Are you a student? Have you ever tried doing your reading but been forced to stop as your head was smoking from all the big words and annoyingly complicated sentences? Yeah, me too. I spent some time being frustrated, but then I decided "Don't frustrationate! Procrastinate!"
The entire song is performed by me, Magnulus, using my angelic voice, some coins and my jaw harp all smooshed together in Apple's own Garageband. Of course, the melody is taken from the excellent Paperback Writer by the Beatles.
Lyrics:
Dear struggling student, when you read my book
it will suck your brains out with just a look!
It's based on a thousand other books I've read
And I reference them all 'cause I am an academic writer
Academic writer!
I use the biggest words at my command
To make it difficult to understand
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilico-
volcanoconiosis now that is big but nothing for a writer
Academic writer!
Academic writeeeer (writer!) (writer...)
It's got ten revisions give or take a few
Then another is out in a week or two!
I do this to add a couple more big words
And to empty your wallets cause I am a total pompous blighter
Academic writer!
If I wrote my book to be decipherable
Then the consequences would be terrible
You'd see that the book could be a quarter the length
But I wouldn't make money the way I do if it was lighter
ACADEMIC WRITER!!!
Acadeeeeemic writer! (Academic writer...)
Acadeeeeemic writer! (Academic writer...)
Acadeeeeemic writer! (Academic writer...)
Acadeeeeemic writer! (Academic writer...)
