The Hollywood Temp Diaries Tabernacle Choir presents: "Accounts Receivable"

I can't tell you how many times I've been walking down the street when some random passerby yells from his 1982 Camaro, "Geez, Temp X. I love your site. And I really love the songs you write. But I want to hear it, not just read it. Is there anything you can do for me?"

Of course there is.

Today I offer the first of what will hopefully be many (provided I don't get sued and can get more free studio time) musical numbers as sung by the Hollywood Temp Diaries singers -- James Calvert, Miki Yamashita and Gabe Dell.

Just click on the play button and sing along. If you don't know the lyrics, I've posted them below.




ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
By Temp X

Alphabetizin'
Doin' expenses
Clearly, I'm livin' the Hollywood dream.

Calls I am rollin'
Copyin', Faxin'
Don't tell mom this is what I've become.

Tempin' away my life in Accounts Receivable
Wondering why I even have a B.A.
Some people claim that it's Hollywood to blame
But I know, it's cause I have hope.

I don't know the reason
It's past pilot season
I didn't get cast to work on a show.

Why aren't I related
To Brian Grazer?
It would sure be better for my acting career.

Wastin' away my life in Accounts Receivable
Wondering why I even have a B.A.
Some people claim that it's Hollywood to blame
Now I think...I need bigger boobs.

I saw it on Craigslist
Acting only for credits
Just what I need, more deferred pay.

My landlord's been askin'
Why did my check bounce.
I told him Endeavor pays 9 bucks an hour.

Tempin' away my life in Accounts Receivable
Wondering why I even have a B.A.
Some people claim that it's Hollywood to blame
But I know, I'm givin' up hope.

Yes and some people claim that it's Hollywood to blame
And I know, it's my own damn fault.
