fandomhigh | Music 101 - EXAM

"Welcome to your last class for Music 101 dudes. You don't have class next week because classes finish on Wednesday. The day, not the student. Today is your EXAM. I hope you brought a pen. In case you didn't, there's some on the table in the corner. Please sit down at one of the desks. Before we start, I've got a few things to say.

Tonight is the Band recital, in here at 6pm. Be sure to stop by and support your fellow music dudes. There will be free punch and pie.

Lane Kim, Lily Evans and Rose Tyler - I never got your 'Your Life As A Movie' projects. Leave them with me today or you'll fail that project.

Okay dudes, here's the exam. Remember - no talking and no cheating. I think you can all do it without cheating. You've got the whole class time to do it, and you can leave once you hand in your paper to me. You can turn over your exam paper and start work."

[OOC: This thread will be open until Monday. If your character does not show by then, they will fail the subject. If you are reading this after Monday and have an RL reason for not showing (and are willing to give your character a *suitable* IC reason for not taking the exam), please contact me and we can arrange a supplementary exam.]

MUSIC 101 FINAL EXAM
Subject: Music 101
Teacher: Ted 'Theodore' Logan
Date: Thursday, December 15, 2005
Materials Allowed: Pen, pencil, eraser, liquid paper, ruler, Twinkies, Pop Rocks.
Instructions: Answer all 5 questions. The extra credit sections are optional. Answers are to see if you understood the main themes of the course. Answers will be graded on creativity and depth.

1. Write a short song using only the words 'dum', 'da', 'dee' and 'doo'.

2. Interpret these lyrics and give a reason for your answer.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say 'thank you for being a friend'
Daaaaa-da-da-dun-dun-da-duuuuuun.

3. Pick a movie of your choice and discuss its soundtrack (either the official one or the music in the movie). Point out what was hot and what was not.

4. What do you think would happen to the world if music disappeared? Explain your answer. [extra credit: use pictures]

5. Giraffes. Musical creatures or not? Why?

EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp?

1.doo dee,
doo dee doo,
dum da doo,
dee da dum

2. The song is about the importance of friendship, but I think it kind of misses the whole point since if the person is such a good friend they shouldn't have to buy them a massive present to show it, also it's the thought that counts more than the actual presents, plus the best presents tend to small.

3. Dirty Dancing has an amazingly diverse sondtrack that covers various different genres and themes within the movie. It also shows that Patrick Sawyze is more than just a pretty face and godd actor, as he sings one of the most touching pieces in the whole film 'She's Like The Wind.' As with all good soundtracks, it ends on a high, like the movie itself with 'Time of my Life.' There is nothing bad about the soundtrack at all, well maybe the part during the talent show, but that's not part of the official soundtrack so it doesn't count right?

4. The world would be a terrible and boring place without music, there'd be nothing to dance too, nothing to sing along to. It probably one of the worst things a person could lose. Music means so much, it can convey emotions, cheer someone up, show someone else how they're feeling. I world without music would be very empty.

5. Not, since as far as I know they don't actually make any sort of sound, but maybe they could be taught to play some sort of instrument or be used as backing dancers?

EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: The same guy who put the Ram in the Ramalamadingdong I think
