Steve Moramarco's Graveyard of Rejected Songs

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to submit original material to varous artists and projects. These were all rejected, but you can love them forever, here.

If anyone would like an original composition or to use any of these songs, please let me know!

Sesame Street was looking for a 35th anniversary song, and Bug Music asked me to write and submit a tune. I submitted Hooray For Sesame Street! Matt Taylor played all the instruments and recorded it at his home in Brooklyn!

"Hooray for Sesame Street"

I was told Brian Setzer was looking for material - I wrote License to Thrill!, which I thought was corny and rockin' enough for him. With Sneaky Pete on vocal. Arrangement by Dan West of Aguafantastica!

"License to Thrill"

"The Outdoors" - a pilot TV show about a group of sexy hikers, wanted a humorous hoedown-type of theme. I submitted The Outdoors. That's David Markowitz from Hill of Beans on fiddle!

"The Outdoors"

I am still trying to get some female country star to record Double Cross and take it straight to the top of the charts. It was originally written for The Geraldine Fibbers. Here is a feisty female vocal version, recorded by Michele Lawrence.

"Double Cross"

Harry Connick, Jr. rejected Cosmopolitan Girl, a hip "swing pop" tune.

"Cosmopolitan Girl"

For "School of Rock" I submitted this song for the final number that the kids perform - Jack Black rejected it. Lyrics by Mike White.

"School of Rock"

"Robot Bastard" was the name of a short comedy film. I just liked the title, so I wrote this theme song, which was never used.

"Robot Bastard"

This song was inspired by the play Clever by Eric Meyer, which I co-starred in a 2002 production in NYC. Technically, this song was used, but only briefly for the curtain call. Lyrics by Eric Meyer.

"Clever Kids"

I can't remember who was looking for some '20s-sounding music, but this little instrumental , Nosiree, is the result. Nevertheless, it wasn't used.

"Nosiree"
