One of the first musical numbers in my TV show "Neon: The Red Light District"
Sang by an anthropomorphic beagle who is also a TV show host :3.
This is the instrumental. Composed on iPhone 13 - Garageband.

Television tension - original song

Tap your feet to a catchy beat
Sing along with the words across the screen
Lock your gaze to my presence on your TV
What’s the point if nobody’s watching me?
Just abandon the world you know
And let me sway you side to side to and fro
If you just can’t achieve your goals
Then the television knows where you can go
Are you watching?
Game show hosting
Are you watching
Please don’t go
Reboots flood the network
Cash grab!
Wanna watch a drunk do rehab?
What’s the point of this attention?
It’s too much, this TV tension
Answer questions win a reward
But don’t join in, what are you here for?
I can’t rest and my voice is hoarse
I’ll see you next on channel four!
All the stress is enough to break
But what’s the point in a show if there’s no give and take?
Just remember to wear your smile
Cause the audience knows we’re gonna be a while
Question / answer
My hands are tied
Can’t phone a friend because my brain’s also fried
As the audience goes on wild
I know you all don’t wanna touch the dial
Keep your eyes on me
Lock your gaze to the screen
What is it you see?
Attention’s what I need
Till the sign off sounds
I’ll always be around
Needs to be a while
Before you touch that dial
Sweat drips across stressful dotted lines
And the audience knows I’m selling them a lie
And it’s hard to do this but it’s for my life
And the income’s low but it’s what I need to survive
Need to hide from rumours from the press
And they’re taking everything that I have left
As my life will shatter my career will bloom
But it’s hard to do that if I never leave
My room
Keep your eyes on me
Lock your gaze to the screen
What is it you see?
Attention’s what I need
Till the sign off sounds
I’ll always be around
Needs to be a while
Before you touch that dial
Keep your eyes on me
Lock your gaze to the screen
This is all I’ll be
A character for you to see
There’s no way to go
The spotlight’s all I know
So please let me go
Cause for now? No more show
Are you watching?
Game show hosting
Are you watching
Please don’t go
Are you watching?
Game show hosting
Are you watching
Please don’t go
