Pedro Pascal says a residual check for ‘BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER’ saved him from going homeless when he only had $7 in his bank account.

“It literally is the reason I was able to stay in acting and not give up.”

My crazy dream is to compose a dumb but catchy song like la Macarena or something like that, and get to receive those sweet royalty checks for the next 50 years

"born to be alive" dreamlife

[freakative]

i haven't heard or thought about that song in years. it's gonna be stuck in my head all day now lol

I think your best bet would be to write a novelty Christmas song. They only come around once a year so people don't get sick of them the way they do regular dumb songs. Plus, then you can license it for Christmas toys.

now what you should really do is write a novelty song for a holiday other than Christmas... look at how "Party in the USA" became the de facto 4th of July song, or hell, "It's Gonna Be Me" on April 30 lol

write something for April Fool's Day... Labor Day... the possibilities are endless

if you write a good song about trees you could get paid on arbor day *and* 4/20

St. Patrick's Day. white Americans are obsessed with their Irish lineage, it would sell like crazy

[insomniachobs]

Nah, you still want Christmas because you'll get a solid month of repeats out of that lol

Noddy Holder from Slade apparently makes £500k every year from “I wish it could be Christmas every Day” which is basically on repeat in the UK in December.

Like Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy!

A friend of a friend cowrote a song that was a huge Billboard hit in the 90s and he has said many times that the money he made from that song (and still makes) allowed him financial freedom.
