Voted best Michael Jackson tribute song from the King of Pop’s number one fan club in the world "MJWorld Net". The name of the tune is: "My Cowboy Hats Off to You". The tribute is unique in that it comes from a country perspective. Michael’s mother Katherine used to sing country music to him as a child; C.

Additionally the song has been licensed for use by the Portugese company Biodroid for use in a video game which features the global star soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo; D.

The 80's stadium rock sounding tune “Everyone Loves an Event” was licensed for use in a European cycling video; This country collection includes the following tracks. This is what Dan has to say about the individual tracks: 1. Vitamin U – I spent many years as a Nutritionist in the Washington D.C. area. Every now and then I needed a break from consulting. I came up with this playful, romantic tune during one of those breaks; 2. Small Stuff – A song that lyrically depicts how we sometimes let the little, trivial events of our lives have too much importance; 3. My Friday – A term used to describe a weekday (other than Friday), which precedes someone’s day (s) off. In a nutshell, it’s almost time to party; 4. Love Chills – That cool tingly feeling that runs up and down the spine when we have strong feelings for someone; 5. I’ll Tell God You Said Hi – Kids can say the darndest things. The title phrase and compelling storyline will touch you; 6. Lovin’ Large – A play on the phrase “Livin’ Large”. It’s about a family loving large in the country; 7. Heart Condition – Initially when reading this phrase, your thoughts might center around the physical condition of the heart. This song is actually about the emotional “longing” you may have for a love interest; 8. Three Days to Live – It’s not about someone with very little time to live. Instead it’s about the three life views or perspectives in which we live our lives. We can live our lives in the past, present or future; 9. Ain’t No Wrong Way to do What’s Right – A father and son and life lessons; 10. Country to the Bone – Tried on city life for size, but it just didn’t fit. This girl is country to the bone; 11. When Children laugh – There’s just something about the innocent laughter of children. It serves to calm you down in moments of stress; 12. My Cowboy Hats off to You – A tribute to the king of pop Michael Jackson from a country perspective; 13. I Never Knew – A playful, fun romantic tune. I never knew you’d be…my dream come true; 14. Another Hug – A song about appreciation and not taking for granted those people closest to you in life. 15. Let it Go(Grandma’s Balloon) – At my wife’s grandmother’s funeral, my daughter and her cousin were about six at the time. They asked me if they could send Grandma a balloon in Heaven. It was another kids say the darndest things moment. I put this line into the chorus of the song. It’s about a special relationship between a granddaughter and her grandmother; 16. I’m Celebrating You – There are the traditional celebrations during holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and July 4th. Then there is the simple yet powerful celebration of the love of your life.
