Scapie's Essay/Intro to the song:
OK, um, so like—this is my last song for the year, and its supposed to be like the pinnacle of my learning for the year, and I totally think it is. If you’re wondering why I say that, it’s because it’s totally true, and I can prove it, so there.

First of all, once upon a time, I did a song called “Rolododododo”. This was a heartbreaking song about a monster, but the best part is totally the breakdown part, where it gets all emotional and it like gets to the core of the human/monster/cat experience. That’s the part about a monster following you, you know that part. And this song totally gets to an emotional place, just like that, except not about a monster following you, but trust me—you will hear the emotion in it for reals.

Next I did “Brushing” which was about getting brushed. Even though the assignment was about being like Shonen Knife, what I learned instead was about how I can write about things from my actual life. I don’t know if you know, but I really do like brushing! It really is really good! Well, this new song is about my real life, too, serious.

The next song was one called “Rubik’s Heart”. This was a thing from the 80’s, it was like a block of color squares and you’re supposed to turn it and make the colors line up, but in the song, I was pretending it was like a heart that was made out of one of those things, so you’re turning the heart and if the colors line up it’s like the girl loves you. This is called a metaphor. In this song, I learned about something my dad calls thematic punning, where you use lots of different words related to the main thing. I sort of did that in this new song, but without the metaphor, I was just talking about the thing I was talking about, but with words about it, too.

“Merry Christmas (If You’re Lucky)” was my next song, and that was about Christmas, but it was also about making the listener sympathize with me. I think you will sympathize with me even more on this song, because this song is one about a really tender subject that I think everyone can relate to, ok?

Next was “MF”. That one was a ballad, but this one is not a ballad. But what was the best part of “MF”? I mean the song, not the real MF. Real MF, the best part is eating it. The song “MF”, the best part was the part that really rocked. The part with the distortion and the hard rocking. I think you will see that this song really rocks a lot, as well.

My last song was “Silent All These Years”. That was a cover of someone else’s song, so I did not write it. But from that, I learned how important it is to make a song kick ass even if it is a boring song. This song is not boring, and I don’t think it ever could be, but I made extra sure it is super-awesome anyway.

So, like I said, this is my final song, and it’s totally like showing off what I learned, duh, as you can see.
