Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I give a song as a gift?
A: Two ways: (1) Write your friend a song, maybe even a theme song all about the person! You just have to come up with some lyrics, and we'll take care of the rest. (2) If your friend is a poet (or something like it), pre-pay for a song for your friend, and we'll send you a gift certificate so your friend can send us lyrics him/herself.

Q: If I buy sheet music, do I have to buy a recording too?
A: No. You can go for a recording, sheet music, or both. The recorded version will not necessarily be the same arrangement as the sheet music.

Q: Do you re-use melodies?
A: Oh noooo! Every customer gets an original song.

Q: Can I have a female singer in my song?
A: Yes, for an extra $30.

Q: Can you give me an instrumental mix so I can sing it like kareoke?
A: Yes. This extra mix is free, if you tell us ahead of time that you'll want one.

Q: What will become of this business if the site becomes really popular?
A: We'd enlist a few close friends of ours to write some of the songs, and the prices would probably get higher. The quality of the songs would increase or stay the same. This is only fun to us if we make the songs really good.

Q: Can I submit lyrics that I did not write?
A: If you would like to submit lyrics you did not write, you must either pay the extra $125.00 for us to not submit the song into the Public Domain, or you must prove the lyrics are not copyrighted. (Such proof is very difficult.) Unfortunately, we cannot submit a song into the Public Domain if it contains lyrics that are copyrighted.

Q: I'm nervous my poetry isn't good enough.
A: Nonsense.

Q: I'm still wondering about something not asked here.
