soundtrack for a teen prom movie

Part four! Getting into the dirty pieces, the ones you wouldn’t pick up if you saw them on the street. This is soundtrack to a teen prom movie, and it’s a mix of words and music based around brothers Mouth and Throat’s adventures at the prom. Mouth makes a bet that not only can he transform geek dream Alexis Cobweb into Prom Queen in one week, he can keep her from setting anything on fire during prom night!

mouth: I bet I can! I bet she won’t strike a single match all prom night, from the time I pick her up to the time I drop her home!
throat: Deal. But if she sets fire to anything, whether it’s the school or a cigarette, I get your braces.
mouth: I need them for my defective mouth.
throat: Are you a chicken?
mouth: All right, deal. But if she doesn’t light a fire all night, I get your name. I’ll be Throat and you can be Mouth.

jesus I found this by typing ‘prom brothers’ into Google Image search. Bad times.

Now this is important: I have several other mixes up my sleeve (including Music for an epidemic and Music to hit animals to), but I really want to start building some new pieces out of sampled material. Obviously I can harvest the Enid Blyton novels I have lying around (see Trench becomes supermarket) or hijack existing work by writers I know without asking (see Be the assassin), but it would be ten thousand times cooler for any sound artists, musicians, poets or writers to throw me some stuff to sample. I’d like that. How would you feel about it? DO IT.
