• Me Against the Finals

  and I just keep going! Silly Finals Weeks, studying’s for kids

   

  okay, another Britney song, but pop music just lends itself to this sort of thing.

  [the study session has concluded and the students journeyed home to their beds. However, each one still fearing their upcoming tests, none has been able to go to sleep and so all remain stusying in their rooms. As each student sits quietly muttering to themselves, it almost seems as if the rants could be joined together into a choral complaint against exams...]

  Me against the Finals
  parody of Britney Spears and Madonna’s “Me against the Music”
  written by Josh Dworetzky
  inspired by and dedicated to Caroline

  Josh:
  all my people taking tests
  holla if you feeling stressed

  [spoken]
  Caroline: its me against the finals
  Josh:      uh uh
  Caroline: just me
  Kei:       and me
  Josh:     yeah
              hey bruins
              are you ready
  Bruins:   uh uh are you?
              nope!

  [song]

  Caroline:
  my test is bare
  i’m wracking my brain, I’m writing in haste
  i’m unprepared
  the sweat is drippin all over my face
  i feel your stares
  i’m the only one confused in this place
  just a nightmare
  sit up in bed scream, listen to my heart race
  it’s time again for finals, tryin’ to pass all my classes
  its like an inqusition, me against the teach
  i just wanna be done, i just wanna be done
  if you really wanna study, buddy up and go to powell
  tryin to get it you could cry
  in a minute i might bust into song, ima bust into song
  hey hey hey

  Caroline:everybody on campus
  Josh:    let me see you crammin
  Caroline:all you bruins feeling stressed

  Josh:     let me see ya crammin
  Wendy:  tell me how can it be finals so soon
               the quarter’s not that long
  Bruins:    not that long, quarter’s not that long
  Apryl:     for U-C-L-A baby, time is up
               gotta study all night long
  Bruins:    all night long

  Caroline:
  it’s almost here
  no one in my class who can explain
  i’m full of fear
  don’t know if my body can take the strain
  since last sunday
  caffeine, not blood running through my veins
  tonight i’ll pray
  that the test won’t send me down the drain
  cause it’s time again for finals, tryin’ to pass all my classes
  gotta write a composition, me against the UC
  working down to the bone, working down to the bone
  Josh:
  if you really seem to get it, bet you ain’t gonna forget it
  try and ace it but just face
  in a minute you can’t do anymore, can’t do anymore
  hey hey hey

  Caroline:

  damn bi-o-lo-gy, man how this blows
  though i need to study, i’m going nutty
  cause this is gonna take me all night long

  Josh:
  Caroline, you say you are going insane
  I feel your pain no you’re not in this solo
  silly bruin, don’t want to see you melt your brain
  if you don’t get some rest, hit a coma in the test
  all you students in the crowd, shaking all your heads
  c’mon bruins almost done, give in to your beds
