  • 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.)
