High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Songshark is a slang term for a dishonest music publisher, whose main source of income is the naivete of new songwriters, whom they charge for services a reputable publisher would provide free to their clients. Songsharks aren't concerned with royalties or long-term profit, and do little if any actual promotion of songs; rather, they devote themselves to making a "fast buck" by bilking as many writers as they can, in exchange for demo recordings of their lyrics set to music — usually hastily and poorly made, with hackneyed "melodies". Songsharks sometimes go so far as to compile albums of songs by their clients, which they then sell to those clients at inflated prices, or promise them airplay, which typically turns out to be a single playing at an obscure radio station. A fictional example of a songshark at work is in The Monkees's TV episode "I've Got a Little Song Here", where Michael Nesmith pays a crooked publisher to accept and "promote" his song (actually one written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart).
