Cambridge-related song parodies we didn’t have the budget to make
Upgown Funk gun’ give it to ya
Here at The Tab we like to think outside the box. When we can’t think outside the box, we like to copy someone else thinking outside the box.
When we can’t be arsed to actually copy someone else, we write it in an article for you and pass it off as journalism.
After watching Eton Style, the remix of Gangnam style from our toff brothers down in Windsor, we decided to make our own. Then we decided it was too hard. Here’s what we would have done:
Bruno Mars: “Upgown Funk”
Stop
Wait a minute
Think my pidge got an essay in it
Have a read, take a look
Hugo! Get the books!
Check the UL, Faculty, finally the college
When we show up, we gon’ show our
Supervisor a distinct lack of knowledge.
R Kelly: “Tuition Remix”
It’s the remix to tuition
White privilege edition
We walk straight into jobs
While you grads are still fishing
Sipping port at a bop
Thinking so what if I flop
Daddy works in the city
He’ll just give me a job
Spice Girls: “When 2:2 become 2:1”
By candle light I read forever
A dream of a degree together
Say you believe it, say you believe it
Free your mind of doubt and danger
Your family probably won’t estrange you
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer baby, study on, study on
‘Cause tonight is the night when 2:2 become 2:1
I need a 2:1 like I’ve never 1 before
(wanna pass uni baby)
I failed last year, now I’m back for more
(wanna pass uni baby)
Set your flashcards free, it’s the only way to be
N.W.A: “Straight Outta Homerton”
Straight outta Homerton, crazy motherfucker reading education
From the college near Cambridge station
You can catch me, always rolling
To the arcades when I been bowling,
Don’t fuck with the Homerton abode
Or let us catch you out on Hills road,
We run the CB2 postcode
If you have the time, energy, resources and lack of social life required to make any of the above please feel free.
We can’t guarantee that it will go viral, but it’ll be posted on The Tab which is pretty much the same thing.
