Okay so the general idea is we have a few tables of people all cramming for various science (it needn't be science we can make this in general) exams that take place at 8am the next morning. They all sing and dance energetically about them and about how they procrastinate and cram for them.
update:
opened up the song to being about multiple subject areas across the major faculties on campus (yes I know psych isn't necessarily a faculty but it opens helps with keeping the lyrics we currently have)
also added probable parts of the different main singing crammers, but this is just to stay as true to the original in terms of singing parts, even if the parts themselves are becoming more segmented and stratified. there should also be some backing behind this from the "chorus"
Defining the crammers:
1. Maths - tenor
2. Chemistry - soprano
3. Psych - alto
4. Physics - bari
5. Bio/Biochem - alto
update update:
I changed it back again to just science areas (as above) cause I think we have enough lyrics to do it. Which I am now writing.
