8 Bit and Beyond Episode #20 - An episode of lordly caliber [61:33m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadVidcast - Whiteboard Dreams…
April 29th, 2008John, Knight Ranger, and students in his Youth and Culture class did an improv muscial number in as a final project…
The audio is kinda wonky so the lyrics are posted…
Whiteboard Dreams
Montana: Dried up markers, pain in my ass!
What’s the point of coming to class?
I can’t even write on the board!
Can’t this wretched college afford
Now and then, a usable pen?
Just one good marker that writes!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
These are all out of ink!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
This could drive me to drink!
John: Dr. Miller, I understand—
Montana: Whatever happened to raising your hand?
John: I found a marker, and it looks brand new!
Montana: Extra credit!
John: Hey, I’ve got two!
Rachel: I see more—there on the floor!
All: Let’s just hope that one of these writes!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
John and Rachel: Why should we give a damn?
(Tell me more, tell me more)
John: There’s no final exam!
Emily: Dr. Miller, why’re you so stressed?
Thought you said we’re not having a test?
Montana: All these youth traditions and trends
Are much more than a means to the ends
Emily and Montana: We know that culture can’t be defined
It’s always changing, changing your mind!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
Kendall: All this theory’s for snobs!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
Anthony: Will it help us get jobs?!
All: Come on BG, our future’s at stake
Imagine all the notes we would take
If our professors could write on the board!
Montana to Tyler: Go find out where the markers are stored!
All: School supplies, they do symbolize
Our free expression rights!
(Tell me more, tell me more)
John: Have you tried Powerpoint?
(Tell me more, tell me more)
Kendall (sniffing marker): This is better than a joint!
Montana: Every year I try to pretend
That youth culture’s not going to end
That you won’t all forget this next year…
Dr. Wallach (appearing in doorway with Tyler): Dr. Miller, what’s going on in here?
All: Whiteboard dreams, erased, so it seems…
Montana and Dr. Wallach: But oh….
All: … this marker WRITES!
[Montana writing on board: “WRITES of passage”]
