Need some help with a band I want to start

[ScarfaceOne 263]

OK, so I want to start a band, problem is, I can't really come up with original material. And what I am thinking is rewriting an original song with some new lyrics but keeping the original song in there, with the original lyrics as well, mixed with another song in my band. It's not Plagiarism if I say to the crowd and on the Album that it is not my original work? Also, do not ban this, this is a Plagiarism debate and some help for my band, not a Piracy forum, as Piracy is illegal here on MLPForums, anyone who talks about pirating music will thoroughly be reported to administrators. Anyway, my band's name is going to be called the Friendly Roman Countrymen, and it may take a year for me to start it so go easy on me. I'm trying to make a song based on ''Surrender me'' from Air Combat 22, about a Ski-Slope of love, if I say that it's not really original then I won't get sued, right? I need help with lyrics about a Ski-Slope of love, about a man who goes down the ski-slope with his love interest and it escalates higher and higher the more they go down the slope. But I need it written in a way that's not ''Sappy''. As people hate Sappy music.

Like I said, it's not plagiarism if I state that it's not an entirely original song right? And If I tell them who the true creators were? Or do I say it was half original? I need some help, I'm not recruiting anyone at the moment, and I don't want to recruit anyone on these forums, so if you can just help me, share with me your experiences of being in a band and tell me more about plagiarism, then it would help. Thanks.

Forgot to say I need Ideas on this ''Ski Slope of love'' song that are not sappy. Don't people hate sappy music?

 

 

I'm as patient as a badger. Just waiting for someone who has ideas, that's all. Remember this is not a piracy thread, as piracy is illegal on the forums.

I dont know anything about bands, but with remixes you must tell people in no uncertain terms and even in the title usually its from a well known band, if your not very big then sometimes people wont notice but as / if you grow people will and it will cause a massive headache.

What do you mean by Uncertain Terms? Do you mean that I tell people and never keep it a secret(which should be done, thanks) or words that don't mean anything?

Waiting, I'm as patient as a badger. So I guess I will just stay here.

As patient as a badger, but Still need to know the meaning of Uncertain Terms.

Why not make parodies? People do it all the time.

It's not a parody, it's an actual song. The point I'm trying to get across here is that if I claim that it was not my original work and who it was influenced by, then it's not plagiarism right? Also, I still do not know by what Galahad mean't by ''Uncertain Terms''.

If you're using someone elses songs as your music for something that's not a parody, that kinda defeats the point of original music. It's also illegal. You'll get sued. You'll have to deal with endless legalese BS, and your audience will just go listen to the artists you're stealing off instead.

 

You're going to have to either write your own stuff, or get really good at parody.

Yes, but if I claim that it's not original, then it's not illegal right?

I heard if I cite my sources then It's not plagiarism. Ensuring some of the citations with the original rights holders works as well.
