It's a song and lyrics database. I'm trying to bake an app from my 
database, which looks like this: (every table does have a primary key 'id', 
I just left them out..)

    songs
        song_name

    artists
        artist_name

    songs_singers
        artist_id (FOREIGN KEY artists.id)
        song_id (FOREIGN KEY songs.id)

    songs_writers
        artist_id (FOREIGN KEY artists.id)
        song_id (FOREIGN KEY songs.id)

    song_views
        song_id (FOREIGN KEY songs.id)

    videos
        song_id (FOREIGN KEY songs.id)

    video_views
        video_id (FOREIGN KEY videos.id)


Writers and singers both overlap, i.e. some writers sing and some singers 
write.

When I bake the songs table, I get this error:
  * Error: Table singers for model Singer was not found in datasource 
default.*

I think the problem is that CakePHP wants me to create a new model for 
singers, so I'll have to end up duplicating the names of writers and 
singers in a new table singers. I just want the names stored in artists and 
have both song_singers and song_writers link to that table with foreign key 
IDs.

songs have many:
* views
* videos

videos have many:
* views

both writers and singers have many: 
* songs

What should I do?
