UPBEAT, FLIRTY, CONTEMPORARY SONGS with a GROOVE and FEMALE VOCALS needed by boutique Film/TV Publisher for a new adult-themed show on a highly-rated cable network. Best examples can be found on the album "I Find You Very Attractive" by Touch and Go and the song "Magic Tree" by Kirstin Price. We're not talking sleaze here, but sophisticated, fun, uptempo tracks that are playfully seductive in the vocals and lyrics. Genres can vary so long as the music makes us wanna move. Rhythm foundations can draw from funk, jazz or latin lounge; rock rhythms are a less likely choice. The women in this show are not victims, but confident, creative 'free-thinkers' and your vocals should reflect this side with charm and slight attitude. Imagine what a party at the Playboy Mansion might sound like! Real horns preferred. If you are using samples, make sure they're up-to-date and resonate with warmth. Cheesy synth tracks will not make the cut! Lyrics should contain NO EXPLETIVES, NO OVERT SEXUAL REFERENCES. You must own or control 100% of your master recording and composition. BROADCAST QUALITY ONLY (excellent home recordings will be fine). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened by the owner of the company on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Wednesday, May 4, 2011. TAXI #Y110504HC

Lyrics

Body Language
(An Excercise In Excessive Sampling Abuse)
By Bruce Bergh

You are such a sweet talker baby
But your words don't mean a thing
I need someone I can trust
Not someone to keep me on a string
Relax, take it easy. Be yourself baby.
That's what being friends is about
Don't be afraid to lose your inhabitions
Come on, baby, let it all out

Give me some body language, baby
I want to hear your body talkin' to me
Lay some body language on me baby
Keep it talkin', talkin' to me.

This sophisticated game that your trying to perfect
May enhance your sex appeal
But I'm looking for something more than "facade"
I need to know that you are real
So don't be shy, be my natural guy
Feel free to do what you need to do
Give it your best shot, give it all you've got
And know you'll get the same from me too

Give me some body language, baby
I want to hear your body talkin' to me
Lay some body language on me baby
Keep it talkin', talkin' to me.

SOLO

Give me some body language, baby
I want to hear your body talkin' to me
Lay some body language on me baby
Keep it talkin', talkin' to me.

Give me some body language, baby
I want to hear your body talkin' to me
Lay some body language on me baby
Keep it talkin', talkin' to me.
