Back in the 80's I thought The Godfather's tune "Birth School Work Death" was dark and funny, but now that I'm 75% of the way through the song, it's more than a little scary, especially because if you're a teacher-- as I am-- then the second and third stages are essentially the same: Birth School School Death (unless you insert summer vacation in there-- Birth School Summer Vacation School Summer Vacation Death-- and then things don't seem as grim).
just went and ruined that song for me, didn't you?

ReplyDeleteI always liked the song. Even though most of the lyrics are rather pedestrian, you'll never hear another borrow from these original lines:
I've felt torture, I've felt pain / Just like that film with Michael Caine
I've been abused, I've been confused / And I've kissed Margaret Thatcher's shoes
sorry about ruining the song, but there's this positive: it's going to be a lot of posts before i ruin "when i'm 64."
ReplyDeletewhat film is he talking about?
