Satirical Winner from 5th Period

Monday, November 24, 2014

All of our tutors were challenged to write a satirical generic version of some form of writing that is commonplace. Here is essay from the winner in 5th period, Amber Sok!


Life Lessons: The Universal Lessons of Pop Songs
Performed by: Exotically Dressed Possibly Half Naked Woman Who Can Dance Alright
Written by Amber Sok


Building the scene with bornig first verse
Mostly spoken, but that's okay because the beat is good
Proclamation of either love, lust, or hate
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Questionable rhyme scheme hidden musician's muffled singing
Oh my gosh and you look pretty hot
Love is also good


I love you, I hate you
World peace and booty, booty, booty
Dancing and clubs, drugs and love, love
My heart is broken so
Let's be young and wild
More booty, and also love, love


Second verse begins with completely irrelevant lyrics
Because the artist knows that no one is paying atention by now
The beat has taken over and artist's voice is unnecessary
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Rhyme sheme abandoned
Oh my gosh and you look fine
Heartbreak so I go clubbing


I love you, I hate you
World peace and booty, booty, booty
Dancing and clubs, drugs and love, love
My heart is broken so
Let's be young and wild
More booty, and also love, love


I love you, I hate you
World peace and booty, booty, booty
Dancing and clubs, drugs and love, love
My heart is broken so
Let's be young and wild
More booty, and also love, love


Everyone is tired of the chorus by now
But the artist decides to give it one more go
Right after this bridge


I love you, I hate you
World peace and booty, booty, booty
Dancing and clubs, drugs and love, love
My heart is broken so
Let's be young and wild
More booty, and also love, love


Last verse finally arrives after thirty seconds of instrumental/rap
Wait, what was this song about? Oh, yeah
Ties back into the importance of alcohol
And of course big butts
But we can't forget world peace and love


End last lyric on a single chord strum to evoke that
Dramatic, poignant response from audience

Congratulations Amber!
