Unusual By David Snyder
V1
Ain't nobody gonna take this from me I've always known who I wanted to be Ain't nobody gonna tell me my name ain't nobody gonna make feel shame everybody is so up to their games they hate themselves and find somebody to blame So you be proud if you’re a girl or a boy ain't nobody robbing us of our joy
CH:
Cause we're unusual and that's all right we're unusual day and night and it's why it's exactly why it’s why we're gonna fly so high when we wave...goodbye
V2
We’re gonna fly to the edge of the sun History books will explain what we’ve done Don’t need no preachin’ cause I’m perfectly fine I have a heart that’s happy all of the time Don’t need no trophy or a paper degree None of those things can put a label on me So you be happy and just be yourself And I’ll be happy just to wish you well
CH:
Cause we're unusual and that's all right we're unusual day and night and it's why it's exactly why it’s why we're gonna fly so high when we wave…..goodbye
Rideout:
Cause we're unusual and that's all right Cause we're unusual and that's all right Cause we're unusual and that's all right

Yep, Michael Jackson, bit Black And White in the rhythm guitar. Nice positive lyrics, catchy chorus. You manage to surprise once again Good luck for the contest!
Excellent pop song ( with a very "Up" lyric). Love the arrangement and your vocals. I don`t know much about Michael Jackson... this brought up a memory of the Jam`s "That`s Entertainment"... Nice little whoops!
A great non "preachy" message that is well delivered by your vocal and the production (the build is very effective).
Enjoyed it!

I actually took a master class from Michael Jackson's guitar player Jennifer Batten once and she said that he was hands-down the most thoughtful, polite, kind and generous person she had ever met.
She was the biggest nerd in her high school class she said (nerdy glasses, big bulky sweaters and nerdy hair) but Michael watched her audition video and one night her parents called out to her while she was practicing and said she had a call. She asked who it was and they said:
"Michael Jackson. He wants you to go on tour or something."
Then she said, he personally gave her a make-over--clothes, hair, make-up, took her shopping, everything--and transformed her from biggest high school nerd to Rock Guitar Goddess playing Madison Square Garden.
She is a very down to earth lady herself and she said that in spite of the hype, Jackson was the most modest, thoughtful and hard-working person she ever met: but that there was not one note, riff, lighting cue, dance step or physical movement on stage by anyone that he did not create or approve of, down to the millisecond.
It was really eye-opening.
P.S. Just to show Michael Jackson's eye (or ear) for talent, Jennifer went on to become Jeff Beck's musical director, co-writer, album session player, touring player, etc.

Saw the title "Unusual" with David Snyder and thought "No, that can't be". LOL!! The funky guitar may be a bit Jacko but other than that, I would not have made that comparison. However, I love the song!!! Just a great musical and lyrical expedition into the.......unusual. Very, very, very COOL!!! Take care. Greg
Very entertaining and cleverly put together, particularly in the way you've managed to get a maxed-out mix without it sounding over compressed. Period correct!
But one question was this you?? Did you help Sony as they deny three of the songs on Michael Jackson's first posthumous album were recorded by an IMPERSONATOR?? LINK
