  • Academic Writer (Paperback Writer parody)

    Posted by admin on July 8th, 2010 and filed under paperback books | 25 Comments »

    For mp3 and MUCH better video (with stereo sound) go to my site: http://magnulus.com/index.php?entry=entry071025-200221

    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…)

    (No, I still make no money off it, though a few people have been kind enough to help me lower my DEBT to cafepress lately. You’re awesome!)

    Everything in the song performed by myself using only the built-in microphone on my iMac, my cheap Jaw Harp, 93 pence in change and my own angelic voice. Edited in Garageband. (Then video edited in Final Cut.)

      Well, if you made the music for this one, you at least do not totally lack talent. The video was shit, but your ugly face fits well as an evil genie/spirit thingy. Actually felt a little scared looking at it.

      Seems to be the question most people ask when they see my video, only difference being that your four-year-old (or is it three) daughter is more eloquent than some of the “grown-ups”.

      Though Anna walked over while I was watching and asked in a very concerned voice, “Why are they doing that?”

      Well, I’ve already got a nice little halo of hair around my noggin, so I’m quite good, actually. I’ve got several different hats to wear as well, so while I really appreciate it, I sadly don’t think I really need it. Feel free, though! ^_^
      Great to see ya again, Lennie!

      Nice avant-garde performance, as always. Hehe, angelic voice indeed ^_^
      I’ve been away for 3 weeks, I hadn’t seen your new winter hair(less) cut. Is your cranium coping with the coldish weather?
