Thank you, folks. I have enough material to do a series of spots! I appreciate your suggestions.
“It’s so Easy” by Guns and Roses
“Eazy Duz It” by Eazy-E
Whoops… I didn’t catch that bit about them not being offensive. Scratch both of these then.
Max Carnage:
For the record, that other guy is Philip Bailey. And all I know of his musical career is that he sang that song with Phil Collins.
Bailey was lead singer of Earth, Wind & Fire.
One thats always in my head - Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles
Living is easy with your eyes closed… Misunderstanding all you see
Another one that doesn’t have “Easy” in the title – Joe Jackson’s Instant Mash off the “Look Sharp” album.
Easy Money by Billy Joel
What they want is a radio ad that’s patterned after the '70s break-in record, “Mr. Jaws” by Dickie Goodman. I haven’t seen the copy yet, but it’ll be an announcer sounding as though he’s asking people questions about the product or service, and the reply will be a short clip of the song saying “(it’s…) easy…” and then cut to the next one. I need to be able to edit that part of the song out without it sounding really strange. Most of your suggestions will work, so thanks again for the help.
Easy Money–Lowell George (Rickie Lee Jones wrote it)
“The easier it looks, the harder it hooks.
There ain’t no such thing as easy money.”
In Who Do You Love, done by countless musicians, it’s not about low effort.
“Easy, Eileen, don’t give me no lip.”
Jethro Tull Nothing is Easy
Ringo Starr is singing in my brain right now: “It don’t come easy”.
Would Charlie Daniels’ “Uneasy Rider” count?
“Make It Easy on YOurself” The Walker Brothers
AIR - “You Make It Easy”
From Moon Safari
Easy by Cowboy Mouth (the greatest band you’ve never heard of).
'Easy to bitch, Easy to whine
Easy to moan, Easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain’t nothing in your life"
If you do “Easy Street” do the Edgar Winter version. It abso-fucking-lutely kicks ass.
Aw. I guess Anal Cunt’s classic song is right out, then?
Oh, yeah – Little River Band’s “Take it Easy on Me”.
Bobe Dylan’s “You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere”
