Brian responded to my notes on his rap demo, everybody. And guess what?

He liked my advice!!!

I have to say, I was not expecting this. I figured my advice was so insanely brilliant and ahead-of-its-time that he’d realize he must have had the wrong email address and respond with either confusion or anger. In fact, when he didn’t respond for a few days, I figured he must have realized his error himself and simply re-sent it to the right guy.

But the Alex he’s collaborating with is evidently the sort who would say “Get that Pixar money, man” and mean it! Now, usually I would let him know at this point that I’m not the right person, and I’d apologize for messing around. And I was about to do that. I really was.

But that was before I read that evidently I am supposed to be providing a verse to this song.

So, uh…

Here’s my verse. I hadn’t realized just how awful my advice was until I decided to take it myself. (If you haven’t read the first post yet, read it now. Otherwise it will make no sense whatsoever.)

Starlight (Alex’s Verse) by Alex Nichols

Pretty ill, right? At this point, I almost want my verse to make it onto the final version of the song without him knowing it. I just fear that he’ll think it’s too good and start to get suspicious. He hasn’t replied yet, so I’ll keep you loyal readers posted! (Lyrics after the jump!)

UPDATE: Brian replies again. Plus, a music video!

Here are the lyrics in case I was spitting too much fire for you to handle with your mortal ears:

(I’m)

Going infinity and beyond

And beyond all these haters that said I was just a peon

Cuz now I am a king, kinda like the Kings of Leon / except I do not sing

I bust rhymes about IKEA

Unlike their shelves

I can put my words together

About how Woody and Buzz are like two birds of a feather

And how I am scared of ghosts cuz they are spooky as

Hello Operator, I’m the most “scared of ghosts” kind of fellow, I

Know my fear’s dumb, it’s as clear to me as bytes and bits

But to be honest I don’t even really give a [biscuit]

Because I’m on a spaceship

About to launch, doing whatever you do to

Make a spaceship launch

I see these faces on the TV

And I really wanna know about these strangers like me

Mikey really likes Life

But I love it

So I take off in this spaceship and rise above it

Maraca solo…

Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Indeed. (etc.) Rest in Peace, Randy Newman.
