NSFW Challenge: PUBLIC DOMAINLiner Notes
OK so technically all the lyrics are innocuous
but yeah this is a lewd song
I’ll hopefully get a proper demo in over the weekend, but this is in the style of a 1930s Jazz club tune, with fingersnaps throughout. I apologize in advance.
Lyrics
I just want to be free use I just want to be public domain Put me in your hands and remix me Show me off forever and don’t be constrained
I don’t want to be held back suffocating stagnant and stalled how am I s’posed to be growing when I’m locked in these colorless walls
ownership is just nonsense everything wants to be free just because we started together doesn’t mean that’s the only way we can be
let me out into the world now see what other people can do after they’re tired you may be re-inspired and create something utterly new
So I just want to be free use I just want to be public domain Flip me upside-down and remix me Scramble everything that was inside of my brain
I’ll never complain

Yes a bit lewd, but the lyrics are shrewd. Well put together.

Nice! I like the point of view of the artifact. Depending on the delivery, I think it could be delightfully lewd!

Ohhhh... So the pieces we create don't fall into public domain. They just reache the age of adulthood when they can consent to things they would never have done with their creator(s) ! Everything in the lyrics fits with a swing orchestra: the vocabulary turning from sophisticated to casual, the sassy humor and the sexual subtext. It could be accomodated with a garage rock sound too, but it would be way less funny and way more lewd, I suppose.
