One time I tried to write a screenplay for a movie called "Vampires in Space." It was a sweet idea (by idea I mean a sweet title with absolutely no idea or story to use), and I knew nothing about writing screenplays.
I tried to fake it by putting notes like CLOSE UP ON YOUNG DRAC'S TEETH in capital letters. I realized I was a fraud, and started watching TV.
Since I missed my shot at Hollywood glory due to a lack of industry know how, I figured I'd try to latch on to your idea. I think there should be a 12 drink minimum/Nick Neaton Calabo on the soundtrack.
It could be one of those songs that didn't even get played in the movie, so I wouldn't be taking anything away from what you are trying to do. You'd also get some satisfaction from the fact that I could tell people that I was a singer/songwriter.
You could always add me into the movie if you don't want me to mess up the soundtrack. When the hero is ready to give up on love, and finds the most awful bar imaginable, I could be playing a solo gig with an out of tune guitar. The hero could make the audience laugh during a monologue where he talks about "knowing your life is pathetic when you are listening to a guy who got kicked out of a band called 12 drink minimum."
As soon as the monologue was finished, there would be a camera shot of me slamming my guitar down and screaming “Bitches be trippin!!!” while a bouncer with his chin pierced is dragging me out of the bar.
Sorry to waste everybody's time with my comment.

PS- If you want the rights to Vampires in space, you can have them.
