What is your song idea?

Previous request, Space Whales, was so good that I'm compelled to ask again. My friend is writing a Metroidish 8-bit style videogame with a snail for hero, which has a maze room you have to shoot and break open the path to get to an item, which has no enemies in it. Her bird enemies fly through all objects like Medusa heads in Castlevania, so I joked "that room with the breakable maze to the helix piece, you could have birds fly through there too. since they can already fly through the ground why not brick walls too." Anyways can you write a song about Birds In The Maze Room.

lyrics

if a heroic snail in a labyrinth seems out of place
like a bird in a maze
press start select b a
like a bird, like a bird in a maze

come on player one don't hesitate lest you be slain
like a bird in a maze
press start select b a
like a bird, like a bird in a maze

it's just an 8bit craze, just a side scroller kind of phase
it's just a bird in a maze
better press start select b a
with the bird in the maze

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
