Song Parody #1: Some Nights (How Can I Pass This?)

And it begins! Here is the first of four song parodies, one per day until studying for finals is over at Dear Old Rose. (See that announcement here: http://runningwithradians.blogspot.com/2012/10/remember-remember-fifth-of-q-vember.html) The first song is "Some Nights" by Fun, rewritten to..."Some Nights (How can I pass This?)". Enjoy!

"Some Nights (How Can I Pass This?)"

Some nights, I stay up studying for finals
Some nights, I give up at four
Some nights, I cram like I’m packing up a suitcase
Some nights, balled up on the floor

But I still read notes, I still make flash cards,
Although, I'm still not sure it will help at all
How can I pass this? How can I pass this?
Most tests, I’d take D’s, for my score...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

Finals week, boys, time to cry – grades are about to die
Why can't we pack for home already?
Four hour tests giving misery – that’s been banned in most countries
They’re twice as long and I’m half as smart, and here they come again to crush my hopes

But that's alright; Halo 4 comes out on Monday night
Shooting aliens should take my mind off my exams, my exams, my exams
Oh, my exams? ewww... ewww...

Well, some nights, I wish I had gone Finance
Cause I’d be at a party right now
And some nights, I’m scared my social life is dead
Some nights, I get no sleep, I get no sleep...

But I still read notes, I still make flash cards,
Although, I'm still not sure it will help at all
How can I pass this? How can I pass this?
Most tests, I’d take D’s…(for sure)

So this is it? I sold my college years for this?
Given up on dates for this?
Forgot showers and WoW for this?

(Come on)

No. When I take tests, (when I take), when I take tests, they’re not so bad
When it’s finals, they’re just thrice as long, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!

Well, that is it guys, that is all – one hour gone, nothing’s written down
Four years of this, I'm not sure how anybody graduates
These tests were not made for mortal minds; How could our profs be so unkind?

All I think when I try to sleep is Gandalf “You shall not pass”

My heart is breaking with my classmates, as we try to graduate
When I look onto my graded tests...
Man, you would not believe, the most amazing grades, that can come from...
All partial credit...ahhh...

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh

The other night, I saw on Facebook my Rose alum friends and all their cool stuff
They made it through, and damn it was tough
It's for the best I study longer…
It's for the best I study harder... oh...
It's for the best I study longer…
It's for the best I study harder... oh...
