Don't forget to download my songs. They are free and what's better I don't sing on all of them. Quick, easy, cheap:

Disclaimer: I don't make any money when you download these songs. In fact, it costs me money to make them available to you.

Posi-Claimer: Oh, and the songs are genius in a way songs on American Idol are not. Although I have brokered a minor trademark deal or 2 in my time, nothing like the action at the linked article from Variety>/i>, I must admit.
