SO...

YOU'RE IN A BAND, YOU PLAY THE TRUMPET, THE GUITAR, OR YOU'RE A LEAD SINGER WITHOUT ANY FOLLOWERS... OR YOU DATE A DRUMMER, YOUR BROTHER PRACTICES IN THE BASEMENT, OR YOUR BEST FRIEND IS IN A KISS TRIBUTE BAND...

WHATEVER THE CASE... DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA? A WEBCAM? OR A MICROPHONE AND WAY TO RECORD?

HERE'S THE CONTEST...

GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!
MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO (OF THE THEME SONG) FOR RMD!

WE DON'T CARE IF IT'S YOU AND YOUR ULTRA-FAMOUS BUDS ON STAGE IN FRONT OF 40,000 SCREAMING FANS, YOUR MARCHING BAND IN THE SCHOOL'S REHEARSAL ROOM, YOUR STRING QUARTET ON A SUNDAY MORNING IN THE TOWN SQUARE, YOU RAPPING ON A STREET CORNER OUTSIDE A LIQUOR STORE, YOUR GARAGE BAND SINGING IN YOUR GARAGE, OR YOU ALONE...

THE IMPORTANT THING IS...
YOU RECORD IT...

RECORD WHAT?

A SHORT PARODY OF "GOOD GIRLS DON'T..." BY THE KNACK.
ONLY USING THE WORDS...
"REAL MEN DON'T...
REAL MEN DON'T...
REAL MEN DON'T...
BUT I DO... (WHICH IS, AND CAN BE REPEATED) "

THEN WHAT?

THEN LET US KNOW YOU DID IT, AND WHERE WE CAN FIND IT...

PUT IT ON-LINE, ON YOUR WEBSITE, OR ONE OF THE MANY FILE SHARING SITES.... WHERE EVER!

THEN WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO DISPLAY YOUR VIDEO ON OUR SITE, OR AT VERY LEAST, TRY TOLINK TO IT SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN WATCH IT...

WHAT YOU GET

WORLD WIDE PUBLIC EXPOSURE.

WE'LL ALSO TRY TO LINK TO YOUR BAND'S WEBSITE, YOUR BAND'S MYSPACE ACCOUNT... WHATEVER LINK YOU ASK US TO LINK TO.

WHAT WE GET

THE RIGHT TO USE THE MUSIC UNDER POSSIBLE FUTURE RMD EPISODES, AND/OR TO PLAY OR LINK TO THE VIDEO OR SONG ON OUR WEBSITE OR FUTURE RMD VENTURES... WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO GIVE CREDIT WITH EACH USAGE. WE ALSO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TRIM THE MUSIC IF WE USE IT UNDER A VIDEO, OR IN A BUMPER, IN ORDER FOR IT TO FIT TO OUR IMAGES.
