Author's Note: For our (Katelyn, Natalie, Erin, and I) creative independent project, we decided to make a music video of different songs and combine them. Below is the lyrics, but the website we used to make the video got shut down so the video is not available anymore.
ALEJANDRO
I know that we are dumb
And I know that we are just animals
But I just can’t deal with them anymore,
HUMANS
FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR
Now this is a story all about how,
Animalism got flipped upside down.
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there,
I’ll tell you how Napoleon made Animal Farm unfair
In the old Manor Farm born and raised
Working hard for Jones is how they spent most of their days
Pulling those carts, working all day
Complaining bout Jones’s evil ways
When the fat old pig had an idea
Started talking ‘bout chasing those humans away
He told all the animals, they got happy,
They said lets get rid of these humans and be free to go wacky!
GET SILLY
Jones didn’t feed ‘em,
The cows got mad!
They started to attack,
The other animals joined,
And they kicked them out with their bags!
The Rebellion! X5
The pigs took over
And they did very well
No one missed Jones
And they all ate well
They worked in the fields
And they worked very hard
But Snowball had an idea
But Napoleon didn’t like
So there was a brouhaha
And Napoleon's dogs attacked
Snowball disappeared
Now everything will be bad!
WORD!
DON'T STOP BELIEVING
Just a small town farm
Working hard for all their rights
The pigs ordered them to build a
Wi-hind-milllllll
They followed all the rules
Did what the pigs told them to do
Even if it would
Ki-hillllll them
(Natalie's guitar solo)
Suspicious changing of the rules
But what else can they do
For they are all scared of what might happen in the night!
NOTHIN' ON YOU
Beautiful pigs
All over the farm
I could be fighting but my life would be taken
But we got nothing on Napoleon
Nothing on Napoleon
They might say oink
I might say he-haw!
I walk on two legs and they walk on four
Cuz they are better than us
So much better than us!
SHOTS
Get work done!
If u aren’t hungry cows and horses
Get ready to get fed up!
Lets do it!
Oink oink!
Napolean
You know it Squealer
All of the animals
When I walk in the barn all eyes on me
I make em’ work till they fall
Nothing is free (Nothing is free!)
I make him write
All kinds of rules
Cuz we love to walk
On only two legs (Two legs!)
Work x16
ANIMALLLS! (Animals!)
The written script for this is really awesome; I mean, I love the video too, but the academic rigor comes through well here when reading the lyrics you all worked on to get the message across. I have got to find some answers for sound quality because you put so much work inot it, and I was afraid that it was hard to make out a lot of the words. Meanwhile, i loved the interpretation of the text, taking to a rap with the hooded characters representing the animals. I also enjoyed how you used more than one song. Overall, this was very creative, enjoyable, and reflected a high level of thinking on your part.
