced by his manipulative Shadow and headstrong manager.

lyrics

Verse 1:

Remember that song with a mournful tune
We jammed last Saturday afternoon?
A little bit funky with a touch of blues.
It made me cry, but it’s a bit taboo

What do you mean? That’s my favorite song!
From the pain in my life is how it was spawned.
I don’t really care if you think I’m wrong
It makes ME feel good when I’m singin’ along

Maybe if you write with a different tone
I can bring you from the bottom up to number one
(I) got Madonna back on top after her sixth kid
All you need is slick production and a music vid

Better take his offer, man, you need saving
This is your shot, your chance is fadin’
You think they wanna hear you sing about pain?
Hey what did you say your name was, again?

Chorus:

I’m tha MGR (wait say it again?)
I’m tha MGR (can you spell it out, plain?)
I’m tha M... G... R… (Let’s ride this gravy train)

He’s tha MGR (come on say my name)
He’s tha MGR (I’ll get you money and fame)
He’s tha M… G… R… (you’ll never be the same)

Verse 2:

Interest in your music this can’t be real!
No one really cares about how we feel
Dumb down the lyrics more for mass appeal
I can make you famous but we gotta make a deal

This mainstream business sure moves fast
You better strike now, opportunities pass
but, jamming like before, man, was such a blast
Time to sell out on your music craft

Chorus:

MGR with miles response:
I’m tha MGR (Big fat cigar)
I’m tha MGR (Ford Mustang Car)
I’m tha M... G... R… (Fender Bass Guitar)

He’s tha MGR (Make’s you a superstar)
He’s tha MGR (endless repertoire)
He’s tha M… G… R… (no one else on par)

Bridge:

Better take his help because our music is a joke and
All the bills are stackin’ up we need a miracle man
You want this right now you're Losing’
playing songs like Randy Numin
What the heck you waiting for you better sign his contract
I’m expecting any minute he will take it all back
Stop this stalling just commit
Fine! I’ll do it!

Chorus:

MGR with Shadow response:
I’m the MGR (I been livin in vain)
I’m the MGR (now it’s time to play the game)
I’m the M...G...R…(musical ball and chain)

He’s the MGR (Just sign right here)
He’s the MGR (no reason to fear)
He’s the M...G...R…(He’ll be our profiteer)
