Reasoning: I chose D minor because it's a sad and emotional key that fits the theme of the song. The moderate tempo and steady rhythm create a hypnotic vibe, similar to how a box of cereal can be hypnotic. The uncommon instruments (Theremin and Didgeridoo) add to the surprising and unexpected elements of the song, fitting the theme of transformation.
**Lyrics:** Verse 1:
A box of cereal, sitting on the shelf
Crunchy and sweet, just like myself
But something strange happened, a metamorphosis
It transformed into a ball, now I'm feeling envious
Verse 2:
I used to be the center of attention
But now everyone's talking about this shiny new invention
I feel betrayed by my breakfast friend
I didn't know that cereal could bend
Verse 3:
The ball is round and it can roll
It bounces effortlessly, having total control
I wish that I could change like it did
But I'm stuck in my ways, feeling bitter and hid
Verse 4:
This sudden transformation was unexpected
I didn't see it coming, it was undetected
It's peculiar how a box of cereal can morph
Now everyone's impressed, focused on its new form
Verse 5:
I wish that I could be different too
Like my breakfast buddy, I want to be brand new
But I'm stuck here, feeling obsolete
Watching the ball roll away, while I taste defeat.
Note: The use of the theremin and didgeridoo in this song would add to the feeling of transformation and unpredictability. The theremin's eerie sound and the didgeridoo's unique airiness would give the song a feeling of other-worldliness and unpredictability, emphasizing the strange and unexpected transformation of the cereal box into a ball.
**Refined Lyrics:** The rhythm of the song should be moderate to create a hypnotic vibe and cadence. The verses should include rhyming schemes to enhance the flow of the song. The use of descriptive adjectives such as "crunchy," "sweet," and "shiny" would add uniqueness to the song, making it more interesting and captivating. Finally, the repetitive use of the words "transformation," "unexpected," and "different" would emphasize the central themes of the song, making it more powerful and impactful.
**Album Art and Titles:** The use of the didgeridoo would also add to the jealous vibe of the song, with its deep and guttural sound conveying the emotions of envy and bitterness felt by the narrator towards the cereal ball. Overall, the song would explore the themes of transformation, envy, and betrayal, while also incorporating surprising and unexpected elements through the use of uncommon instruments.

Uncommon Instruments: Didgeridoo and Guiro
**Instruments:** For this song, I would suggest using a theremin and a zither as the two uncommon instruments. The theremin would add a haunting and otherworldly sound, emphasizing the unexpected transformation of the cereal into a ball, while the zither would add a twangy and eerie sound that would complement the feeling of jealousy.

2. "Broken Phone" (Chorus):

Without my phone, I'm on my own
