Music 101 - EXAM - Thursday 12pm
"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.]

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

Why are you asking us about the Golden Girls Theme Song, Professor Ted? It's a show about these four cranky old ladies, and don't get me wrong - it's like, one of my secret addictions, because I just can't get enough of Dorothy and Sophia at each others' throats, and Blanche is all slutty, and Rose! Omg! Rose is just oblivious to everything and it's hilarious. Sheer comic brilliance. But, um... don't tell anyone, because that would be ambarrassing if everyone knew. You won't tell anyone right? Please? Anyway, umm, the song represents the friendship between the old ladies because even though they're very different people, they still love each other underneath it all.
3. Pick a movie of your choice and discuss its soundtrack.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy had some superbly orchestrated music in it - a great combination of instrumental music with the occasional choral "aaaahhhhhh" background, and then a few vocal songs also, including Billy Boyd singing, which was definitely hot.
4. What do you think would happen to the world if music disappeared? Explain your answer.
The world would suck without music. I would have no passion or goal in life and I would be stuck reading the Bible all the time like my mother wants anyway. Also, like, all these famous rock stars would just go crazy and have no means of supporting themselves after their drug money is gone, because they could no longer sing high school proms or state fairs or bar/bat mitzvahs to bring in the cash. So they'd all be like, bums for real.
5. Giraffes. Musical creatures or not? Why?
Yes. I think a lot of people would just assume that they couldn't be musical because they're, you know, giraffes. But nature and animal sounds have been used in all sorts of relaxation and meditation
crapmusic. Also, the pounding of giraffe feet could be very rhythmic when walking or running, so that's like percussion - getting a good beat going, you know?EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION: Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp?
Well, it's from a song called "Deceptacon" by this trio of... girls who like girls, and it had this weird dance in the video. *Lane draws little stick people going through the motions of the dance: low res (http://www.letigreworld.com/sweepstakes/html_site/song/deceptacon/deceptaconvidlow.html)/high res (http://www.letigreworld.com/sweepstakes/html_site/song/deceptacon/deceptaconvideo.html)* Then this group called LCD Soundsystem did a remix of it, I think. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
And, like the lyrics are kind of ripped off from some cheesy old song (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/459473.html?view=21599953#t21599953) by Barry Mann.
