I think this next song started, just this morning, as “Pop Song Wannabee” then morphed into “Pop Star Wannabee with a Pop Song Reject” and, finally, stealing a title from a mix CD I made for friends a couple of years back, “Pop Start.” Here are the initial lyrics and a link to just me singing the initial idea:

Pop Start

I may be too old
To get my pop start

If I play a pop song
And there aren’t any listeners
Will it still hit?

Nobody’s spinning it
Not a one
It has no number
On the jukebox or chart

Does it have to be Popular
To pop?

3 minutes or less
With a sha la la
Or an ooh, ooh wheee
If this/that isn’t pop
What is?
