AN OPEN LETTER TO TONY ORLANDO
June 14, 2011
Tony…How ya’ doin’? I suppose I could have talked to you on the phone or e-mailed you about it, but I wanted to document this in a public forum. You and I have had the advantage as music publishers seeing a song go from the demo stage to number #1 like “TIE A YELLOW RIBBON (“ROUND THE OLD OAK TREE)” in a matter of months and my readers have told me how much they envied that opportunity.
NOW here is everyones chance to see the process in action. Alan O’Day (“UNDERCOVER ANGEL”, which is in the number one movie “SUPER 8”), Sally Stevens, and I just wrote a song about the biggest world phenomenon FACEBOOK…and their over half a billion FACEBOOK FRIENDS!
We didn’t write, however, about the technical aspects of the social network, but about the humanity and the world’s new way of shaking hands!” “I WANNA BE YOUR FACEBOOK FRIEND” directed by Wedigo Watson
Not to rush you, of course, but If you like it and record it in the next 24 hours it could be up on ITunes by the weekend.

Artie cute idea and nice sing a long melody…Now if one could make it more pop/rock and take the kiddy factory out of it, it be great for Tony O…..BDO

Having listened to the song through once, I found myself unepectedly humming the song quite a while llater. Obviously a catchy tune. The lyrics are good and easy to recall, with what for me is a touch of humour/irony. And I can easily imagine; if Tony Orlando imvites his auduence to sing along with him, they are ideally suited for that participation

It has a wonderul simple melody that sticks with you. In my opinion it’s got a good shot!

Artie! This sounds like a hit! Wonderful, fun, great lyrics. Wish Neil Bogart was alive to hear this, he’d grab it in a minute! Let me know if I can do anything to help!
Love,

Artie – I just LOVE the song…it’s so “catchy”- I can’t get it out of my mind!
Good luck with it, & it’s refreshing to hear someone say positive comments about Facebook.

I’ll echo everyone else by saying I think this is a nice catchy tune that one could find themselves singing along with by the second listen, like I did….good luck with it!
