Since it's back-to-school time, I thought it would be fitting (apropiado) to see this clip from the movie School of Rock, starring Jack Black as a loser who fakes (finge) being a substitute teacher at a private school to earn some money. In the triumphal finale of the movie, Jack's character turns a class of preppies (pijos) into genuine rockers and takes them to a Battle-of-the-Bands contest (concurso de grupos de rock), where they perform the song Teacher's Pet (mascota del profe).
But we were stuck in a dumb daze (atascado en las nubes)
Don't take much (no cuesta mucho) to memorize your lies
I feel like I've been hypnotized
And then, that magic man, he come to town.
Woo-Wee! He come n spun my head around
He said "Recess (recreo) is in session,
Two and two make five."
And now, baby, oh, I'm alive.
Ah Yea! I am alive.
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.
Oh, you know I was on the Honor Roll (cuadro de honor)
Got good grades, and got no soul
Raise my hand before I can speak my mind
I've been biting my tongue too many times
And then that magic man took to obey
Do what magic man do, not what magic man say
Now, can I please have the attention of the class.
Today's assignment (tarea)...
KICK SOME ASS!
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.
This is my final exam
Now ya'll know who I am
I might not be that perfect son
But ya'll be rockin' when I'm done
