Ashley's Beauty Channel

She's looking into the mirror 
feeling halfway pleased
Her shirt from Abercrombie 
is looking really neat
She puts on her lipstick 
and make-up onto her face
Without those beauty products 
she feels like a disgrace

She's sitting down in front 
of her computer feeling bizarre
The red light of the webcam 
is brighter than planet Mars
She puts on her happy face 
ready to greet the world
Pretending to be a webstar 
instead of a small town girl

Ashley's beauty channel 
will tell you what you need to know
Ashley's beauty channel 
it's yet unknown but it will grow
Watch it on Youtube become a fan

There's one thing she knows for sure 
though it's not written in any books
If you want to make it 
you've gotta take care for your looks
She uploads her video 
and starts to feel a stitch
She hopes none of her viewers 
will call her an ugly witch

Ashley's beauty channel 
will tell you what you need to know
Ashley's beauty channel 
it's yet unknown but it will grow
Watch it on Youtube become a fan

This song for free on Jamendo.

When watching Youtube videos, you almost inevitably stumble upon beauty channels: Very earnest teenage girls are presenting beauty products and giving make-up advices just as if they were paid for it by the cosmetics industry. It's funny but at the same time sad, as many YouTubers love to write hateful comments, calling these girls ugly who try so hard to be make this world a more beautiful place inhabited by nothing but good-looking people. In terms of music, I tried to write a tune like the early songs of Elvis Costello, a musician I adore very much.
