For a while I've been posting these rambling daydreams on my SongRamp page beginning with the words, "wouldn't it be cool if". For example:
Well, one day a friend of mine from SongRamp wrote to me, "wouldn't it be cool if you wrote a song called, 'Wouldn't It Be Cool'! So I did, and here are the lyrics.
Click the link below to hear the song.
Wouldn�t it be cool
Wouldn�t be cool
Wouldn�t be cool
Wouldn�t it be cool
Wouldn�t be cool
Wouldn�t it be cool
And wouldn�t it be cool
Harmonica Break
Wouldn�t it be cool
Wouldn�t it be cool
�2006 David Elon Preston
"Wouldn't it be cool if my wife was having a tupperware party at our house and I was upstairs playing guitar with the dog howling next to me and one of the ladies said, "that's an interesting noise, like let me call my nephew Aaron who's filming a movie about werewolves", and Aaron said, "like have Dave and his dog record a song and we'll put the song in the movie", and then they decided to put me and my dog in the movie TOO and before you knew it we both were up for Oscars?" 
If in my sleepy little town
A roadie for James Taylor
Stopped to look around
If it turned out that same day
That he walked into the coffee shop
And happened to hear me play
If his toes tapped to my beat
And after I was finished
He said, �There�s someone you should meet�
If half an hour away
James Taylor and his touring bus
Was stopping for the day
If we pulled up in my car
And his roadie popped the trunk lid
And pulled out my guitar
If we all sat down to jam
And our harmonies fit perfectly
Like honey on a ham
If James said, �Call me Jim�
And he asked if I�d be willing
To sing on stage with him
If I called up work next day
And told them I was quitting
�Just send me my back pay�
If in my sleepy little town
A roadie for James Taylor
Stopped to look around
