1. Music Video Script
The Video column is for descriptions of visuals and should include camera directions,
transition descriptions and anything else visually important. You can also insert graphics to
better illustrate or storyboard the script.
The Audio column is for narration, and music and audio f/x descriptions and direction. The
narration should be clearly distinguished from the audio notes (usually the narration in each
scene begins with NARR: and the other audio notes are in parentheses or italics, or a
different color). The point is to make the narration easy enough to spot that the narration
can be read without requiring the reader to search through confusing text. The Audio
column is also set to 1.5 spacing – this leaves room for notes.

I'm through with standin' in
lines to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the
ninth and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an
episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play
baseball in
And a king size tub
Big enough for ten plus me
(Yeah, so what you need?)
I need a a credit card that's
got no limit

My own star on Hollywood
Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher
And James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big
rockstars
And live in hilltop houses,
drivin' fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the
drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we
just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the
coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna
wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her
bleach blond hair
And well, hey, hey, I wanna be a
rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis
without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love
to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha,

I'm gonna dress my ass with the
latest fashion
Get a front door key to the
Playboy mansion
