A song written for my friend
A song for a friend does not have to be sentimental. Often the funniest version is the best one, because friendship usually speaks in jokes. Put in a running gag, a nickname or the story you always retell, and the song becomes yours.
What to put in the song
- 1The nickname you gave them and where it came from.
- 2The story you have been retelling for years.
- 3The thing they always do that everyone knows about.
- 4One serious line you want to slip in between the jokes.
What tone works
Energy is welcome here. Hip hop, funk and rock carry humour well, and a faster tempo helps when the content is funny. Leaving one serious line at the end makes a comic song land far harder than expected.

Common questions
Can I ask for a funny song?
Yes. Say in the intent box that you want it funny, and if you include the joke itself it goes into the lyrics.
Can it be for a whole group of friends?
Yes. You can list several names, though past three or four the lyrics start to lose focus, so it helps to pick the main ones.
Can I try it for free?
The free plan gives you songs every month and asks for no card. It is not a timed trial; you can stay on it as long as you like.
