This Is Not a Test -
Boffo Yux Dudes

Michael Sokolski led the way
Choose from D, C, B or A
Just relax, you’re doing fine
Forget your future’s on the line

Take your pencil, number two
Make an oval, you do you
If you don’t know, then take a guess
Use your eraser, don’t leave a mess

Fill in your bubble
Or you’re in for trouble
Gotta do your best
On that standardized test
Or your future turns to rubble

SAT, GRE,
COOP and ACT
Pretty much all the same to me
My life’s on the line for a hefty fee

Goat is to bucket as frog is to what?
That’s an answer I never got
No aces, deuces and no triples
Nothing really could be more simple

Fill in your bubble
Or you’re in for trouble
Gotta do your best
On that standardized test
Or your future turns to rubble

(JAMES BROWN STYLE BREAKDOWN)
Scantron!
I gotta get my hands on!
Scantron!
I gotta get my hands on!

(SPOKEN:)
In 1973, Michael Sokolski, Vice President of Engineering for the Scantron Corporation invented the Scantron machine which automatically reads the results of answer sheets to multiple choice questions filled in by number two pencils!

Fill in your bubble
Or you’re in for trouble
Gotta do your best
On that standardized test
Or your future turns to rubble

Not an origin story, once again (except for the spoken bridge). So no challenge bonus. This song doesn't have anything memorable in it, to me, apart from the "James Brown style breakdown", which is... um... strange. It gives you a creativity bonus though.

Nice lyrics again, somehow transcending the concept of "origin story". It's an interesting way to meet the challenge, so I'll give you a nice challenge bonus! The recording, production, and performance sounds solid, but I wish it were a bit catchier. It doesn't stay in my head for long. This is why I gave you fewer composition points. The song still sticks out from most of the others - and I know what you are capable of. Looking forward to your round one entry 🙂
