And now for something completely different...

This is a lovely video by the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theater. We were shown this during program orientation, and as silly as it is, it is still informative.

a lovely composition

Intro

Well, I don't know if ya'll are ready for this, but I wrote a rap today in my intro to engineering class, which I may simply describe as what feels like a waste of time. I'm actually kinda proud of it, and definitely got some props from a couple classmates I shared it with. I felt ya'll should see it too, although it really isn't the same just reading it. It's much better performed.... (I pull off the stereotypical rapper dialect.) I'll try to help out with how I type it up.

Chek it!

I'm feelin' inspired
since I desired
to spend sum time
layin ou' my rhyme...
This E-N-G 13-0-1
Got my head unduh-the-gun
Can't wait til it's done
Cuz it ain't no fun
What duh hell're we doin'
Cuz dis class is screwin'
With whatI'drather be pursuin'
Atleastourgrades are a shoe in
It feels like a was[t]e
This class all ovuh duh place
Drooldrippin' down yuh face
Eyezcovered with uh glaze
Movin' at a slow pace
Why can't we cut to the chase?

(*rhythm change*)

We know IR equals V
And IV equals P!
Man, you think that we
Nevuh did see
Any 'lecticity?

(*rhythm change*)

In them comfy green chairs
You see us with them blank stares
Wonderin' "Who cares?"
Yeah.... Sic' em, bears...

Coocoo choir song... enjoy...

So the English translation of one of my Spanish choir songs reads as the following (with "cucu, cucu," at the beginning of EVERY line):

the frog was singing
under the water
a gentleman passed by
with a cape and hat
a lady passed by
with a long skirt
a babysitter passed by
carrying a salad
he asked for a piece
she wouldn't give him any
he went back in the water
and swam away

I didn't know why it wasn't making sense in Spanish, until I figured out that it doesn't make sense in English either!
