The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHave been thinking about this song. Shaving Cream.
Shaving Cream is a real oldie. Forties.
Was wondering if a clever DU'er or a few could think up some lyrics to make the tag rhyme
"Quarantine?"
Stay safe!

(14,118 posts)the time stamp. That'd hold up in any court. But if you're planning on a parody of Shaving Cream then you need to contact whoever holds the copyright to it and make a deal since if you proceed without
a deal it's an instant court case you'll lose. (I learned this by reading about how Weird Al Yankovic works and the fact that Check Berry sued Brian Wilson and The each Boys years ago for breach of
copyright and won.) So what's the plan?
I hold the copyright to quite a few songs that I wrote, words and music, songs you never heard but
they're mine. Copyright is a pretty simple, straightforward process to apply: provide a request on an
approved application (get applications from The Copyright Office) with text or a cassette/CD/DVD audio recording for music. It sounds pretty involved but it's not.
But now that I think about it that does detract from the simple pleasure of creating something... Thanks for giving me some inspiration...

Still hear it every now and then.
An audience is usually quick to join in the chorus.
Fun song.
